Researching: LIBA, POKLONA, GULYAS, HORVATH
I am searching for ancestors in Prakovce and Helcmanovce, Levoca County, Slovakia. Names are Nicolas and Anna (Poklona) Liba, married sometime around 1853 and 1855. Their first child was born on June 6, 1855 in Prakendorf #67, Hungary, now Slovakia and christened in Greek Catholic Church in Helcmanovce. Helcmanovce did not have marriage record of Nicolas and Anna, so they must have been married in some nearby village, perhaps Anna's church. Nicolas died August 20, 1890 at age 70 in Prakfalva #13 and buried there. I would like more information, like what cemetery Nicolas was buried at, name of the church, date of marriage and date of Anna's death. Nicolas perhaps was married three times, first to Anna Poklona, second to Anna Gulyas and the third time to Katrina Horvath. He was married to Katrina at time of this death. Any help would be appreciated.
