The name Anastasia Rita provided for her mother was U. Katherine Warchol . This is the first time I’ve seen the letter “U” used in Katherine Warchol’s name . Perhaps her first name is not Katherine after all . The Big Book of Names provides a number of choices for Polish first names beginning with “U” . The most common I’ve seen is Urszula . I’ll have to keep this in mind if I look for the Birth Record for U. Katherine Warchol.
