Researching: STOFKA, KOVALCIN
My grandfather, Mathias Stofka came to America in May of 1886 from Mala Vieska, Saros County, and settled in Plymouth, Pennsylvania. My grandmother, Mary Kovalcin came to America in 1902 from Raslavice, Saros County. Would appreciate hearing from anyone doing similar surname research.

Researching: CEKA, CSIBA, CJYBA, TCHIBA, CHIBA
Looking for relations for expanding the existing family tree currently holding 967 names. The current search concentrates on the Nitra (Nyitra) and Kosice (Kassa) regions. Would be most grateful for any information, as most data on hand come from western Slovakia viz Samorin (Somorja), Mliecno (Tejfalu) and Dunajska Streda (Duna-szerda-hely). Our family settled around 1100 AD by a Moravian soldier named Ceka in Fel-Abony (later destroyed then Nagy-Abony came into existence). Any info. concerning that branch will be equally appreciated. Also desperately searching all five continents for expatriate members of the family. Many of members of the family use various spelling of the name, mainly Csiba but also such as Chyba, Tchiba, Chiba (watch out for the Japanese with the last one, it's a minefield!). We live in Melbourne, Australia. Communication in English or Hungarian please as my Slovak is very fractured.

Researching: BURAK, VELOSIN, WELOSIN
My grandfather came through Ellis Island on 4 December 1912. His name was Lasslo Burak (He went by Charles in America). He travelled through the port of Hamburg, Germany on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria on 21 November 1912. His village in Slovakia was Strabicova and he was born on 13 September 1893. His wife Helen Velosin (Welosin?) travelled to America under her sister's name of Barbara. She arrived at Ellis Island around the close of WWI (my best guess is 1915-1919). She also departed from the port of Hamburg, Germany. I believe her village of origin was either Chibowitz, Ukraine (my source is not sure) or Csopuvc, Slovakia. She was born on 28 February 1905. I am in search of surviving relatives. As far as I know, my grandparents were the only family members to immigrate to America. If you can forward any pertinent information, I would be greatly indebted.

It is reported that Mary Homaa died and George remarried and had more children. Michael's obituary states that two brothers, John and Andrew from Stockton Pennsylvania, attended his funeral in 1946.

I am interested in all information of people with the names Keblovszki, Keblovszky, Kenlocszkij- all names starting with Keblov...! Three sons of Joannes left Denmark and immigrated to USA. It was Josef Heinrich Keblovski born 1887 and he died in Pueblo, Colorado in 1958. The other was George Stanislav Ansgar Keblovszki born 1899 and the third was Clemens Innatius Keblovszki born 1902.

Researching: PETRUSHUN, PETRYSHYN
Hi! My grandfather's last name is Petrushun, but claims it had been changed from Petryshyn, the actual spelling. The name is Ukranian, and I was wondering if I have relatives that we are not aware of, either here or in Europe. Part of the family tree is a mystery; when my great-grandmother told her husband she was pregnant (with my grandfather), he jumped out the first-floor window and was never heard from or seen again. My great-grandmother retained the last name for seven years, the time which it took to declare her husband legally dead. So the name has been passed on, although the history of the family has not. So I have been curious as to what happened to that man who jumped out the window, my great-grandfather. Did he have kids with someone else, producing current relatives? I doubt he is alive now; my grandmother was 97 when she died two years ago. Or are there relatives of mine in Europe? Thank you.
