Jaroniewski / McLean


Daniel John McLean's biological father was Dominik Jaroniewski. It is our understanding that everybody regarded him as a thoroughly unpleasant man. The only specific information we have is that, at some point in his sons' lives, Dominik buried a litter of puppies alive in the back yard.

Dominik was born in Poland, as were his parents, and was a laborer who could read and write. He was born around 1895 and immigrated to America in 1912; his naturalization date is unknown. In 1920, he was working as a facory machinehand. He was 26 when Daniel John was born to his wife, Pauline Mlynarek; at the time of Daniel John's birth, the family was renting the house at 1148 Indiana Avenue, Toledo, Ohio.

Dominik later left Pauline. We have no knowledge of where he might have gone, if he returned to Poland, or when or where he died. We can find no trace of him anywhere.

Pauline later married George McLean, about whom nothing is known. To repudiate Dominik, his sons are said to have first taken the Anglicised version of their mother's maiden name, "Mlinarr", but later legally changed their name to "McLean". George McLean had come and left again in short order. We can find no sure trace of him. Pauline's older son Leonard left home around the age of sixteen because he so disliked George McLean's being in the house. But apparently his distaste for Dominik was greater than that for George, since he took George's name, though George had not adopted the boys while married to their mother.
