Additional Information: No definitive information was found about his parents, although Ellis Island records on ancestry.com for his brother Frank Makuch show his parents' partially illegible names. They had not emigrated.
Brother: Frank Stanley Makuch (1890-1973), born Kocina, Powiat Laski, Lodzie, Poland, appears to have emigrated to Cleveland in 1910. He married and had at least 4 children. He was buried at Calvary Cemetery, Cleveland, OH. A daughter of brother Frank Stanley Makuch was named Stephanie and a son was named Stanley, suggesting that one or both children may have been the namesake of Private Steny Makuch. Steny may have been a nickname for Stanislaw, but this was not verified.
