"My grandfathers' name was Majerczyk when he came to America he shortened it to Majesky. His parents are Stanley and Stella Majerczyk. My grandfathers' name was Johnny and his wife Mae. He had one brother and one sister; Joe and Helen. Helen used to live in PA.; not sure where at now.( if still alive). Joe was killed in a car accident. My father is John.
All that I know is great-grandparents came from Warsaw, Poland. Hope this helps. Also, my family was from Virginia. Last letter written from Great Aunt Helen in Polish dated 1948." Thanks, Lynn jeepcrasher@verizon.net
