Disruption. Hardship. Fracture.

In this episode of The Fronczak Files, Jack and Tracey dig into Jack’s maternal roots, a family story shaped by strong Polish Catholic ties, isolation in the Tennessee mountains, and the post-war boom in Ohio. Together these forces helped mold Marie Duncan Rosenthal.

What pushed the Duncan family to leave Tennessee for Ohio? Who became involved with an evangelical TV church? And how did a nomadic upbringing leave lasting consequences for Marie? Join Jack and Tracey as they trace the Duncan line back to its Appalachian beginnings and uncover what the journey north changed forever.

 Join Jack and Tracey as they:

• Summarize Marie Duncan’s genealogy

• Detail the family move from Tennessee to Ohio

• Explore how frequent moves affected Marie’s life and stability
