Hi Catherine,

I recognize you from the Jakubany group.

I should've been more clear in that the Skapura name, specifically for my family
line, isn't likely to be the original name.  It was something like Skorzepa.
When they moved into Jakubany it Somehow became Skapura, which they continued to
use.

Thank you for the transliteration of the name. I will add it to my notes!

Tara

   Hi,

   I think "Skapura" is fairly close to an original spelling.  I have a
   Skapura family Bible where they recorded births and marriages.  The
   names are written using the Cyrillic alphabet (Russian), and the
   sounds would transliterate into: Shkapoora

   Catherine (wife of a Skapura whose family came from Jakubany)

Anyone researching the Herich family?
Karol Herich, born July 7 1869, died July 20, 1956.  Married to Anna
Geletko, born July 22, 1872, died July 13, 1949.  They are buried in
Hnilcik, Slovakia
Photo of their gravestone at http://homepage.mac.com/rskapura1/hnilcik/

Anna Herichova, born January 8, 1893, at Jerohutta #1.  Married to
Michal Geletko, born November 28, 1891, died June 6, 1965.  Buried in
Hnilcik, Slovakia.
Photo of the double headstone at the above link.  No death date for
Anna.
This makes me think she moved away, probably to live with one of her
children, after her husband died and is buried somewhere else.
There must have been children, because the headstone says, "Here lies
our beloved father..."

>>> This makes me think she moved away, probably to live with one of
her children, after her husband died and is buried somewhere else. <<<

If you assume that the children live in the same phone area code, the
only other places where the Herich name appears in phone listings are
Spisska Nova Ves and Smizany. Smizany is a western suburb of Spisska
Nova Ves.

Thanks.

Anyone researching Lesko?

I am now abstracting all information for the Lesko/Lessko surname from
LDS film 1739198, which is the area around Hnilcik, and posting it at
http://www.geocities.com/cathskap/Geletko_Puskar_Ancestry/index.html

So far I've got the page up for Lesko/Lessko Deaths 1810-1843, 1852-
1859.

Catherine

Catherine,
Nice job on all the names you posted.  I went to look out of curiosity.
Where is Hnilcik?  I was amazed at the number of surnames I recognized.  I
grew up in Struthers, Ohio, which is near Youngstown and the
Ohio-Pennsylvania border.  We had so many families with all of those names
living in Struthers.  The Steel Mill was the big draw.  In my own personal
research, I found a lot of the same names you listed, but I was researching
in Teplicska, Csepanfalu, Marcu Shovec (all near Spissa Nova Ves) area.
Have you looked into that area for your ancestors or are they only in the
area you mentioned?  I am particularly interested in your entry for
Susanna. November 4, 1871.
p: Stephanus Puskar & Helena Dzuricza, Bindt #86

What more can you tell me about Helena Dzuricza.  Dzuricza is in my father's
mother's line.

Thanks,
Marilyn

>>> I was researching in Teplicska, Csepanfalu, Marcu Shovec (all near

Csepanfalu = Marcu Shovec(sic) = Markusovce

Hnilcik is 7 km south of Markusovce and 6 km south of Teplicka "as the
crow flies". It's about 3X further by road.

Thanks.  My husband's ancestors went to Pennsylvania from
Czechoslovakia in the early 1900s.  Some later moved to Ohio.

Sorry, but I don't know anything about the Dzuricza family.  Right
now I don't know many of the the connections to the people I've
posted.  I'm simply abstracting entire surnames which contained some
of my husbands' ancestors, and hope to map his families to them.

I see that Stephanus and Helena also had a daughter Agnes in 1863,
living at Bindt #85.  Bindt and Hnilcik are near Spisska Nova Ves.

In 2003 my husband and I visited Jakubany and Hnilcik and have posted
photos at http://homepage.mac.com/rskapura1/jakubany/index.html

Hello,  I grew up with a family named Duritza in SW PA (Uniontown/Fayette
County).  It's one of those names you never hear, so when I saw your posting I
thought I would at least offer this information.  That's about all I can tell
you about the name.

I am looking for DIVIS Bohemians from the Chicago area at the turn of
the century. Particularly parents of Frank Divis. Apparently I had  a
grandfather Frank Divis (married to Rose Radocha) who died about
1920's in a car wreck. The car was driven by another Frank Divis who
was married to Ann, Rose Radocha's sister. Exhausted all family
members' knowledge and at dead end. Help. Lorna Divis Stein

There is a town called STEIN on a map I have of Bohemia 1849. It is in
the far NW. Would the STEIN name possibly be people of Czech
bachground or would it have been a town settled by German extraction?
Thank you. Lorna Divis Stein

There were actually three Frank Dives in Chicago in the 1920 Census, two of
them with wives named Rose! The first one, though, is probably the one you
are looking for:



             Frank Divis, age 29, Box Maker, born Illinois, parents born
Bohemia

             Rose, age 28

             Edward, age 8

             William, age 5

             Evelyn, age 1

             John Radocha, brother-in-law, single



             Frank Divis, age 31, Freight Handler for RR,

             Anna, 32

             George, 13

             Ladislaw, 11

             Raymond, 5



             Frank Divis, age 27

             Rose, 21

             Dorothy, 2



The 1900 Census gives the first Frank Divis's family:



             Joseph Divis, born 10/1859

             Catherine, born 9/1865

             Anna, 1883

             Jim, 1885

             Joseph, 1887

             Frank, 1891

             Emil, 1894

             Charlie, 1898



             Parents had been married for 18 years. Both immigrated in 1875.

Question if someone can answer it.

In the Carpathian area where the village of Szolyva is located (northeast  of
Munkacs), I've been looking at the map of Bereg from 1910.
I can see that northeast of the town of Szolyva if you follow the road,  near
Verecke, is a little village with the name  K SZOLYVA.  Now I  know that
means "little Szolyva".  But what I'm curious about is what this  town is now
called or what it was called after this wasn't Hungary anymore and  became
Czechoslovakia.
Would someone help shed some light on this?

It's interesting to me because most of my family comes from Szolyva, and  now
I"m wondering if there were any Jews living in K SZOLYVA?

THank you.
Daniel Wachtenheim

hello magnumaid
The name BUCHSTABIRER is an german name and means a person who spells
a word letter  by letter - it could be written also BUCHSTABIERER.
It could be a jewisch name. Today there are living no persons with

Dear Lorna,
Are you trying to find a connection between your surname and a place with the
same name? Or better say, find the roots of your family in a place called Stein?
This hardly ever works, because the surnames derived from the place name have
been created long before the records you can research.
Vladimir

Hello Richard,
Thank you for the information regarding this name.  It makes me wonder what the
origin of the name is and if it derived from an occupation. (writer, printer
etc.?)
All information I have lists the BUCHSTABIRER family as being Roman Catholic. 
Is there something specific about the name that makes you think it might be
jewish?
Thanks for your insight!

-Tara

   hello magnumaid
   The name BUCHSTABIRER is an german name and means a person who spells
   a word letter  by letter - it could be written also BUCHSTABIERER.
   It could be a jewisch name. Today there are living no persons with
   this name in AUSTRIA (WWW.herold.at - telefon book for AUSTRIA).

marriage in nolan co texas Senkerek, Mary 11/21/07 Gahura, Anton

according to a letter from Frank's wife (frank Jr was the youngest and was
born after the family immigrated)-- who wrote to me on Frank Jr's behalf
because his arthritis was too bad,:

"Father- Frank Senkirik Sr. Borned March 29, 1874 in Bloeslav,
Czechoslovakia died Dec 30 1930 age 54 years burried in Hermleigh Cemetery
Hermleigh, Texas, Scurry Co.

Mother- Marie (Blezek) Senkirik Borned March 24, 1883 in Prahura
Czechoslovakia. Died in texas City, texas Sept. 17, 1961 - age 78 burried in
Mont Olevet cemetery at Dickerson, Texas.

Senkirik Children

1. Joseph Borned 1900-death (unknown) burried at Odessa, Texas

2. Louie- borned Oct. 1, 1902 died march 7, 1987 at Portland Oregon age 82

3. Marry Marie Mraz- Borned March 24, 1909 inrosco, Texas, lives in nursing
home in Texas city, Texas now.

4. Sophie Hilcher- borned in Rosco, Tex. Feb. 22, 1912 died at Hermleigh,
Texas Dec. 30, 1932 Burried in Hermleigh cemetery-

5. Adolph- borned June 29, 1917 at Hermleigh, Texas.-Died unknown, Burried
somewhere in California

6. Frank Edd - Borned June 3, 1921 at hermleigh, Texas Scurry Co.

Mary was married to Ed. Mraz who died in 1967, two boys were borned to them
which are both dead now.

Sophie was married to Charlie Hitcher. no children.

That is about all Frank knows about the family...

PS. Joseph had 4 children - 2 girls and 2 boys, 1 girl is dead"

the 1910 census lists them as from Aust-Bohemia. the rest of the censuses I
have found list them as from Bohemia. of course the 1930census also lists
Marie's immigration as 1903 an Louie's as 1901. Joseph's in 1930 is listed
as 1903 also, and lists his birthplace and parents as Austria, but his
language as Bohemian..The 1910 census says they immigrated in 1906.

Born October 1, 1904 Tlumacas, Czechoslovakia

Died March 7, 1984 Clackamas, Oregon

Czechoslovakia and at the age of 2 moved to Galveston, Texas. He moved to

The information I have on Gahura and Zelik came from a gedcom file I got off

no Idea what their sources were... Thank you for taking the time to respond

Subject: Bardejovska Zabava 1869 Census

A while back, someone was asking about the 1869 Hungarian Census for
Bardejovska Zabava. The SEARCH function seems to have had cardiac
arrest. Here is a reply from Mick Sura.

Bardejovska Zabava was still part of town Bardejov, they have never
had any church there in Bardejovska Zabava. So, I do not think that
there was census in Bardejovska Zabava in 1869. I am aware only
Bardejov census 1849, which is kept in Bardejov archive.

Subject: Re: I am also new to this group


Welcome to the board and a new hobby. One thing you have left out is the
religion associated with each family name.



Let's start with an easy one. >>> Szobrancz, Ung Megye, Hungary
(ZELIK) <<< Given that village name, we are starting with an assumption
that the genealogy is Slovak rather than Czech.



Sobrance is just east of Michalovce. The Zelik name appears in area code
056, none are in Sobrance or nearby. GC church records are available for
Sobrance at LDS. What religion was Zelik?



Prahura? Are you sure? Any other clues? What is the source? Need more
info on this village. Could it be Prague = Praha?



Blazovice might be Blazov, Slovakia, formerly Balázsvágás,
Sáros, Hungary. This area is a military reserve now. Vyskov might be
Vyskov, Morava, Czech or it might be Vyskovce, Slovakia;
formerly Viskócz, Sáros, Hungary. Boleslav might be in Bohemia.



Flumaca or Tlumacas needs more information. Unable to identify.



In Slovak phone records, the Senkyrik name appears ONLY in Trnava, area
code 033, northwestern Slovakia.



Blazek appears 154X. WHERE should we be looking? What language did they
speak? What religion?
Gahura appears 3X in area code 052 and 034. What village should we be
looking at? Western Slovakia or north central? Or was Gahura Czech?

Subject: [S-R] Re: SZOLYVA/Svalyava



Question if someone can answer it.

In the Carpathian area where the village of Szolyva is located (northeast
of
Munkacs), I've been looking at the map of Bereg from 1910.
I can see that northeast of the town of Szolyva if you follow the road,
near
Verecke, is a little village with the name  K SZOLYVA.  Now I  know that
means "little Szolyva".  But what I'm curious about is what this  town is
now
called or what it was called after this wasn't Hungary anymore and  became
Czechoslovakia.
Would someone help shed some light on this?

It's interesting to me because most of my family comes from Szolyva, and
now
I"m wondering if there were any Jews living in K SZOLYVA?

THank you.

Even if I couldn't establish a personal connection I still want to
know if the derivation of the name might have come from that area.

Okay, but were there common ancestry between Germans and the Boii

Lorna,



You had said you were looking for Frank's parents' names also, which are
those shown in the 1900 Census.

Dear Daniel,



You misunderstood. The present name of kisszolyva is
Skotarskoye/Skotarske/Szkotarczka/Skotarszkoje (and other variations) in
Ukraine. The names I gave you are surnames of families that were found in
that village according to the RadixIndex
(http://www.radixindex.com/placeindex/kisszolyva.shtml).

To the experts out there...

   I just found one of my GGF's in the 1869 Hungarian Census and cannot
read/interpret all that is written in the columns.

   I have read and think I understand the headers and commonly used Hungarian
words from the 'iabsi' web site.  However, I am wondering if some of the
handwriting might be in Slovak?

   Some of the words (as I interpret the handwriting) are:

   Col. 7 (after religion) -- 'lndiy' (?) or maybe 'lndry' (?)
   Col. 8 Lirylufnno (?) or maybe 'Tirylufnno'

   Also, over the names is written two words, but, for example, over the wife's
name the word is not 'neje', but I cannot make out the letters.

   Is there another source of key words used in the 1869 Hungarian Census?

   thank you,
   Marilyn Sandorf

Your subject line mentions Lesko.  There were Leskos living in Whitney,
Pennsylvania, (Unity Township, Westmoreland County) during my childhood days in
this coal patch.  I don't know if they are still there.

I have never seen any of the census written in Slovak.  Magyar was the
language mandated.
Try the FHL Hungarian Language guide

LESKO is a hugely common surname, with many unrelated lines.  Tread
carefully lest you end up on many wild good chases.
