Mateusz Morawiecki was the Prime Minister of Poland in 2017-2023. He was born in Wrocław as the son of physicist and oppositionist Kornel Morawiecki, chairman of Fighting Solidarity. He has four sisters: Anna, Marta, Maria and Magdalena. The last one was born in 1966 and died at the age of five months. A few years ago, the politician shared with the world the information that he had a famous cousin.
Mateusz Morawiecki’s family. The former prime minister has ties to America
Morawiecki’s cousin is Susan Wojcicki, an American economist and businesswoman. In the years 2014-2023 she was the CEO of YouTube. Her father is Stanley Wojcicki, a physics professor from Poland, and her mother is a journalist of Jewish origin, Esther Wojcicki, née Hochman.
In January 2020, Morawiecki showed off a photo with Susan. They met in Davos on the occasion of the 50th World Economic Forum. – I will surely surprise you, but Susan is my distant cousin from the heart of Świętokrzyskie. Her family lived in Piotrowice, and my family lived in Nawarzyce and they knew each other very well – the politician said in the post.
Who is Susan Wojcicki? Google was created in her garage
In 1998, Wojcicki rented her garage to Sergey Brin and Larry Page so that they could start Google Inc. there. Sergey was the husband of her sister, Anne Wojcicki. In 1999, Susan became head of Google’s marketing department, and a year later vice president of the entire company. It introduced products such as Google Images, Google Books and Google Video. Morawiecki’s cousin is the wife of Dennis Troper, who also works for Google. They had five children. Unfortunately, their son Marco died in February 2024 at the age of 19.
The connection between Mateusz Morawiecki and Susan Wojcicki, genealogist Dr. Marek Minakowski. Susan is the granddaughter of the Polish politician Franciszek Wójcicki and the great-great-great-granddaughter of Wojciech Wójcicki. Wojciech married Katarzyna Kania in 1824. Katarzyna’s brother Antoni married Konstancja Lechowicz. It was in Nawarzyce, where Mateusz’s great-grandfather, Michał Morawiecki, was born in 1988. There are only two and a half kilometers between the place of birth of the former prime minister’s grandparents and the American economist. – If two people come from the same village and there are no large gaps in the preserved records, it is possible to find a connection between them. This is also the case here. For now, this relationship, which I have established and confirmed with documents, is quite distant. To connect Michał Morawiecki (Mateusz’s great-grandfather) with Adam Wójcicki (Susan’s great-grandfather), 27 affinities are needed – explained Minakowski.
