Pope John Paul II was lauded by Evangelicals, Jewish leaders as well as Catholics when he passed away April 2, 2005. Born Karol Wojtyla in Poland, his genealogy has been documented. The Polish Genealogical Society published A Study of the Genealogical Lines of the Wojtyla Family more than 20 years ago.

You might note that my article was written on April 15 but the web site now says that the site was updated April 17, 2005. Obviously, the site owners have changed it after my article was published.
Google cached the earlier page at http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:QpwKS61PtFUJ:pgsa.org/+%2B%22Polish+Genealogical+Society+of+America%22+%2Bpope&hl=en. It includes a link to the article in question at http://pgsa.org/1981.Nwlt.6.v3n2.Wojtyla.pdf
