Deitz-Pope Family Line
Smith/Angell Branch
New Discovery: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy-13th Cousin
Today while researching one of my ancestral branches in my dad's family tree and then my mom's family tree I discovered a line that connects both of my family lines to one of the most popular 1st ladies that ever lived.
I was looking into my polish family lines and first discovered that one of my lines from my dad's Repinski side of my ancestry goes back to the Polish-Lithuanian noble Radziwill line in the 1600s.
From that line I drilled down through the centuries and discovered that I had a 13th cousin thrice removed named Antoni Stanislaw Albert Radziwill.
Read on for my discovery....

The Radziwiłł family (Polish pronunciation: [radʑiˈviw]; Lithuanian: Radvila; Belarusian: Радзівіл, Radzivił; German: Radziwill) was a powerful magnate family originating from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland.
The descendants of Kristinas Astikas, a Lithuanian and a close associate of the 14th century Lithuanian ruler Vytautas, were highly prominent for centuries, first in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Prussia.
The family has produced many individuals notable in Lithuanian, Belarusian, Polish, German (particularly Prussian) and general European history and culture.
The Radziwiłł family received the title of Reichsfürst (prince, Polish: książę, Lithuanian: kunigaikštis, Belarusian: князь, kniaź), from the Holy Roman Empire.

Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, Radziwiłł was the son of socialite/actress Lee Radziwiłł (younger sister of First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy) and Polish Prince Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł.He married a former ABC colleague, Emmy Award-winning journalist Carole DiFalco, on 27 August 1994 on Long Island, New York.
Radziwiłł attended Millfield School and Choate Rosemary Hall preparatory school in Wallingford, Connecticut. In 1982, he finished his studies at Boston University, earning a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism.

Radziwiłł battled metastasizing cancer throughout his five years of marriage, with his wife, Carole, serving as his primary caretaker through a succession of oncologists, hospitals, operations, and experimental treatments.The couple lived in New York, and both Radziwiłł and Carole tried to maintain their careers as journalists between his bouts of hospitalization.
On September 21, 1996, Radziwiłł was the best man for the wedding of his best friend and cousin John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. Kennedy's older sister, Caroline, was the matron of honor.

Radziwiłł died on August 10, 1999,[7] nearly a month after John Jr. and Carolyn Bessette died in a plane crash. He was survived by his wife, his mother, and a sister, Anna.
1st Family Connection
Elizabeth's family to Anthony's family
Anthony's father's line connects to my Repinski/Dulek line through my Janta family line back in the 1600s through my 9th Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Janta. The family connection is that of marriages so it is not a blood connection but rather degrees of separation family connection.

| Caroline Lee Bouvier Radziwill-13th Cousin |
After discovering Anthony and my family connection to him, I did a little "family tree branch pruning" and discovered that I am also a 13th cousin of Caroline Lee Bouvier Radziwill, Anthony's mother, from my mother's line as well.
The Life of Caroline "Lee" Bouvier Radziwill-13th Cousin
Caroline Lee Radziwiłł (née Bouvier, formerly Bouvier Canfield and Ross; Polish pronunciation: [ra'd͡͡ʑivʲiww]; born March 3, 1933), formerly Princess Caroline Lee Radziwiłł, is an American socialite, public-relations executive, and interior decorator.
She is the younger sister of the late First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and sister-in-law of President John F. Kennedy. Her niece Caroline Bouvier Kennedy is named after her. She has married and divorced three times, the marriage to third husband Herbert Ross ending in divorce shortly before his death in 2001.

Early life and ancestry
Caroline Lee Bouvier was born in Southampton, New York to stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier III and socialite Janet Norton Lee.
Marriages and children
Radziwiłł has been married three times. Her first marriage, in April 1953, was to Michael Temple Canfield, a publishing executive. They divorced in 1959, and the marriage was annulled by the Roman Catholic Church in November 1962.
Her second marriage, on March 19, 1959, was to the Polish aristocrat Prince Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł, who divorced his second wife, the former Grace Maria Kolin, and received a Roman Catholic annulment of his first marriage to re-marry (his second marriage had never been acknowledged by the Roman Catholic Church, so no annulment was necessary). Upon her marriage she became Her Serene Highness Princess Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł. They had two children, Prince Anthony and Princess Christina.Their marriage ended in divorce in 1974.
On September 23, 1988, Radziwiłł became the second wife of American film director and choreographer Herbert Ross. They divorced shortly before his death, and she returned to using Radziwiłł, her children's name.
Career and fame
In the 1960s, Radziwiłł attempted to forge a career as an actress. Her acting attempt was unsuccessful if highly publicized. She received dismal reviews in the 1967 production of The Philadelphia Story, starring as spoiled Main Line heiress Tracy Lord. The play was staged at the Ivanhoe Theatre in Chicago, and Radziwiłł's performance was widely panned. A year later, she appeared in a television adaptation of the Hollywood film Laura, which was also badly received. Radziwiłł discontinued her acting work.
She visited India and Pakistan along with her elder sister Jacqueline Kennedy (then First Lady of the United States) in March 1962.
A London townhouse and a manor Turville Grange in Turville that she shared with her second husband, both of which had been decorated by Italian stage designer Renzo Mongiardino, were greatly admired and frequently photographed by Cecil Beaton and Horst P. Horst. She herself worked briefly as an interior decorator in a style much influenced by her association with Mongiardino. Her clientele were the wealthy; she once decorated a house "for people who would not be there more than three days a year". She frequented celebrity company, including travelling with the Rolling Stones during The Rolling Stones American Tour 1972, during which she was accompanied by Truman Capote.
For some years, Radziwiłł was a public relations executive for Giorgio Armani, the Italian fashion designer.
She received the Légion d'honneur from the French government in 2008.
Her Paris and Manhattan apartments were featured in the April 2009 issue of Elle Décor magazine. Radziwiłł was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1996. She was listed as one of the fifty best-dressed over 50s by the Guardian in March 2013.
She was interviewed by director Sofia Coppola in February 2013 about her life as part of Radziwell's cover story for T: The New York Times Style Magazine as well as about Coppola's film The Bling Ring and the loss of privacy.
References within popular culture
In 1973, Radziwiłł hired documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles to work on a film about the Bouvier family. At the outset, the brothers filmed two eccentric and reclusive members of the extended family: Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale ("Big Edie") and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale ("Little Edie"), who were Radziwiłł's aunt and cousin, respectively. The Beales lived in a rambling, decaying home in East Hampton, New York and were supported by other members of the family.
Radziwiłł's original film project was not completed, and Radziwiłł kept the footage that had been shot of the Beales. However, the Maysles brothers were fascinated by the strange life the two women led, and after raising funds for film and equipment on their own they returned and filmed 70 more hours of footage with Big Edie and Little Edie. The resulting film, titled Grey Gardens (1976) after the name of the Beales' home, is widely considered a masterpiece of the documentary genre. It was later adapted as a 2006 musical of the same name, in which the characters Lee and Jackie Bouvier appear as visiting children in retrospect. An HBO television movie based upon the Grey Gardens story appeared in 2009, and featured both Radziwiłł and her sister Jackie both as children and as adults who later assisted their aunt and cousin to refurbish their dilapidated, condemned home.
My 13th cousin, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was the wife of the 35th president of the United States of America.
I am honored to share a blood line with this historic beautiful lady.

The Life of my 13th Cousin Jacqueline Kennedy
Bouvier was the elder daughter of Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier III and socialite Janet Lee Bouvier.
In 1951, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature from George Washington University and went on to work for the Washington Times-Herald as an inquiring photographer.
In 1952, Bouvier met Congressman John F. Kennedy at a dinner party.
In November of that year, he was elected as a United States Senator from Massachusetts, and the couple married in 1953.
Married in St. Mary's Church, Newport, R.I.
The reception was held at the Hammersmith Farm in a Victorian house. Wedding night at Waldorf- Astoria, N.Y.C., N.Y., and then honeymooned in Acapulco, Mexico, in a pink stone villa on the Pacific Ocean, lent to them by the President of Mexico.
They had four children, two of whom died in infancy.
As First Lady, she was known for her highly publicized restoration of the White House and her emphasis on arts and culture.
On November 22, 1963, she was riding with the President in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, when he was assassinated. After his funeral, she and her children withdrew from public view.
She married Aristotle Onassis, one of the world's richest and most famous men, in 1968.
Following her second husband's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor for the final two decades of her life.
In November 1993, Jacqueline was thrown from her horse while participating in a fox hunt in Middleburg, Virginia, and was taken to the hospital to be examined. A swollen lymph node was discovered in her groin, which was initially diagnosed by the doctor to be caused by an infection.
The fall from the horse contributed to her deteriorating health over the next six months.[180] In December, Onassis developed new symptoms, including a stomach ache and swollen lymph nodes in her neck, and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
She began chemotherapy in January 1994 and publicly announced the diagnosis when she stated that the initial prognosis was good.
She continued to work at Doubleday, but by March the cancer had spread to her spinal cord and brain, and by May to her liver.
Onassis made her last trip home from New York Hospital–Cornell Medical Center on May 18, 1994.
The following night at 10:15 p.m., she died in her sleep at age 64.
John F. Kennedy, Jr. announced his mother's death to the press, stating she had been "surrounded by her friends and her family and her books, and the people and the things that she loved". He added that "She did it in her very own way, and on her own terms, and we all feel lucky for that."
On May 23, 1994, her funeral Mass was held a few blocks away from her apartment at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, the Catholic parish where she was baptized in 1929 and confirmed as a teenager.[
She was interred at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, alongside President Kennedy, their son Patrick, and their stillborn daughter Arabella.
President Bill Clinton delivered a eulogy at her graveside service.
At the time of her death, Onassis was survived by her children Caroline and John Jr., three grandchildren, sister Lee Radziwill, son-in-law Edwin Schlossberg, and half-brother James Lee Auchincloss. She left an estate that its executors valued at $43.7 million.
Legacy
She is remembered for her lifelong contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture, as well as for her style, elegance, and grace.
She was a fashion icon, and her famous ensemble of pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat has become a symbol of her husband's assassination.
She ranks as one of the most popular First Ladies and was named in 1999 on Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in 20th-century America.
