Since the 1912 listing for Regeteruszka (H) formerly in Abaúj-Torna
megye, Hungary; later Ruskov, okres (district) Kos^ice-Vidiek,
Slovakia was correct I looked at the 1913 entry.

The 1913 Hungary Gazetteer had listed only Regeteruszka.

German ship were notorious for misspelled surnames and place names.
While researching one surname over the years in the EIR found the
Last Residence listed under 13 different spellings.
All for the same place name and spelled correctly under a
14th spelling (Hungarian)

  # 10 Erzsebet Kazsimir, age 22, married, Slovak   Regchernszka ?
  # 11 János Kazsimir, age 3, Slovak  Regchernszka ?

I am new to the group.
     My Slovak ancestors are Julianna SAKSA & Stefan
LEDVAK.  They are my great-grandparents.  Both immigrated
in the 1880's and settled first in Bridgeport CT where
they met & married.  Julianna was a mere 16.  They had 8
children, most were born in Connecticut but the last 1 or
2 were born in Scranton PA, where Stefan worked as a
cabinet maker for a compnay that made piano's.
     I believe Stefan's parents were John LEDVAK and
Rozalia KOVALY they are from Brezovica and/or Torysa.

     Stefan had a brother, Andrew, who also immigrated and
his wife was Catherine WESFARI.  I do not know if they
had children.  And I beleive a sister named Anna or
Frances Anna.
     Julianna or Julia is a bit of a mystery, she told
stories when I was younger that led the family to believe
that she was from Bratislava but we are unable to confirm
this and I need direction on how to do this.
      I also need direction on how to write and whom to
address such a leeter to, in the Brezovica area to find
out more information on my ancestors.
     In searching on the internet I have come across only
2 "LEDVAK" names, one gentleman - Jozef is apparently a
guide or an official with the international blind skiers
association and the latest named Radovan has some
connection with Kosice but since I do not read the Slovak
language I am at a total loss as to just what I was
looking at.
     Can anyone offer information or suggestions on how to
proceed?

Hi, Marilyn.  The place to begin is with the town or village of origin and
the religious affiliation.  Have you checked death records?  They will often
identify the place of birth, even if misspelled.

Are you at all familiar with the Family History Library, our mainstay in
this endeavor?  :-)

There are two Brezovica located in Slovakia, one in western
Slovakia and one in eastern Slovakia.

Before WW I, Slovakia was part of Upper Hungary (Felvidék) and
part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867-1918) and earlier  a
part of Hungary under the Austrian Empire.
Hungarian names were used for towns and counties.

Torysa (Sk) Tarca (H) suggests eastern Slovakia near Pres^ov.

The LDS-Mormons filmed the R.C. parish registers of births, marriages
and deaths (1838-1895) for Brezovice nad Torysou, Slovakia; formerly
Berzevicze, Sáros megye (county), Hungary and surrounding villages.
Text in Latin and Hungarian.

The Slovakia telephone directory lists 1 surname Ledvák and

Today, I doubt one can make a living in a Slovakia village like Brezovica. =

Looks like the right region.

Hey Group:

Just curious, got a copy of my gram's marriage license
which lists her as being born (1902) in Austria, which
was news to me.  I suppose it's possible that in 1902
some of Slovakia was in Austria.  Also, her mother's
maiden name was Trenfar -- anyone ever hear that name
before?  Nothing on the Ellis Island database for that
spelling.  Thanks!

Marilyn,

Brezovica is listed in the LDS records as Brezovice nad Torysou. The village
is just west of Lipany on the Torysa River. The LDS film numbers for
Brezovica are: 1792031, 1792032 and 1792033. Most of the information filmed
covers the years between about 1850 and 1900. Check out the LDS website for
specific dates for each film. The film text is Latin and Hungarian. You could
probably find the Torysa listings also at the LDS website. Torysa is just up
river from Brezovica.

As far as finding birthplaces for your great-grandparents, there is a
possibility it was listed in the Bridgeport birth records. At certain times
in the early 1900s they put down actual town names for the parents. So if you
are lucky, yours might be one of these records. Also the names were
misspelled quite often and finding entries for different children helps to
figure out which town they were trying to spell.

Good Luck,

D. Taylor

Frank,

Thanks for your help.  I do have a couple of questions.  I couldn't find
Velka Sucha on a current map.  Does it still exist today?  Didn't they keep
records after 1878 or were they destroyed somehow?  Also from what you are
saying these records are only in the Bratislava Archives not also at the
regional Banska Bystrica Archives like I was told?  At the conference I just
attend one of the speakers was there from the Presov Archives and another
from the LDS church.  They both thought that area was in Gemer county and
was covered by the Banka Bystrica Regional Archives.  The speaker from the
LDS church insisted that area had been filmed even though I told him I
couldn't find records listed under any town in that area.  I was curious if
that area isn't available on microfilm will it be eventually or has the
Slovak government stopped the LDS church from filming anymore?  At one time
I was told that one of the regional archives had been filmed, but wasn't
available yet.  The other regional archives were available and the main
archives in Bratislava wasn't filmed yet.  I wasn't sure if this was still
true.  If these records won't be available on microfilm soon that I will
write to the archives.  I was also curious about other types of records that
may be available at the archives besides church records.  I wasn't sure if
orphanages over there were run by the state or if they were privately owned.


Thanks for your help,
Marlene

The LDS-Mormons filmed the parish church records (baptisms,
marriages, and deaths) at 6 of the 7 regional Slovak State
Archives.
They haven't filmed at the Bratislava Archives as yet.
The Slovak Archives wouldn't have orphanage records.
The 7 Slovak State Archives are not the same as the 35 okres (district) arc=
hives.

The R.C. parish church records (1716-1878) for Hrnc^iarske
Zaluz^any are listed under Vel'ká Suchá.
Note these records ended in 1878.
Civil registration didn't begin in Hungary until 1895.
The LDS doesn't appear to have filmed these records but they
should be at the regional Slovak State Archives.

The 35 local county archives (okresene archivy) has many materials

And the uncatalogued material are not available.

Velká Suchá  is a small settlement located just below
Hrnc^iarska Ves and east of Poltár.
Records exist for Poltár but these haven't been filmed by LDS
as yet.

For various reasons parish church records have different
year endings.

During 1950-1951, the Communist government of Czechoslovakia had
all the parish churches send their old matriky (pre-1895 church
records) to the regional State Archives for safekeeping .
This was done through local national committees after the church
registers were declared state property by the government.

Some parish churches kept duplicate copies of the records.
Druhopisy (i.e. second writing) was a duplicate copy  known as the
'bishop's copy'. So a duplicate of the original record may have been
sent elsewhere.
Some years have both parish records and "bishop's copies". Other years
have only "bishop's copies", others only the parish registers. That can
explain why a record may not be available at the parish but still be
available elsewhere.
>From 1828, the parish was obliged to make a copy of entries and
send them to archives, so some records are preserved in duplicate.

The LDS-Mormons has filmed all the parish church records at six
of the seven regional Slovak State Archives in Slovakia.

I waited 5 years for the LDS microfilms from the Bytc^a Archives.
After filming the microfilms are sent to Germany for quality control
check and only after passing inspection are they sent to FHL in SLC.
Only then are they availble for possible distribution to a local LDS
FHC.

The LDS just finished filming in Bytc^a and now will be filming the
records at the last Slovak Archives - Bratislava.

The LDS is still filming in Slovakia.
The Slovak Archives have only parish church records of the various
religious denominations.

There is a 1983 inventory of church records in the state archives in
Banská Bystrica, Slovakia; formerly Beszterczebánya, Zólyom megye,
Hungary.
Text in Slovak.
It is now 2001, 18 years after this fact, and LDS is still filming records.=

After looking at the 1913 ship manifest for mother and child Kazsimir,
I believe the address in the U.S. was Daisytown PA.
Daisytown was located near Brownsville PA, a bituminous (soft) coal
mining region near Pittsburgh in WS PA.
Were any surnames coal miners ?

Thanks for your help.  That information cleared up some questions I have
had.  I was looking through old e-mail from this list that I have saved and
I am amazed at the information you have Slovakia.

Thanks again,
Marlene

I just got a letter from Slovakia! Unfortunately, I only speak a few words of
Slovak. This letter is in response to letters I sent out to Vrabels in the
Slovak Phone directory. I know it contains a lot of names and dates, and it
talks about people in the right age bracket, but I can't really understand it.
If someone wishes to help, i would appreciate a note off list, as I am eager to
get any information I can about my family overseas.

Thank You,
Jomil Vrabel-Mulvey

Hello! I am new to this group. My name is Nicole, and I am a 20 year-
old college student.  I am currently studying in the UK for a year.
In the spring I plan on travelling to the old country, and I would
like to see if I have any family over there.  Here is what I know:
My family (great-great grandparents, I think) came to America around
the turn of the century from a small town near Brataslava.  Many
people from this town apparently came over at the same time and
settled in the same area in Upstate New York. Not too many of the
older Slovak people speak the language now-a-days, and most of my
older relatives have passed away or I am not in close contact with.
I know there must be many more Subiks left in Slovakia (possibly
Czech Rep. as well), and I would like to at least find out where they
live, or where they are concentrated.  Does anyone know if I can
access any kind of White pages on the internet that are not in
Slovak?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Anyone know where to get a map of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire
(pre-1918)?

   Nicole,

The following link has instructions for the online
white pages and a link to it.

I think you have to enter a city however along with
the name to get responses.

Folks, if you need to unsubscribe for -whatever- reason, follow the
directions given many, many times on here, and in your welcome
message, and on the group's homepage......

Sending commands/requests to the list does nothing but aggravate
everyone.

The person who sent in those multiple commands has been removed and
banned from the list. I am positive people who can operate a computer
can follow simple directions for unsubscribing.

Hello,

	 My grandmother, Anna Krofchick Hanich, was born in Hanigovce, Saris,
Slovakia in 1894 when it was part of Hungary. It is very near Sabinov, so
you may have knowledge about geneology in the region.  I have tried to
find information about her and her family, without success.  She died
before I was born, and my father is the youngest of her children and
knows very little about Europe or her family.  I know that she immigrated
around 1910, and lived for a few years in Perth Amboy, NJ, where she got
married to my grandfather, Frank Hanich, apparently from somewhere in
Zemplen.  They moved to Aliquippa, PA and raised their family there. My
grandfather died about 1940, when my father was about 12 years old, so he
remembers very little about him.
	 Sorry  this is probably boring, but with differences in names,
countries, transliterated spellings , etc,etc, I am having a terrible
time finding out anything.  Can you help?

Thanks,

	 David Hanich

Don't know your surnames.
Probably 120-180 surname Hanich bearers just in the U.S.

The surname could be spelled Hanich, Hanic, Hanik.

Hanich is a German surname from Germany and the former
Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

Before WW I, Slovakia was part of Upper Hungary (Felvidék) and
part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867-1918) and earlier  a
part of Hungary under the Austrian Empire.

Hanigovce (Sk) Hönig (H) is located in the Pres^ov region
in eastern Slovakia.

The LDS-Mormons filmed the R.C. parish registers of baptisms,
marriages, deaths, confirmations, and a list of priests
(1699-1895)for Hanigovce, Slovakia; formerly  Hönig, Sáros megye, Hungary.
Listed under Pec^ovska Nová Ves (Sabinov), Slovakia; formerly Péchujfalu, S=
áros,
Hungary (also known as Pechinendorf or Pechy Neudorf).
