THE LUCKEW FAMILY
The Luckews.
Our story.
Steve and Gerry are a good place to begin. Mary Jean’s family history, Tom’s memories and the records gathered here help us follow the family through Chicago, with some promising leads back to Poland.
FAMILY ARCHIVE№ 001
Gerry’s older sister.
01 / THE FAMILY TREE
How we’re related.
Start with Steve and Gerry, follow the children’s families, or look further back. Tap any name to read what we know and where it comes from.
The later generations follow Mary Jean’s family history through 2019; later births and changes still need a family update. Some children are listed by first and middle names, as recorded. Dashed connections and separate groups show the older links we’re still checking.
