Lemon Demon, whose real name is Neil Cicierega, is an American singer-songwriter, hailing from Massachusetts. His songs have included Eighth Wonder, The Ultimate Showdown, and Touch-Tone Telephone. He has worked for television shows in the past such as Gravity Falls.
Neil’s paternal grandfather was Gerald “Jerry” Cicierega, Sr (the son of Joseph Cicierega and Anna Suszinski). Joseph was the son of Michael/Michal Ciecierega and Mary Krzak. Both of Joseph’s parents were from Poland. Anna was the daughter of John Suszinski and Maryanna Gawrysz. Both of Anna’s parents were also from Poland.
Neil’s paternal grandmother is the daughter of Daniel Thornton Randall and Blanche Elizabeth Morehouse. Daniel was the son of Alonzo Benson Randall and Charlotte Dakin. Alonzo’s maternal grandparents were Irish. Blanche was the daughter of Frederick Alton Morehouse and Lillian Graham. Charlotte was from Nova Scotia, and her parents, Solomon Morton Dakin and Almira Eliza Cossaboom, are also the great-great grandparents of actor David Morse. This makes David and Neil 3rd cousins 1x removed. Frederick’s mother, Hannah Rachael/Rachel Cossaboom, was the sister of Almira Cossaboom. This makes Daniel and Blanche 2nd cousins. The Cossaboom line traces back to Dutch settlers in New York.
Neil’s maternal grandfather was Jean-Guy Rodrigue (the son of Joseph Georges Telesphore Rodrigue and Cedenie Marie Dostie). Jean-Guy was born in Québec. Joseph was the son of Georges-Henri Rodrigue and Marie Celina Quirion. Cedenie was the daughter of Joseph Wilfred Dostie and Cedenie Vachon. Jean-Guy Rodrigue was entirely French-Canadian, and is not to be confused with the politician by the same name.
Neil’s maternal grandmother is the daughter of Everett Stewart Stoddard and Margaret Warring Mesheau. Everett was the son of Ernest Henry Stoddard and Ella Frances Harris. Margaret was the daughter of Charles Frederick Mesheau and Julia Anna Bonnell/Bunnell. Charles’s paternal grandfather, Louis Anthony Michaud, was from France. Charles’s maternal grandparents were from Scotland.
