Besides, if anyone wants to know, here's a nice parsha from my sefer shel toldot shel mishpacha:
1) Fockos/Foczkos/Foskos: Jews of Diosgyor and Miskolc, Hungary; flee to
Slovakia (then Slovakian Hungary) to become Anusim by the 1770s, when first
baptism records for a Foczko ever show up anywhere, as the LDS documents.
2) Hanzoks: Became Anusim by 1840s or perhaps earlier. Absorbed into
Foczko family. Hanzoks and Foczkos continue to marry to this day. A recent union
was in the 60s, Josephus Foczko and Aurelia nee Hanzokova.
3) Rusnaks
and Novaks: Ya'akov Rusnak and his wife Marysia "Maria" Novakova Rusnakova
convert by 1876, are effectively sat shiva for until 1930s-1940s. Daughter of
Julia nee Foczkova and Andrej "Andrew" Rusnak is reached out to in 1940s by
Rusnaks, etc. (mostly Rusnaks, as far as is known) back home during Shoah.
Daughter Mary Elizabeth Gaydos nee Rusnak, who is her grandmother Marysia's
namesake, betrays reaching-out family by stopping to write to them.
Shoah-surviving Rusnaks make aliyah, immigrate to America far from Mary's
family, etc. and never talk to her again. Surviving Novaks-- hard to say.
Leopold Novak dies in Early Shoah, Anti-Semitic attack in Zlata Idka (then
Aranyidka) in 1936.
4) Monkas: Converted at some point, perhaps around
1860s-1870s.
5) Huglinksys, Homas, Gajdoszes, Ushinskys, etc.:
Conversions around 1840s-1850s.
6) Chernetskis, Danilowiczes,
Andrulewiczes, etc.: convert either during pogroms, or between pogroms and
Post-Shoah period. Ones who did not convert sit shiva and mutually never contact
converts again except in matters over family farm owned by Chernetskis, etc.
So this "mamzerah" is absoultely qualified to speak as a Jew, and a Jew for Jesus.
