Jenny married John Somyk (1897 - 1962), another immigrant from Poland. They were married in 1937 and had two children:

Jenny and John lived in the Bronx, New York for years in the bottom floor of a large brick apartment building and their entrance was in the back. Both her children went on to marry happily. My daughter Jennifer (Jenny) Anne (White) Hasten (b. 1974) was named after her. Uncle John was my Godfather and I took the name John as my confirmation name. Jeffrey Allen John White.

I can rememberging to visit my Aunty Jenny in the City. We lived in a suburban setting and the city was very excitin to us. My aunt would display a silver table top Christmas Tree on her TV every year.And this was the firt time I saw fake snow that came out of a can. My aunt always had those colorfully stripped ribbon hard cadies in a bowl and we loved them. I think that my aunt and uncle were the buildings managers. We would take the Long Island Railroad into the city and weould change to take the subway and she lived near a station. This was both exciting and scary to us but we lovrd going all the same. M aunt passed away when I was aoung adult, married with my own family. I will always remember my aunt and uncle and visiting them.
