My great-grandfather (my father's mother's father).

We're currently unsure of the spelling of the last name Potiahaylo. It was changed arbitrarily to Pothalo, Potahailo or Puthalo (we're not sure) by the immigration authorities and that family name was used on the children's birth certificates.

This region was historically a part of the Galicia.
