Max's WWI and WWII draft registrations, as well as his various death records, all show Max's year of birth as 1891, although the headstone says 1890.

The 17 Nov 1913 marriage record for Max and Stella Plachta states that his parents were Peter and Julia (Konkowski) Gasta. Family name on 1910 Federal Census-Michigan spelled GASZTA.

Upon the familyโ€™s immigration to North America their name was being spelled Gaszta. It wasnโ€™t until the early 20th century that multiple family members changed the spelling, some to Gast and some to Gasta. Though the family patriarch and matriarch, Piotr and Julianna, kept the original spelling of Gaszta unto their deaths.
