Hi all -
I'm hoping to find other Jucha relatives. Here is what I have so far:
My 2nd great-grandfather was Frank (Franciszek) Jucha, who married Agnes (Agnieszka) Fila. They had one son, John (Jan) Frank Jucha, b1896 in Gorzen Dolny, Malopolskie, Poland, m1928 to Martha (Marta) Knapp-Chicago, d1973-Chicago.
So far, I've found no siblings of my great-grandfather, but I WAS able to trace his cousin, Jon (Jan) Michal Fila. I sent a letter to the parish in Wadowice inquiring about siblings.
If anyone out there knows of siblings of John Frank Jucha, or siblings of his father Franciszek Jucha, I'd love to hear from you! Especially since it appears that Jucha is an extremely uncommon surname.
Here is the rest of the info on my Jucha line:
John Frank Jucha & Martha Knapp had the following kids:
1)Jo Anna b1930, m1949 to Thaddeus Serwanski, d2003.<-- my grandparents
2)Esther b1931, still alive so no more info can be posted for privacy reasons
3)John b1933, d1984 (only family member with no spouse, no kids)
4)Matheas b1935, m1955 to Geraldine McNally, d1992
The family settled in Chicago, and the only relatives who are no longer in the vicinity stem from my grand-uncle Matheas' line.
If any other Jucha's or their descendants come across this and think we might be related, please drop me a line! :)
