Their death records are likely in the church books. ONDO was a common name in
the area in and around Michalovce and Kosice.

Thanks very much for the link Johnqadam!
After pouring over the records for Stvrtok, I found nothing.
Not giving up, I used the Familysearch database in all different manners
and ways and came up with (eventually) Sandor Moravek in a place called
Plavecký Štvrtok.
Turns out that even he did not remember his birthdate exactly. It was the
18th of Dec 1876 instead of the 8th Dec 1877. The ship manifest was right.
Also Plavecký Štvrtok was known as Detrekőcsütörtök which makes a huge
amount of sense as it very closely resembles the handwritten place of birth
in the ship's manifest in 1909 - Yet by 1919 when he applied for
Naturalization, he shortened it to Csutortok and forgot his birthdate.
Detrekőcsütörtök is very much closer to hometown as well.

He was the illegitimate son of Carolina Moravek from Malaczka, Close to the
Austrian border, along the way from Bratislava to Kuty. No wonder he spoke
German.

For me, the MORAVEK-MORAVKO-MORAFKO transformation answers certain
questions that I asked of this group a while ago.
Simply, MORAVEK appears to be the Czech (and possibly Slovak version) of
the Moravko name. Somehow, his mother called herself or was named Moravek,
yet he called himself Moravko. Why? Why not stay with the name Moravek???
An answer to this could be that the family name was Moravko (possible from
Moravke - a Hungarian diminuitive form for Moravia and the name of a
tributary of the Morava river).

I had hoped that there was no connection between Moravek and Moravko as far
as genealogy is concerned. Now I am not so sure. It makes my work much
harder.

Hi,

not trying to be a hater but probably her parents were thrown back to Germany
after WWII. This is common knowledge the Slovaks in disgust of the holocaust
(real or not) evicted the German colonist out of the country. Not sure when
Nimitz brought to Texas to join other German farmers but very often I see
Germans that claim ancestry in SR and CZ Rep. here in Texas. Germans colonist
were always subject to suspicion. Since they were sent back to a particular
village in Germany I would look there as well. Bingen, Germany.

I have put a file up in 'Leporis' files that at the top of the list is "#5
Andreas_Leporis". I see that on #34 is a Vietoris also. The Vietoris is well
known to me as a family alliance with the Leporis from apparently 1611 (during
reformation) through at least the late 1700's. (see Joseph Drenko / Kunova
Teplica..), also partially uploaded in my file list. Here is the question! How
in the world am I going to track all the Evangelical (Lutheran) pastors in my
family from Liptov to Kunova Templica? Does the Hungarian Reformed Church hold
such records? My main partner in this quest is actually a Vietoris descendant
whose gggrandpa was god son to Leporis (Advocate) in Kosice. What can I say,
Lutheran pastors moved a lot obviously. Also I invite you all to look for your
family's names and possible ancestors (probably would be Lutheran) in these very
old documents I managed to score for our viewing pleasure. In following
historical documents I have come to some fantastic realizations in my own
ancestry which make for an interesting story of some sort.. In any case I seem
to be so close yet so far in joining the dots as my family was very duplicitous
in their religious believes ie: communion in both kinds etc. (topic for SK world
probably). The transition of religion from Catholic to Lutheran is probably the
most interesting story yet considering the players involved. What's confusing me
even more is Gasper Leporis(Ucitel/teacher)and his brother(s) moving to
Vojvodina (NW of Novi Sad, old Jugoslavia). Linking him to Revuca was simple
enough but still searching concrete data. As Curt and I have discussed before
Revuca Evangelical church data was mostly destroyed by fire. However, enough was
retained for Joseph Drenko to mention my ancestors there. So what do I do? Too
long of post? I know exactly where this is all leading for the family as
Siebacher's and the Hungarians have left solid clues for me in their armorial
records however I still have too many gaps to present in essay what I've found.
I'd appreciate any feed back no matter what.

Cynthia,

"not trying to be a hater but probably her parents were thrown back to
Germany after WWII. This is common knowledge the Slovaks in disgust of
the holocaust (real or not) evicted the German colonists out of the
country."

In 1929, the first Slovak Republic was founded.  The first Prime Minister was
Monsignor Jozef Tiso:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_Republic_%281939%E2%80%931945%29



I have never heard of German colonists arriving in Slovakia nor of evictions of
"German colonists" during WWII. There were historic towns colonized by Germans,
Hungarian and Rusin Towns.


From where did you get information on this??


I do know that Czechoslovakia evicted Germans from Sudetenland but this was long
before WWII.

I do know many people who made errors in immigration records because Records in
Ellis Island listed the immigrants arriving before the fall of the Austria
Hungary monarchy, were listed as German, (Austrian), or Hungarian.  Our Slovak
ancestors were often , (at least), bi-lingual, (Slovak, Hungarian or German),
and very often tri-lingual, (All three).

 In your message following this, are you referring to the Reformation and
Counter-Reformation??  

I do not know if you have contacted people there but  here is the site for the
Lutheran University in Bratislava:

Z Bohom,

Vilo

Pan Mojher,
Thx! Any chance you might know where to chase this 'described document' down.
State Archives?

known to me as a family alliance with the Leporis from apparently 1611 (during
reformation) through at least the late 1700's. (see Joseph Drenko / Kunova
Teplica..), also partially uploaded in my file list. Here is the question! How
in the world am I going to track all the Evangelical (Lutheran) pastors in my
family from Liptov to Kunova Templica? Does the Hungarian Reformed Church hold
such records? My main partner in this quest is actually a Vietoris descendant
whose gggrandpa was god son to Leporis (Advocate) in Kosice. What can I say,
Lutheran pastors moved a lot obviously. Also I invite you all to look for your
family's names and possible ancestors (probably would be Lutheran) in these very
old documents I managed to score for our viewing pleasure. In following
historical documents I have come to some fantastic realizations in my own
ancestry which make for an interesting story of some sort.. In any case I seem
to be so close yet so far in joining the dots as my family was very duplicitous
in their religious believes ie: communion in both kinds etc. (topic for SK world
probably). The transition of religion from Catholic to Lutheran is probably the
most interesting story yet considering the players involved. What's confusing me
even more is Gasper Leporis(Ucitel/teacher)and his brother(s) moving to
Vojvodina (NW of Novi Sad, old Jugoslavia). Linking him to Revuca was simple
enough but still searching concrete data. As Curt and I have discussed before
Revuca Evangelical church data was mostly destroyed by fire. However, enough was
retained for Joseph Drenko to mention my ancestors there. So what do I do? Too
long of post? I know exactly where this is all leading for the family as
Siebacher's and the Hungarians have left solid clues for me in their armorial
records however I still have too many gaps to present in essay what I've found.
I'd appreciate any feed back no matter what.

This is my deceased husband's grandfather.  There are no living relatives
available to ask where exactly they came from but I have found some information
on his WW1 Draft Registration.

Please view this at my web page:  http://www.breny.com/pics/ww1_1.jpg

It looks like Nutsnois Zenplinski, Austria  to me.  On the 1910 US Census he is
living with a lot of families that all say they are from Austria and they
actually have Russian as the language they speak.  The last name is currently
Miklish, but I've seen lots of variations on that such as Micklish, Miklus,
Micklos, Miklos.  Peter was born in 1892 and the earliest I find him in the US
is the 1910 Census with his parents and siblings.

I'm trying to research this for my daughter.

Any help is apprecated.

Vilo,

Thanks for responding, but I feel I must make a few important corrections before
this topic goes too far.  Everyone here needs to do a bit of basic homework,
because this history is too complicated, too political and too emotional to be
discussed profitably at any great length on this Genealogical forum.

To repeat, questioners and answering people, you owe it to yourselves and the
rest of us to do some basic reading. There is so much propaganda on this topic
that Wikipedia may well be as accurate as anything else you find on the web -
there is a lot of nonsense and inflammatory writing out there, and forums out
there for people who like to argue history.

Corrections:
The first Slovak Republic was set up in 1939, with Tiso as president. Google
First Slovak Republic.

German colonists were invited into the country in the 1200's to help rebuild and
repopulate after the devastation of the Mongol / Tatar invasions of 1242. There
was another wave, perhaps in the 1400's.

Germans were kicked out of CzechoSlovakia in 1945 and after WW II. Google Benes
Decrees; Carpathian Germans; Zips Germans; german expulsion.

Josef Tiso: google his name to find out if he was premier, prime minister or
president 1939 - 1945. That was a very controversial time and there are strong
opinions about him and his government.

Another topic to google is 'holocaust in Slovakia' for another part of history
with several perspectives.  I suspect the Germans were kicked out more for their
5th Column activities in WW II and not over indignation at the Jewish Holocaust.

So on with the homework!  When you come back to the forum with this topic, try
to keep it as close to genealogical as possible. There are many controversial
stories to be learned above, and this is NOT the forum to hash these out!

Hallo Vilo,



I think you have some typos in your e-mail.



1. The first Slovak Republic was founded in 1939 and not 1929.



2. The expulsion of Germans form Czechoslovakia was after the WWII in 1945. You
can read about it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_Germans_after_World_War_II#Czechoslova\
kia

And

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germans_from_Czechoslovakia\
_during_and_after_World_War_II



I am not sure about the „Point of view“ of this articles, the point of view
form German writers is definitively diffrent than of Czech writers.



There were expulsed also Germans from Slovakia, mostly is talking only about
germans frome Sudetenland. It is easy to understand why – in Sudetenland there
were about 3.000.000 Germans, in whole Slovakia about 150.000.

Cynthia,

"not trying to be a hater but probably her parents were thrown back to
Germany after WWII. This is common knowledge the Slovaks in disgust of
the holocaust (real or not) evicted the German colonists out of the
country."

In 1929, the first Slovak Republic was founded.  The first Prime Minister was
Monsignor Jozef Tiso:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_Republic_%281939%E2%80%931945%29

I have never heard of German colonists arriving in Slovakia nor of evictions of
"German colonists" during WWII. There were historic towns colonized by Germans,
Hungarian and Rusin Towns.

From where did you get information on this??

I do know that Czechoslovakia evicted Germans from Sudetenland but this was long
before WWII.

I do know many people who made errors in immigration records because Records in
Ellis Island listed the immigrants arriving before the fall of the Austria
Hungary monarchy, were listed as German, (Austrian), or Hungarian.  Our Slovak
ancestors were often , (at least), bi-lingual, (Slovak, Hungarian or German),
and very often tri-lingual, (All three).

  In your message following this, are you referring to the Reformation and
Counter-Reformation??

I do not know if you have contacted people there but  here is the site for the
Lutheran University in Bratislava:

with the race Leporisz) also (in the clubs with the tribe of Leporisz), which in
1711 was Trentschiner ctte publicirt - is how Google Translate did your German

Trentschiner is Trencsén county (in Latin: comitatus
Trentsiniensis/Trenchiniensis, in Hungarian Trencsén (vár) megye, in Slovak
Trenčiansky komitát/ Trenčianska stolica/ Trenčianska župa, German:
Trentschiner Gespanschaft/Komitat) is the name of a historic administrative
county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is presently in
western Slovakia.

There is a state archive in Trencin, but it is pretty limited in its holdings.
The Slovak National Archive in Bratislava would be a better one to try and see
if they have the document you are looking for.

There is a problem with the notation – King Leopold I died in 1705, so how he
could be doing something in 1710 is interesting.

Vojvodina (NW of Novi Sad, old Jugoslavia). Linking him to Revuca was simple
enough but still searching concrete data. As Curt and I have discussed before
Revuca Evangelical church data was mostly destroyed by fire. However, enough was
retained for Joseph Drenko to mention my ancestors there. So what do I do? Too
long of post? I know exactly where this is all leading for the family as
Siebacher's and the Hungarians have left solid clues for me in their armorial
records however I still have too many gaps to present in essay what I've found.
I'd appreciate any feed back no matter what.

Vilo,

Ladislav expressed it well. But you presented a good opportunity to list off
some reading people should do.  Thanks.

Hallo Vilo,

I think you have some typos in your e-mail.

1. The first Slovak Republic was founded in 1939 and not 1929.

2. The expulsion of Germans form Czechoslovakia was after the WWII in 1945. You
can read about it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_Germans_after_World_War_II#Czechoslova\
kia

And

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germans_from_Czechoslovakia\
_during_and_after_World_War_II

I am not sure about the „Point of view“ of this articles, the point of view
form German writers is definitively diffrent than of Czech writers.

There were expulsed also Germans from Slovakia, mostly is talking only about
germans frome Sudetenland. It is easy to understand why – in Sudetenland there
were about 3.000.000 Germans, in whole Slovakia about 150.000.

Cynthia,

"not trying to be a hater but probably her parents were thrown back to
Germany after WWII. This is common knowledge the Slovaks in disgust of
the holocaust (real or not) evicted the German colonists out of the
country."

In 1929, the first Slovak Republic was founded.  The first Prime Minister was
Monsignor Jozef Tiso:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_Republic_%281939%E2%80%931945%29

I have never heard of German colonists arriving in Slovakia nor of evictions of
"German colonists" during WWII. There were historic towns colonized by Germans,
Hungarian and Rusin Towns.

From where did you get information on this??

I do know that Czechoslovakia evicted Germans from Sudetenland but this was long
before WWII.

I do know many people who made errors in immigration records because Records in
Ellis Island listed the immigrants arriving before the fall of the Austria
Hungary monarchy, were listed as German, (Austrian), or Hungarian.  Our Slovak
ancestors were often , (at least), bi-lingual, (Slovak, Hungarian or German),
and very often tri-lingual, (All three).

In your message following this, are you referring to the Reformation and

http://hungarianvillagefinder.com/HVFIndex2/62_ZEMPLEN.html  This is the list of
the names of the villages in Zemplen County (Zemplinsky) Hungary. None of the

“Nut.” The “N” does look like it begins the same as the “M” in Maj,
but lack the second stroke. So I can see where you saw the “N”. A

Where is he located in the 1910 Census. I used Ancestry.com and there were not

This is my deceased husband's grandfather. There are no living relatives
available to ask where exactly they came from but I have found some information
on his WW1 Draft Registration.

Please view this at my web page: http://www.breny.com/pics/ww1_1.jpg

It looks like Nutsnois Zenplinski, Austria to me. On the 1910 US Census he is
living with a lot of families that all say they are from Austria and they
actually have Russian as the language they speak. The last name is currently
Miklish, but I've seen lots of variations on that such as Micklish, Miklus,
Micklos, Miklos. Peter was born in 1892 and the earliest I find him in the US is
the 1910 Census with his parents and siblings.

I'm trying to research this for my daughter.

Any help is apprecated.

Well I can safely state that the Ozman (Ottoman) advance, Rakozi, Thokoly
and Thurzo, all promoted Evangelical over Catholic. The Ottomans were
anti-Catholic and strongly promoted Lutheranism. The effect of this was
that churches once Catholic - turned Lutheran overnight, then back to
Catholic, also overnight in Hapsburg controlled areas.
I too am looking for Lutheran records, particularly of the Galanta district
which reverted back to Catholicism. I do have Balskovics Jozsef's "Az
Ujvari Ejalet Torok Adoosszeirasai" - Pozsony 1993 Erdem ('The Ujvari
Eyalet Turkish Tax Collections' ~ Hungarian only) which looks at the
Ottoman defters for Ersekujvar and (partially) Estergom vyalets, detailing
names and places throughout the region. The issue he found was that the
Ottomans transcribed names into Arabic script phonetically and so not
directly translatable back to Magyar. Consequently he spent a decade or so
sounding out names from the defters in Arabic and tried to find Magyar and
Slav cognomens. He assembled around 20,000 names with cognomen locations of
the period.
This is also complicated by the fact that when the tax collectors came,
many hid in forests to avoid the defters, so we are not talking about 100%
participation.
Genealogically, the records mentions relationships - eg father to son,
brother etc, but as the tax collectors had little idea of the naming
conventions, a lot of confusion arose as they confused work names, places
and vezetek names (surnames). Many of these names stuck. The nobility and
possibly some clergy evacuated into safehaven Hapsberg controlled towns.
Another aspect to consider is that none of this is on a database of any
sort.
Very few academic studies have been made using defters as a historic
resource. Contact Gabor Agoston for further information on this (Georgetown
University - I'll forward his email if you are interested).

So prior to the mid 1700's many church records were 'lost' - but I am
hopeful that they are around somewhere, maybe in Lutheran archives. I am
furious that records after the Turks were thrown out, between 1700 and 1770
have also 'disappeared'. Why?

I am guessing that he was Greek Catholic. [Russion] was probably Rusyn.

Cisarik gives a single clue for Miklic in Zemplen Megye = country and that is in

Somehow, we need to figure out the village name in Zemplen Megye. I know that we

Ron said "try to keep it as close to genealogical as possible. There are
many controversial stories to be learned above, and this is NOT the forum
to hash these out!"

This IS a genealogic forum and the Benes Decree is vital! It may be a taboo
subject here, but it's importance for later genealogical work is very
significant. We tend not to discuss this and almost ignoring those
of Slovak/Rusyn/Bohemian/Moravian/German/Ukrainian and Galacian ancestry
(hundreds of thousands) who are now fully assimilated in Hungarian ethnic
towns and villages along the southern strip. Millions of people were
displaced throughout the whole of Czechoslovakia because of the Benes
decree.

2011 - the darker the green the more 'ethnic' Hungarians:
http://www.foruminst.sk/images/album/129/2-392-33729-129-orig.jpg That is a
significant slab of Slovakia where the ethnic border does not match the
political one. A map of German displacement would be extremely valuable.

I understand fully that political discussions are verboten, but sooner or
later those Benes Decree lists will become (some are already) public
domain. The ones I've seen show which families were forced to move.
Documentary evidence is being collected as we speak showing adoption of
Czechoslovak citizenship, travelling papers, resettlement addresses and
other vital information. Being 2012, the parents of those who were evicted
are passing on, so this knowledge becomes vital. Even some Slovaks were
deported!
Here's a memorial plaque of those families that were displaced by the Benes
Decree:
http://www.foruminst.sk/en/66/visual_bilingualism/0/research_on_usage_of_hungari\
an_language_in_southern_slovakia/1/5210/deportees_memorial_plaque
(note that previous 'face on' images of this were removed by the website to
protect the identities of those listed)

And it's not just Slovakia, but significant Hungarian, Serbian and Romanian
displacements as well, all authorized and carried out by their respective
post WW2 governments.
In fact it is impossible to do later - post WW1 and WW2 genealogical work
without mentioning (non-jewish) genocide, atrocities and other forms of
cleansing in some of these places. Millions were displaced or killed
including ethnic Slovaks and Rusyns - and as further academic research
continues past the 50 year moratorium, more of this will come to light.

I agree that we should concentrate on genealogy, but referral to the above
events should not be dismissed out of hand as a cause for death and
displacement.

This is my deceased husband's grandfather. There are no living relatives
available to ask where exactly they came from but I have found some information
on his WW1 Draft Registration.

Please view this at my web page: http://www.breny.com/pics/ww1_1.jpg

It looks like Nutsnois Zenplinski, Austria to me. On the 1910 US Census he is
living with a lot of families that all say they are from Austria and they
actually have Russian as the language they speak. The last name is currently
Miklish, but I've seen lots of variations on that such as Micklish, Miklus,
Micklos, Miklos. Peter was born in 1892 and the earliest I find him in the US is
the 1910 Census with his parents and siblings.

I'm trying to research this for my daughter.

Any help is apprecated.

Brenda

Peter,

Well said!  Any events that caused people to change their economic, political or
religious status, change their place of residence, or that resulted in their
imprisonment or death are very significant from a genealogical point of view. 
Additionally the reasons for such events often impact what records we seek and
where we seek them, and are therefore also of genealogical importance.  Ignoring
such events and their causes only handicaps our research, and discussions about
them definitely belong in this forum!

Joanne,

How certain are you of the dates you gave?

There are no Greek Catholic records for Zborov or Dubovica, so would have to
have been recorded in Roman Catholic records.

But in the R. Catholic-Bardejov-Zborov records there is no Josef Rubacky
recorded as born 19 Jul 1868, or in all of 1868.  In R.
Catholic-Sabinov-Dubavica records there is no Anna Superka recorded as born 26
Jul 1880, or in all of 1880.

Using the name search for Josef Rubacky, there are hits for Zborov, some even
with mother's name Maria Matusovits, but none for your date.  I think the
closest date was in 1872.

Brenda,

  We may need to look more closely at more recent records if we can't determine
what town that is on his draft registration.
  I'm assuming the census records are in the same general area of W. PA?  I can
find a couple death references of different Theodore MIKLISHs...but what was the
spelling and locations for the previous generations?

TOM

The ending of the town's name is ~ocs and not ois. The accent that looks
like the dot over the i should be over the o.
