I noticed that the time of death was listed as 6:35 m, with no indication of whether the death occurred in the AM or PM. I further noticed that the Social Security Number is listed followed by the letter “A”. I don’t know what this designation means.

Thanks, Karen! The death certificate didn’t show whether he died at 6:35 AM or PM, so the extra information helps.

The skowronski family history is one that I did not know. This is very interesting to learn. MY grandfather was Edward Skowronski the son of Alexander Skowronski. I would love to help you in doing the next generations of the skowronski family. We also have children of our own who someday would love to look at this. I also wondered about the gravestones you have on this site. You dont have my grandfathers stone on here. If you need help in getting a photo I would love to do that for you. I live in Gardner MA and didnt relize my family started right here with Alexander and his wife (My great gandparents). Thank you Thank you Thank you for my family history.
