On ancestry.com I have found more information about my Slovak and other families
than I have ever before. My intent was to join for one year and work in it every
day and it has paid for itself many times over.

Strakas in my family came from Nagyvitez, now Vitaz, Saros.  Actually, they are
cousins so I don't know much about the ancestry except that the father or
grandfather of the Straka who came to this country (Bridgeport, CT area - 1880)
was listed in the Lutheran records as free.  I still don't know the full
implications of that.

Although there are only a small number of Sztrakas listed in the Slovakia
phone directory, there are nearly 1000 Strakas, at least two of whom are in
Kendice.

Sztraka is the Hungarian spelling; Straka the Slovak.

Nancy,
My maternal grandmother was Kendice.
I looked in the 1995 Slovak Census to see how common a name Sztraka is.
There were only 24 listings in 9 places, none in Kendice. So it is a fairly
rare name.
Although you would not know that from the Ellis Island listings.
Besides Ellis Island, have you tried any of the other ports of entry?
Did the Census give any other useful information?

With all the talk about brick walls on passenger lists, I thought I would
add my "brick wall" and see if anyone else has any good fortune.

My ggrandfather' s name on the Kendice marriage record (1892) is GABOR
SZTRAKA. I find him on the 1900 Federal Census living with his brother's
family in Somerset County, Paint Township, PA--
John Straka--brother (Head of household), age 29, year of immigration 1895
Gabriel Straka--age 32, year of immigration 1900
Bertha Straka (sister to John & Gabriel)--age 19, year of immigration 1895

I have not been able to find any of these on a passenger list but I am
mostly interested in Gabriel.
Thanks for any and all help.
Nancy

My mother's maiden name is Janosik.  Her grandfather was the immigrant.  These
Janosiks were from what is now Chminianska Nova Ves, but my great-grandfather
Janosik moved over to Vitaz when a Janosik female (I forget whether it was his
sister or his daughter) married a Straka from Vitaz.  (They were all in the same
Lutheran church.)  My great-grandmother was an Olsovsky (that's how it ended up
getting spelled in this country, but I have seen it Olshafsky and various other
ways).

I have a couple of generations back on both these lines but would have to get my
papers out (which are not handy at the moment).  I know there is a Rothman a
couple of generations back.

None of your names look familiar, though.  Funny you can have such a small
village and that can happen (though, my direct line were new arrivals in Vitaz,
but not from THAT far away!).

I went to school with a Balogh.  His parents had come from Budapest in 1956.

  Best wishes for the new year!  Judy Goss

Deb,
I am now using a Mac and I find it hard to make the change from the PC. I have
Reunion 9 nd I'm just starting to use it but it can't compare to Family Tree
Maker 09, in my opinion. Maybe that's just because I am used to a PC for
research but I wanted to say I agree with you. I have been with Ancestry for a
long time so I don't know about the 2010 version.  The biggest frustration for
me is the confusion of uploading and downloading Gedcoms. I lose the ones I want
to keep and then I find all these files in my program that I don't want. You're
probably saying how do you lose a GEDCOM?? I can do it quite nicely!
Even in Ancestry, I can do a precise search and if I keep looking over the
records, forwarding through the pages, I might find what I'm looking for 20
pages into the surname. It is frustrating  that the info doesn't come right up
the first time.

Ben,
Bibrka (Polish: B�brka, Ukrainian: ??????) is a town in western Ukraine, located
in the Lviv Oblast (province) about 29 km southeast of Lviv on PI29.

The town has been ruled at various points by the Kingdom of Poland,
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Austrian empire, the Austro-Hungarian
empire, the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, the Kingdom of Hungary, the
Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and is now part of the Lviv Oblast in Ukraine;
as a result Bibrka has several official and native names, including: B�brka
(Polish/Russian), Prachnik (German), and Boiberke/Boyberke (Yiddish). The city
has a population of 3,980.

http://genforum.genealogy.com/ukraine/messages/8892.html is a link to a page
that lists the FHC films for your Bobraka. My conjecture is these records are
available because the town has been controlled by so many political states. When
your relatives lived there is going to be the determining factor as to the
availability of their records.

Dear Judy:

Hello! Thank you for responding to my inquiry.  I am  familiar with the
JANOSIK surname.  The godfather of my great, great  grandfather JAN JURASKO who
was born in the nearby village of Richnava in 1825  is an ANDREAS JANOSIK.
He was also the godfather to two of my great, great  grandfather's
siblings.  I haven't been able to trace another farther back  (pre-1820 records)
yet, but from what I have seen in my other lines, the  godparents were usually
related in some way.

It is good to see another Sarisan (from Saris county).  I  wish you and
your family a very Happy New Year!

Best regards,

David

   Hi Judy,

   my husbands great-grandmother (that is the line I am researching in the Presov
area),  also was an "Olsavsky", but they lived in Eperjes/Presov, starting in
1807.
   She married Jan Makara in 1850 in Presov.  I found her father's
marriage,Georgius Olsavsky, and he stated, he was born in (what looks like)
Raßlavitz/Raslavice.?

   Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year,

They are the same village, just a name change after WWI.

And, from my reading of NOVELS,  very frequently, they were "recruited' as cheap
labor for the coal mines, or steel mills.   where many of them were known as
HUNKIES,???     From the lives that some of them led, I got the feeling that
many of them would have been better off to have stayed in Slovakia.             
Life in the mines , working for the "Company Store" was anything but paradise.

Dan,
     I do not know if my story is typical. I found that from my paternal
ancestral village a great many of them went to Bridgeport, Connecticut and many
stayed. Thus I gave it the title of "Little Hromos". This was demonstrated when
the Mayor of Hromos showed me a framed document from the 1920s. The Hromos
church was in need of repairs. So they made an appeal to Hromos immigrants. On
this document were some 40 people from Hromos who lived in Bridgeport that had
contributed to the building fund.
     I think you will find that this is a pattern. Someone immigrates, they write
back home. Someone there decides to join him. Overtime you can have a "snowball"
affect that results in a story similar to mine.
     You may have heard of a style of beer, Pilsner. Named after the Czech city
where it was created. The name of the area in Chicago, Pilsen, seems to be
indicative as to where the people of the area came from.

hi - i have a listing for Bobrka POLAND in the Slovak Pride data base. It is
someone who was on my trip and we got him there (used to be Galicia). Wondered
if there might be a connection.

Ben,

If you're still here you have a document you were going to translate for me.

hi Dan - when my grandfather was 90 I asked him if he got lonesome in America
as his family was in the old country. He replied "half the village was here!"
This was in the Binghamton NY area - that ol' chain migration. Powerful. People
came to places they had friends or had heard about and then worked and
encouraged others to join them and helped them get a start.

We've been told that our grandfather would not admit he was from Slovakia
because he did not want to be called a "Hunkie".  He always told us he was born
in PA.  But if him and grandma wanted to talk about something they didn't want
the kids to hear, they spoke in Slovak.

Tom,

What you say is partially correct.  While it is true that many were
recruited as cheap labor, and that they were known as "Hunkies" (from
Hungarian), it is not true that they would have been better off to have
stayed in Slovakia.  Conditions were very difficult and Slovaks, (even
today), as a rule, went to other countries (not only the US) because it
was difficult to find work in Slovakia.  They did not work for the
"Company Store", rather, they worked for the companies that owned the
mines and steel mills.  The company provided the "Company Store" in the
"patches" where the miners, for example, lived and worked.  Since the
miners were usually paid in scrip (not cash), they could only patronize
the Company Store, which accepted the scrip.  My father, who was a
woodworker in Slovakia, could not find enough work in his occupation so
he first worked in the mines and later worked in a steel mill.

While I, personally, object to being called a Hunky, this was no more nor
less than the common names for other nationalities, e.g. Dagoes, Krauts,
Johnny Bulls, etc.

Michael, your comments about Bridgeport, CT are very interesting. When
I was looking at census records (before I joined this group and
figured out how to really spell my grandfather John Clarchick's name!)
I found a Janos Kolarcsik who emigrated to Bridgeport CT. Do you know
if his name was on that list of donors?  It turned out that wasn't
"my" JK, but if Kolarcik is not a common name, I wonder if they were
related at some point.

Here's to a new year where the FHL pilot comes back on line soon!

Elaine,
     I will try to find that list for you.
     In the mean time here is what I have found about your surname spellings in
the 1995 Slovak Census -
     There was no listings for Kolarcsik. The "s" is indicitive of a Hungarian
spelling.
     The list below shows there are four ways to spell the name in Slovakia. Each
with its own set of dialect marks.
     To read the list: 1st word - name of the place. 2nd if "okr." the following
is the District the place is found in. If "obec" the place is an area within a
city. 3rd if "odr. then a year, what the District was called before that year.
4th the number of listings of the name found in that place. Notice that the
majority of the places are in the District of Presov. And all but one place
(Bratislava) are all far eastern Districts. No listing for Hromos. The nearest
town to Hromos on the list is Sabinov. Usually the Census helps narrow down the
area to search for a surname. Unfortunately, this list does not do that. But it
does give you places you know where the surname can be found now.

I am brand new to this forum (just joined yesterday!) and while I was planning
on writing a intro post, this thread caught my eye because of the reference to
Bridgeport.  I was born and raised in Bridgeport, and my family has lived there
for a long time.  Before my time, there was a section of Bridgeport called
Hunktown. While I always cringed somewhat when I heard the older generation
refer to the area, I knew several people of Hungarian background, and it was
actually a point of pride for them to say that they were born in or lived in
Hunktown.

Looking forward to learning a lot from this group!
Debbie

Hi Helene,


If you are refering to me no I was not on a trip there. I would love to talk to
someone who comes from the area. I am also interested in volunteering in the
area in exchange for seeing the village and seeing written documents. I am a
former teacher and I just watched a great special on the Ukraine and the return
of Catholicism and rebuilding churches there. I started crying because these
people need healing and a return to faith having endured so much persecution. I
would love to return to the land of my grandparents.

hi - i have a listing for Bobrka POLAND in the Slovak Pride data base. It is
someone who was on my trip and we got him there (used to be Galicia). Wondered
if there might be a connection.

Is there anyone near the Bobrka region of the Ukraine?
I've hit a dead end in my research on my Denega (Denjga) Romanow family.

Ben,

If you're still here you have a document you were going to translate for me.

My grandparents ended up in West Islip, New York another pocket for Czech and
Slovak immigrants. I have inlaws from Binghamton Helene. Phalens and Mincolas,

hi Dan - when my grandfather was 90 I asked him if he got lonesome in America as
his family was in the old country. He replied "half the village was here!" This
was in the Binghamton NY area - that ol' chain migration. Powerful. People came
to places they had friends or had heard about and then worked and encouraged
others to join them and helped them get a start.

My grand parents i found landed in the pilsen area in chicago
from the Austria-Bohemia origins on the 1910 census would you think groups
migrated together and settled in groups from same areas in Czech?
Thanks
