Researching: ADLER, HOFFMAN, WERNER
To all the researchers out there. I am desperately searching for more information and the existence of any relatives. My mother's name was Hanna Werner, born August 21, 1927/28 in Prague Czechoslovakia. Her father and mother were; Otto, born 28 April 1892, and Ester Werner, born Adler in Lodz, Poland 16 December 1904. Their last address was; Praha 1 Benediktska 2. The Grandparents and siblings of Ester Werner, nee Adler, were; Gerson Adler, born 11 May 1877 born in the Zdunska, Wola province of Lodz, Poland. His wife's name was Nach/Natalia Adler, born in Lodz, Poland 4 January or 23 December 1876 and their daughter Anna Adler, born on the 4 February or 3 December 1911, Lodz, Poland. I have very little information on my gr gr grandmother Natalie and her daughter Anna Adler. The son, Mosek Sljama (Moritz?) Adler, was born on the 22. March 1903 (Brezna). They lived not in Prague, but in Slany near Kladno. Natalia, Anna, and Mosek Sljama. Their last known address was; Praha XIV, Na zahonech 16. There was also an Ida Adler born 14 January 1909. She married in approximately 1930 a Jindrich Hoffman, born 25 September 1905. I believe they immigrated to Palestine and were the people who cared for my mother between the years of 1939 and 1947.

The last name supposedly came from the village where they were born, Husarikova or Husarikovci. My grandparent's last residence before coming to America was in Cadca (Csacza, Hungary) I think that is now in Slovakia. Is there a town called Husarikova and was it named after Russian horseman? Did some of the villagers raise horses? Do you have any information about when Stefan died and who his parents and Eva's parents were. My grandfather, Cirill (Cyril) came from the same village.

My grandfather came from Austria\Prussia but my grandmother came from Poland. But my question is, where to start looking for our name, which is our history? I know these facts are very important to me and my relatives. But if you can help us, we'll thank you. Could you help us. I'd like to learn much more about my family and my history - when and where to start, because here in Brazil, no one knows about that reall history because our grandfather died a long time ago. If you have any information about this name please make a contact us in Brazil. One day if I could help you, I'll do the same for you if you want. I'll be your new friend when you write me. Bye, thanks a lot. Visit the Ancestry.com Duleba Family Facts Database.

Researching: DULYA, KOPCSAK, PAVLIK, SZEDLAK
My great grandfather John Kopscak Pavlik was born in the late 1850s presumably in Sambron, Slovakia at #9 since there have been Pavliks living at that address back into the late 1700s. He was married to Maria Szedlak around 1875 and fathered Peter 1874, Catharina 1876, and John or Jan on February 14, 1881. John's first wife Katarina died in the 1890s and he remarried Maria Dulya and fathered two more children, Anna and Stephen and later died in Sambron in the mid-twentieth century. John apparently shared the same residence with his brother Stephen who was married to Anna Kopcsak; they had at least 2 children, Maria and Stephen, Jr. His son, John, immigrated to Bridgeport, CT presumably December 20, 1898 on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Gross which left from Bremen, Germany. He was sponsored by a Slovak or Russian owner of a tool manufacturing firm in Bridgeport. His sister Catharina later emmigrated to Flint, Michigan. In 1901, according to Ellis Island records, a Maria (25), Anna (16), Maria (16), Maria (3) and Peter (9 mos) all Kopcsaks, immigrated to the US on the Barbarossa which left Bremen in June of 1901. Around 1910 my grandfather, John Pavlik, married Anna Kochis in Bridgeport, CT. He claimed that Anna was from the same village of Sambron. There are no records at Ellis Island for any Kochis family from Slovakia coming here during that time period so I am wondering if Anna Kochis was really Anna Kopcsak.

Majtanyi name, ancestral village Majtanyi (northern Hungary) now Slovakia since 1918. I too am looking for our ancestral home of Majtan, Hungary (Slovakia now). My mother's grandmother was Countess Regina Majtanyi married to Count Juan de Mattos (of Spanish descent). Countess Regina Majtanyi was the daughter of Count Janos Majtanyi and Countess Ilonka Csontra. My mother, who was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1926 has given me this information. Six Majtanyi women were born between 1840 and 1860 of the union of Count Janos Majtanyi and Countess Ilonka Csontra. There were no male heirs thus the line died out. Regina - had 4 children Janka, Janos, Jozef, and Berta (Mattos), Victoria, Luiza, Emma, Janka, Margit. Regina's daughter, Janka (Johanna) was my mother's mother. Johanna de Mattos married Oliver Marosan in the 1880s. And my mother was their only child, Victoria Marosan. Mother came to American in 1944, at age 17, a displaced person. Who survived a labor camp in Germany. The whole family lost in the war and their ancestral home in Majtanyi destroyed. It is not certain, but the Majtanyi family originated in Northern Hungary which in 1918 became Slovakia near the Carpathian mountains. Am trying to find maybe relatives of Count Janos Majtanyi - hoping he had brothers or uncles etc. who had descendants. Any information you have would be ever so welcome.
