| Notes |
| Mike Dul (pronounced Dool) was born in Detroit in 1907. His parents, Kasper and Victoria (or Rosalia), who were both born in Poland, returned to Poland with Mike and his other brother John sometime between late 1907 and 1910. Mike lived there until he was 19, then returned to the United States to live in 1926. (He was a citizen of the U.S. during all this time, according to his wife, Rose.) For a few years after he came to the U.S. he lived with his uncle, Wojciech Lasica (Joseph Lasica's grandfather).
Mike married twice: His first wife, Nellie, bore him a daughter, Genevieve Dul, who was born in 1934. Nellie died in 1940. He married his second wife, Rose Krzys, in 1943, and they were married for 49 years. They have one son, Michael, born in 1944 in Twinsberg, Ohio, near Cleveland. Mike worked for most of his career for Gulf (which became Chevron). Rose says her husband was "a great plumber, electrician and old-fashioned handyman who could fix anything around the house." Mike and Rose visited Mike's siblings John and Maria in Poland in 1974. Mike died in 1993. He and Emil Lasica were first cousins. |

| Notes |
Rose and Mike married three years after the death of Mike's first wife. They had both been married once before, and in a show of love they accompanied each other to the graves of their former spouses. When she married Mike, Rose was working at Forstmann's, a garment factory on Lanza Avenue in Garfield (Lil Sporn Lasica also worked there). Lil's daughter, Kathy Lasica Schiro, interviewed Rose at her home in Lavallette, NJ, in August 2000 and described her as a "real dynamo. I liked her a lot."
