Julia Wisloski Coppola

Name:	Julia Coppola
Certificate:	055235
Death Place:	Westfield
Death Date:	12 Dec 1971
	This record was found in the Massachusetts's Death Records. I do not know for sure if this Julia Coppola is my great aunt born Julia Wisloski in 1906 and married Anthony Coppola in 1926. My search begins.

This and That

When my alarm goes off, I think there are a pack of ducks outside quacking. I really need to change the sound on my alarm. Ducks beside, I woke up at 4a and have not been able to fall back to sleep despite being up til 11p last night first chatting with my mom then Bill. I think we talked about everything from work to religion to family to vacation. My parents just returned from California and I wanted to know her plans for Mother's Day. She is taking my niece and her daughter to see Peter Pan in town. Therefore, I will mail out my Mom's birthday and Mother's Day cards today. I held onto them in the event, she wanted to come here for dinner or if she were at her shore house, I would have driven down there.

It is raining and I can hear the birds chirping in the distance, as the rain is tapping on the balcony, Another day will be starting and I believe I am teaching a co-occurring class this morning.

I took three days off in August to take the grandpoles on vacation, and the week after Labor Day to plan a vacation with Bill. I work Labor Day weekend, therefore already have that Monday off, so I requested off the rest of the week. I am not sure where Bill & I are going, but decided to take the boys to the Great Wolf Lodge in August. I am going to reserve a family suite. The boys will have a ball up there with all its games, kid events and waterpark.

I am still trying to locate Julia Wisloski Coppola in the 1930 Census records now that I know she married a guy by the name of Anthony in 1924. So far I cannot find her and Anthony in the state, let alone the city, so I will begin my search in other states. She is the last Wisloski I have yet to find. She was born in 1906, married in 1924 (marriage record), but seemed to disappear after that date. I am also still searching for the last Boland sibling, Ellen who folklore states she married, had a son who was involved in an accident, and Ellen suffered severe depression, and was even sent to Byberry State Hospital. Apparently, she only had one child. Her married name is still not accurate. It could be Di Santos, Di Santis, De Santo. I do not know the first name of her husband though I believe her son was named John, It would be great to discover her marriage record if only to get the correct married name.

Julia Wisloski

Was the youngest child of Lucas and Eva Wisloski who was born in 1906 after the death of her father. Folklore states that Julia displeased her family by marrying someone whom the family did not approve. This information made it difficult to track Julia because she resided at home in 1920, but by 1930, she no longer resided at the 166 Roxborough Ave address. Years ago, I asked my own father about his aunt Julia. He told me that Julia was disowned by the family due to marriage or religion and like everything else in his family, it was not allowed to be talked about. Same rule apparently applied to the death of Lucas prior to Julia's birth. Julia is not interred in the family plot at Westminster as are her sisters and brothers along with her mother and sibling spouses.

I came across a marriage record of Julia Wisloski who married an Anthony Coppola in 1924. That explains why she did not reside home in 1930. However, there are still many unanswered questions such as why I cannot find Julia and Anthony in 1930 or 1940. Why was her older brother, my grandfather, John Wisloski allowed to marry a German Lutheran Marie Schroeder and not be disowned. Marie did not change her religion to Catholic. However, she did have her children baptized in the Catholic faith vs. the Lutheran faith. The name Coppola suggests that Anthony was Italian, therefore probably a Catholic. Was Julia disowned for marrying an Italian vs. Polish? Again that standard did not hold for my grandfather who was Polish and married a German.

It is my goal to search out Julia and Anthony and trace their whereabouts. Some questions may never be answered, but I never thought I would find my great grandfather Lucas, and I did after false leads and endless research. Julia is a puzzle to be solved.
