Researching: CLEMENS
I'm trying to trace the origin of these names. On the 1920 Indiana Census, they said that they came from Hungary. Rumor is that maybe they came from Humenne, Slovakia or Czechoslovakia by Kosice. How can I find out?

Researching: BJES, BEJES, SADLON
My grandfather, Paul Bjes, was born in Kostelne, Nitra on 06 March 1892 and came to America through Ellis Island in the easrly 1900's. The surname was changed to Bejes because immigration officials thought it would be easier to pronounce. He settled in Chicago on South Francisco street and in the 1930's moved to Knoz, Indiana, where he died in 1982. My grandmother, Anna Sadon was born in Stara Tura, Niyra, on 15 May 1891. She and her sister, Katherine, came to America around 1907. There were nine other children in the family and none of them came to America as far as we know. She married Paul Bejes on 13 January 1917 and they had 5 children. She passed away in 1959.

I am trying to locate any possible relatives from the old Austia-Hungary area. My greatgrandfather was John(Joannes) Paranich. I believe he was born in 1879 and lved in the city volykoer in saros. he the came to America in 1894 or 1895. My greatgrandmother was the former Susanna Bartko. She was born in 1882 and I think lived in Dubin????? She then came to America in 1902 to lve with an aunt. She then married John Paranich (Paranac) I think that same year. They resided in Japan-Jeddo (near Hazleton, Pa) for a while and then moved to Oakdale where they lived until they both passed on in 1959. I think Susan Had a brother John who lived in Drifton at the time. And I am told that John Had one or two sisters living somewhere in the NY area.
