Note

Tony's parentage is up for debate.

His marriage certificate lists Anton Korzeniewski as father, tho the earliest Census has him listed as an Uncle. Then his military records list Anton as his Grandfather.

Only the marriage certificate lists his mother's name as Emily Wegner, tho she appears in no other records.
