1940 and 1930 censi say Michael Katchak was born in Russia and Eva Wilkes was born in Austria or Poland, speaking Russian on both of them. They were members of Russian Orthodox Church, but I think it’s more likely they were Ukrainian or Rusyn or even Belarusian. I can’t find anything else right now.
