The Hoza Family
Jim Jones at JimADD@aol.com informed me
that the Hoza/Hozza name is very
prominent in the parish records from the Spis Area of Slovakia 15 miles
southeast of Spisska Nova Ves (Matejovce or Mathejocz). My father
remembered from his childhood in Farrell, Pennsylvania, United States the village
or area called Spisska Zupa, the village where my relatives come from.
I have attached a registry of my relatives in Slovakia prior to the
arrival of my grandfather, Joseph Steve Hoza, from Slovakia, to the
United States. I love my Slovakian heritage and look forward to meeting
my family in Slovakia.
