Hi Jessica,
My name is Dawn Rhodes-previously Dawn Gida. I have a second cousin Fred Gida who was nicknamed Derf. His father was also Fred Gida and he was married to Pearl. Fred Sr was my grandfather John's brother. Are we talking about the same family? I would love to hear back from you.

Thank you for your answer to my query. My relative, Jan (John) Gida, moved to California before WWII. He spoke only Polish. Some of his children were Casimira (Cassie), Stanislaus (Stan), Wanda, Ann, Helen. Is this the same as your Jan Gida? Thank you again.

Surnames: Guida, Gajda, Gayda
You might also want to extend your search to the surnames of Guida and/or Gayda. My wife's grandmother's maiden name is Lorraine Guida, her father Stanley Guida married to Helen Powlowski. Her grandfather was Anthony Guida, married to Helen Gazda. The are from Wilkes-Barre, PA with ancestors from Poland. They changed their names from Gajda and Gayda to Guida.

Thank you for the very helpful suggestions. As far as I know, my family only used the names Gajda and Gida. But I will try the names you mentioned.
