I have been using my family history research time to add all my findings to the familysearch website.
I have been reading my grandmother's three diaries for more clues. (Overall, the 3 diaries cover 1943 to 1959 when Dorothy is age 23-39).
I have also started creating a website that organizes what I have found so far. It can be found at

I hope this helps in collaboration efforts!

Pollocks from Slovakia too
UPDATE 9/18: Helen does not have a brother named Henry after all. However, I still believe her family is from Slovakia. The information below may or may not be helpful.
It looks like my cousin R. has been doing family history and has discovered where Helen Pollock's brother Henry is from. Looking at Henry's WWI and WWII draft registration cards, it looks like he was born in Zilina, Slovakia. Zilina is the Slovak spelling, which was used when Slovakia was part of Czechslovakia (during WWII time). Zsolna is the Hungarian spelling, which was used when Slovakia was park of Hungary (during WWI time).
Zilina is in north western Slovakia, about 120 miles from the capital Bratislava.
