Royko and Olatich are not necessarily ”Yugoslavian”. They could be Slovak, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Czech and even Polish.
Mike Royko’s (journalist) father was from Galizian town with Polish majority (at the time).
Used to have the hots for her when she was on mtv even though I always thought she was a bit weird….
ooh sorry for the previous comment I was mistaken
It`s a fuckin lie that she has polish or yugoslavian ancestry!If look at the source that “proves” she has that guy Andrew Royko is claimed to be her great-grandfather actually never had a daughter called Mary Ann Royko and Jenny McCarthy doesn`t have a grandmother with such name as well.And her maternal grandfather Andrew Loheit was never married to Mary Ann Royko he was married to Meta Loheit.Jenny is German and Irish!!!End of Story!!!
Andrew Royko had 10 children, including Jenny’s maternal grandmother (see the line “Father of 10 children” in the findagrave link).
Meta (Holz) Loheit was Jenny’s great-grandmother, not her grandmother.
A good read.
