Hello,

I am Nancy Gayle Jarac Warren.I was born in 1946. MY father , born in Pittsburgh ,PaCharles F Jarac dropped the 'Z' on his last name when he joined the US Coast Guard in WWII. His father , my Grandfather was Karl Jaracz( married to Marie Klenk) .All my Jaracz family is from Krosno too.THey lived in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Karl who came to the USA in about 1903..His brother Henryk came to the USA after WWII . He had been a captured Polish soldier .... a prisoner , a POW at Auschwitz and then later transferred to a German slave labor camp in the West of Germany where he was freed by Americans in 1945. He married late in life and had no children.

I never really knew the JARAC family very well as my mother divorced my dad when I was a baby. She was from ALL American family in America since 1620 and from the South, My father was from the North and drank too much. PLUS, she was a protestant and he was a Roman Catholic...although not such a good one as he had been married to some woman in Texas whom he had just divorced to marry my mother and MY mother had no idea he had even been married before. IT was a pretty ugly divorce. My dad then married a woman from Croatia.

I have been married since 1969 and have 3 adult children and one grandson named Stevo Janjusic, whose father is Sasa, a Serbian/Croat refugee who is now divorced from my daughter. He lives in Germany now.

We are in Florida.
