Researching: OLES, KURAN, PATEK, DULK, HRKEL, SALKA, FUKAS, STOBER
Seeking information on the Oles surname. My grandmother, Maria Oles Kuran, came to the United States in 1905 from Cimhova, the Slovak Republic with her sister, Veronika. Veronika married Martin Patek and they returned to Cimhova/Liesek where they had a son Martin who had a daughter Maria Dulk. A brother Matej remained in the Slovak Republic and during the war (1914-1918) was captured by the Russian Army. He had a son Stefan who had three children, Vlado, Jan and Stefan. In 1923 he went to Canada where he worked in the forests for about 10 years. Another Oles sister, Anna, also remained in the Slovak Republic and she married a man whose last name was Hrkel and they had two sons named Jozef and Jan. The fourth Oles sister, Rozalia remained in the Slovak Republic where she married Jozef Salka. They had three children, Ludovit now in California, and Irena Fukas and Margita Stober, both in the Slovak Republic. My grandparents, Michael Kuran and Maria Oles, remained in Fayette and Greene Counties, PA till their deaths in 1947 and 1955, respectively. Are any of these people in your family tree?
