Date Posted: 5 January 2000

My grandmother passed away two years ago, and the more I research, the more odd her records are, we have trouble verifying her actual birth name and birth date.
Her first and middle name was Louise Agnes, there is some contention over the last name. It should have been Cuityz , but has also been seen spelled as CHUTIZ (it is Lithuanian). What I have found is that she was probably listed as RICHARDS.
Her father was from Lithuana, by the name of Alexander Tony Cuityz, and her mother from Pennsalvania by the name of Stella Gertrude Hauser. Her birth date is listed as 8/30/1915, we are pretty sure the month and day are right, but the year seems to be up for grabs. She had a brother, William Frank who is listed as being born 6/27/1920, but we aren't sure what city, I'm hoping they were still in Racine.
