The Kotlarek Project started as an independent study to link all of the Kotlarek family units in the United States. Spearheaded by genealogist Barbara Jean May, she has collected information on the eight Kotlarek family units in the U.S. and has tentatively connected them to one ancestor. The project is now spanning into Canada and Europe.
