Doing research for my step-daughter. Her mother is Karen Ann Zolkowski (Named Darlene Royko at birth in 1953) We know that Karen's mother was Dorothy M Royko born 1936 in MA to John V and Nellie (Bakaj) Royko. Our main focus is trying to find Karen's father who is unknown to us. The family story is that Dorothy became pregnant at age 16, gave birth in some sort of home for unwed mothers, gave baby up for adoption, then returned to Hadley, MA to finish high school and to eventually marry Edward Kasica. We do not know where to go to get info on Karen/Darlene's biological father.
