Grandfather immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1902 and worked in a coal mine and saved to bring Dora, and sons over about 1910. We are fairly certain they came from Detva or Zvolen area of Slovakia. Soon after 1910 they came to Ilasco, Missouri where a large cement plant was being built. Grandfather was killed in Jan.-1924 in a plant accident. He was about 50 yrs. old at the time of his death. Dora died in 1943.All burried at Catholic cemetary here in Hannibal, Missouri. Dora had one daughter named Anna Rozena Tusim, who married Joseph Hustava. They first went to St. Louis, Missouri and worked in a meat packing plant and later came to Ilasco, Missouri too , and worked in the cement plant.,Another Daughter9possibly Pauline, married a man named Lalick. He came tom Ilasco, but we do not know if Pauline did or not, if so, she went back home. Andy Lalick is burried here. We believe there are still distant relatives in Slovakia who are related and could help us piece toggether our family history.Martin Golian was my husbands father.

Researching: GAYDOS, GAJDOS, HOVANEC, CHOVANEC
I'm looking for more information on my maternal grandparents, Joseph Gaydos (may have been Gajdos) and Mary Hovanec (may have been Chovanec). I believe that Mary came from the village of Mlynarovce in Presov and he came from the nearby village of Duplin. They were married before they came to America, sold their farm, he came through Ellis Island in the early 1900's (pre-1908), she came 1 year later, and settled in Chicago. Joseph supposedly had several brothers and at least one immigrated to America around the same time - I don't know the brother's name. The brothers apparently had a feud and did not speak with each other. I believe I have relatives of Gaydos in the Cleveland area who may be Joseph's brother's family.
