JOHN GORECKI ~ Milwaukee WI Saloonkeeper 1900's
Please reply with what you can tell me about the John Gorecki that is described [BELOW].
I have been trying to locate information on him in connection with the following information about GILDA GREY..........
Gilda Gray (October 24, 1901 – December 22, 1959) was a Polish born American actress and dancer who became famous in the US for popularizing a dance called the "shimmy" which became fashionable in 1920s films and theater productions.
Gilda Gray was born Marianna Winchalaska (or Michalska) in Kraków, Poland on 24 October 1901. Her birth parents were killed in a revolution and she was adopted from an orphanage. She escaped from Poland with her foster parents just before Krakow was taken over by Russia prior to World War I. Her parents emigrated to the United States in 1909 and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When Marianna was fourteen or fifteen, a marriage was arranged for her with a saloonkeeper's son, John Gorecki. To increase their income, Marianna began singing in saloons owned by her father-in-law.
