It's Not Your Money

These Last Weeks at College for This Semester

I cannot count how many times I've had to go onto @Wikipedia and correct some of their (what they'd like to call) information.

Dad and Aunt Mary with their Gajdos (Gaydos) grandparents. I've already mentioned Great-Grandma's background (This includes her betrayal of the trust of the family back in Kosice. Obviously, her celebrating Easter would've come as all the more a no-surprise slap in the face to them.). Great-Granddad was a son of Mihal and Katarina Uszinskyova Gajdosz (Michael and Catherine Ushinsky Gajdos).

Dad and Aunt Mary with two maternal aunts on Easter 1963. Their mother and aunts are daughters of the late Marysia "Mary" Elizabeth Rusnak Gaydos, a descendant of the Kosice, Slovakia-based Jakub Rusnak (part of the Kosice Rusnaks of the Jewish Diaspora).

The gentile who Great-Granddad wanted to marry. He married her on May 10, 1934; and his mother made their first two years miserable.

My dad's parents on his first wedding day (July 22, 1989). I call like I see, and they are two of the most despicable people and self-hating Jews that I have ever met and known. I obviously do not have warm feelings for them. My attitude towards them has since somewhat changed (i.e., I'm, begrudingly, trying to be more loving and forgiving toward or about them.). But it's still hard for me to understand a few things, including why they didn't talk about our Jewish heritage.

My estranged dad and his paternal granddad, Anthony John Czarnecki, Sr..

Born Antoni Jan Julianowicz Chernetski, Great-Granddad was the only Poland Russia-born son of Julian Jan Feliks Antoniowicz and Aleksjondria Alicja Antoniowicza Andrulewicza Chernetski. Both of his parents had parents named Antoni and Katarzyna; Julian's mother being Katarzyna Danilowicza Chernetska of the Krasne, Poland Danilowiczes, and Alexandria (nee Aleksjondria)'s mother being Katarzyna Margiewicza Andrulewicza. Meanwhile, Antoni Chernetski owned a family farm in Lipsk nad Biebrza (his son's and namesake grandson's birthplace); and Antoni Andrulewicz was also Antony Andrulevich, of the Andruleviches of Buzhanka in the Kiev region of the Ukraine.

As a Crypto-Jewish Roman Catholic in Sugar Notch, Pennsylvania with Crypto-Jewish parents who brought him there to escape the pogroms and resignedly assimilate amongst the no-better Anti Semitism and rejection by the Jewish community in America; Great-Granddad carried a bitter attitude partly because of his pogrom-escapee and Anusi existence.

My dad was, from an early age, a victim of this attitude; hence "Doesn't seem too upset at his [Grandfather Czarnecki]." Meanwhile, my dad obviously cut the last part of the caption in the photo while scanning the photo, which I had to figuratively twist his arm to get. Like grandpa, like grandson- and ironically, the grandson who he didn't want to be; the one like his Pop-Pop Czarnecki.
