Is your great grandmother Mary Mitchell born abt 1883 and died 6 oct 1969 in North Ridgeville, Lorain, Ohio. Do you have any more details about her specific birthdate? I have her husband born 14 Dec 1876 in Romainia died 15 Jun 1950 in Elyria, Lorain, Ohio. Have I got that right? Was he also born in Translyvania?
Thanks so much.

No, we are not Jewish. As far as origins in Romania my great grandmother Mary Pais was born in Transylvania.

I did some research on PAIS. There are Pais in Holland who are of Portuguese origin. They are Jewish.
I had contact with a Pais in the Ukraine and noticed that there are also Pais living in Romania. I was wondering if the latter are of Jewish origin. Do you know? Do you know where the Romanian Pais came from?

And his parents: MY DAD, GEORGE PAIS, MARRIED ALICE PRINCE IN ALLIQUIPPA, PA. IN 1946 THEY ARE ALL BURIED IN BROOKDALE CEMETERY ON OBERLIN RD. IN ELYRIA, OHIO.

Re: Nicolai Pais m. Mary Mitchell

aflower24 — 2008-08-02 18:37:28Z

After Mildred was born, Paul, Jennie, George, Emil, William,
& Eleanor were born.
There is 1 name missing-my dad Emil-said he was 1 of 11 children. I was told there was a child born & died young before my dad was born or even shortly after. Do you know?
In the 1910 census our last name was spelled POESCH.
Lazar Pais was Nicolai's brother who came with him in 1903 or 1904. He also went back to Romania & came back to the US in 1914. He left again and stayed in Romania. Do you know anything else about him in Romania?
Also, do you know anything about Mary Mitchell's family in Romania?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Lucario Pais (Paiz) - New Mexico - born Dec 1844

jamesresner — 2008-07-14 05:51:03Z

Looking for information on this family.

In the 1900 US Census he was listed with:

Antonia (wife) b. Jun 1847
Francisco (son) b. Oct 1867
Zenaida Guterries (niece)b. Mar 1886
Magin Quintana (grandson)b. Aug 1890
Apolonia Martinez (sister-in-law)b. Feb 1844

Zenaida Gutierres is my Great Grandmother and we cannot locate anything on her.

I'm hoping that by figuring out her direct relationship to either Lucario or Antonia Pais we can track her family down.

Thanks!

I am new to this website, but the name Pais Becher caught my eye. I recently recieved some papers about my ancestors, and my grandparents were Thomas and Mary Pais. On one of the papers my grandfather signed his name using Pais Becher. I'm wondering if you have any information on them. Thomas died around 1969, and Mary around 1985. They came from Auronzo, Italy and settled in Crosby, PA. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
