Tuska/Schwartz relationship

E. H. Satliel stated that Julius Schwartz was the nephew of Morris Tuska.  So let's see if that's possible.

Morris Tuska was born in 1831.  He had 4 brothers.

His oldest brother, Jonas, married Josephine Schwartz.  Their children would all be named Tuska, not Schwartz.  Josephine might have brother's who's children were named Schwartz....but they would not be related to Morris Tuska.  You simply are not related to your brother's wife's siblings.

The children of Jonas Tuska and Josephine Schwartz would be the nieces and nephews of Morris Tuska.

Jonas Tuska and Josephine Schwartz had a daughter named Julie and this is who Morris married.

Morris Tuska married his brother's daughter, his niece.

So now, his sister-in-law, Josephine Schwarz Tuska is also his mother-in-law.

This also means that the siblings of his wife, Julia Tuska, who were all his nieces and nephew, are now his brothers-in law and his sisters-in-law.

Could it get any more confusing than that?

Any of Julia Tuska's sibling's children could be her nephews and nieces.  However, none of her siblings married someone with the surname "Schwartz".    So Julius Schwartz could not have been her nephew.

Morris Tuska only had brothers, so none of their children could be named Schwartz.  So Julius Schwartz was not his nephew.

Morris' brother Jonas did marry a Schwartz, but her siblings children would not be related to Morris Tuska.  Her siblings would be aunts and uncles to Julia Tuska and their children would be her cousins.

Even when Josephine Schwartz became Morris Tuska's mother-in-law....her siblings would not be his nephews by marriage.

Therefore, I see no possible way that Julius Schwartz could be the nephew of Morris Tuska.

Can you?

Sage advice - never marry a relative.  It messes up the family tree.
