Researching: LASLOW, SMEGA, VARGA, ZBILUT, JARCENSY, PASTOR, DAVID
I would love to know more of my Slavic heritage and perhaps contact relatives in the old country-life there was not discussed often. There was an mini Slavic community in Madison, Maine and we have several more names to add to the list with research. My grandparents came from Czechoslovakia and were very insistent that we were Slovak not Czech. The following information is from the obituaries of my grandmother and her cousin. My grandmother: Mary V. Laslow was born in Czechoslovakia Feb 17, 1880, the daughter of Joseph and Mary Smega Varga. She married Zbilut (surname???) Laslow in 1899, coming to the US in 1905, living first in W. Virginia and moving to Madison, Maine. Her cousin: Julia D. Jarcensy was born dec. 30, 1877 in Austria, the daughter of Joseph and Ann (Pastor) David. She married Julius Jarcensy in Czec. Feb 6, 1899. I have several documents in my possession belonging to the Jarcensy's from the old country which were stored in a cloth bag with a picture of a ship and a name of F.Missler Bremen.

Researching: STEPANOVA
I am looking for information concerning our family history. Our last remaining relative in Slovakia [that I know of] is Anna Stephanova. She lives in Trhovista [I am sorry, but I do not have the spellings for any of these in front of me] and was never married. I have been fortunate enough to have visited twice but due to the language barrier I have not found much information on our family history. I do know that our family worked for the Count of Stamterry [phonetic spelling] and that his mansion is in nearby Michalovce. I canvassed the grave yard while there but did not uncover any names -- although Anna indicated that there were a number of family members that were buried there. I did see some gravesites in Trhovista. I think the majority of the immediate family came over in the early 1900's and eventually settled in Pennsylvania. Any and all help that you can give me is appreciated! And, of course, notify me if I can be of any help -- I really do not know how this system works.
