Mary Potash father was Romanian-Jewish from Oradea:

How do you know he was Jewish? Francis isn’t a very common Jewish first name.
Potash is a Jewish family.
If you dont believe he was Jewish, what he was then? Oradea was home of a Jewish community too.
The first four people listed here don’t seem particularly Jewish.

He could have been Hungarian, Romanian, Polish, or another Slavic group. Last names and their spellings get changed over generations.
Kinda agree about those people though here we have a man with a very Jewish surname from a town with a big Jewish community, thus he was hardly Hungarian or Romanian. There are some profiles in this site of people with Potash ancestors, or from Oradea, and are all Jewish (including a Israel PM). Francis Potash was 99% Jewish IMO.
Thus she would be around 1/64 Ashkenazi Jewish.
