My name is Mark Szep and I am researching the surname Szep. My great grandfather was
Kalman Szep and he was born in Zemianske Kostolany, Nyitra, Austria-Hungary. Today
this town is located in Slovakia near the city of Nyitra. Kalman left Slovokia in 1905 and
came to the U.S. He left behind his mother Josephine, a brother Zigmund, and
a couple of sisters. One sister was named Marienka and married a man with the name
Rejmanova. Another sister married a Kmet. She had several children including Jozef,
Anna, and Julius. My great aunt Josephine Nowicki was in contact with Jozef Kmet. He
sent her a letter in 1976. At that time he was 72 and living in Lipt. Mattiasovce, Slovakia.
Kalman also had cousins with the name Kontsek or Koncek who were from the town of
Kostany, Slovokia. Apparently, one of his cousins owned a saloon or a hotel in Kostany.
During his lifetime, Kalman kept in contact with these family members. Unfortunately,
after his death, contact was lost. Any information regarding these families would be

Researching: DLUZANSKI, DLUZANSKIY, ROSKOVENSKY
I am interested in finding my roots. My father and grandfather's name is Dluzanski(or y).
They were from Kosice in Zemplin County. My mother's name and her father's name is
Roskovensky. They were from a town to the north of Kosice called Velky Folkmar or
something like that. I am a second generation American and would like to learn my
homeland's culture, language and traditions, so that when I come to visit, perhaps later this
year, I can fully appreciate the experience.

Researching: GLUTA, GOODICK, KOKANIE, KOLONY, KORPAN
Looking for any information on relatives, living conditions and reasons for emigration for
the following people, all my great-grandparents: Samuel Gluta, 1884-1949, born in
Bochiw, went by the name Goodick in Canada; Rosie Kokanie, 1892-1966, born in
Poland, then known as Galicia. I do not know the year they immigrated to Canada, but I
believe it to be around the turn of the century. Also researching Paul Kolony, born July
12, 1880 in Galicia and Mary Kolony, maiden name Korpan, born June 23, 1890. Again,
it is not known when they immigrated to Canada. Many thanks if anyone can help me with
any information, specific or general to that time period, what kinds of things were going
on, living conditions, etc.

Researching: GAZDA, SABOLIK
I am researching my grandfather Andrew Gazda and his parents and
siblings. He was born in Kalnis ? spelling NE Slovakia on Aug 4, 1864.
He was Roman Catholic. Somehow he got Streator, Illinois. He was a
coal miner all his life. In Streator he married Susan Sabolik. This must have been about 1890.
They returned to the old country for a short time for health reasons. It
is believed they were in Kaschaw Austria Hungary now Kosice, Slovakia.
They moved to Thayer, Illinois around 1905 where he was a coal miner.
It is believed he had at least one brother who may have lived in Iowa
and who had asthma. He had four sons who lived into adulthood, John,
Andrew,Tom, and Steve. My dad Tom was born in 1904 and I was born in
Thayer in 1928. For a short time the family lived near Phillips Wis. est
1917. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Researching: STRAKA, MALIK
I live in Westminster, Maryland, USA. I am
assuming that the final determination as to wether a person is Slovak vs
Czech would be the place of birth. I'm just starting to research the family
tree and I know my grandfather came over as a young man. Both of my
grandparents are now deceased so I don not have a lot of information. I do
have half of a church document of some sort her is the information that I
can read off of the document. Maybe someone out there can be of assistance.
Dioecesi: Kosickom 26 DEC 1947 My grandfathers name was: Stephan Straka.
His father was: Andrew Straka His Mother: Mary Malik. Locus domicilii:
Yakubovia my c.d. 26. Patrinorum nomen et conditio: Lisak Lstefan rolnik,
rim.kat Ondko Alzbesa rim.kad Baptizantis nomen et off: Leglasi Zozef kaplan
I apologize but I do not read or write Latin or Slovak.
There is a Seal at the bottom of the document At the top of the document on
the right Half(the only side I have) it reads uradu v Sabinovo
males-Krstny list. esiae paroecialis Rom Cath. in Labinove
-kat. farskeho chramu v us Labinov et in diocese Kosickom
26 December Any help would definitely be appreciated. I understand his father was one
of 10 brothers and they were farmers. On one piece of paper I found the
following information appears: Rimsko Katolicuy Farsky Urad
Sabinovo okr. Kosice Czechoslovakia Rodny List Birth Certificate.
