L. J. Csamer was my Great-Great-Grandfather. His store was on 322-324 Chestnut St. However that is the land that St. Stephen's Church was built on, now called Resurrection Parish. 601 Broad St. is now Heritage Discovery Center's parking lot.
My husband's great grandfather was Albert Tietzel pictured in the German Day program. I would love to talk with anyone familiar with the Cambria City Maennerchor.
