The only location outside the USA which I can identify where ancestors have lived is Slovakia and all whom I know of, so far as I know, were born and lived in Cervenica, in Vychodoslovensky (East Slovakia) in the region where the regional capital is Kosice. My grandmother Alzbeta Kosztkas (Elizabeth Kostkas) was born there 17 March 1895, sister Anna 16 July 1892. Elizabeth married George Matty (Dura Matej), born 24-Jun-1885 (location of birth unknown). (The marriage was in Grassflat, Pennsylvania. in 1911.) Sister Mary born 3-May-1903, may have been born in Slovakia or Pennsylvania. Date of immigration believed after 1895 and before 1910. Parents of Alzbeta were Ondrej Kosztkas (23 Augugust 1868-8 - Jan 1892, born & died in Cervenica) and Alzbeta Bugos (b. 3 December 1870 in Cervenica). Parents of Ondrej were Jan Kosztkas (b. 2/2 1859 in Cervenica) and Anna Antolik. Parents of Jan were Jan Kostkas & ? Roszkos. Paerents of Anna were Juraj Antolyik and Anna Gribar. Ondrej Kosztkas (Andrew Kostkas or Koskas) was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. and prior to that was said to have worked in an opal mine in Cervenica. Information from Slovakia confirms an opal mine in Cervenica. I would be interested in information on the ancestors/family of Dura Matej (George Matty) and his brother and father, both named Janko (John). He and his brother lived in Providence, R.I. before he moved to Grassflat, Pennsylvania. prob. before 1910. Also information on Cervenica, and travel there from Vienna.

They spoke Slovak/German. I was the first Scherhaufer born in the United States. My family members are the only Scherhaufers currently living in the United States. The villages of my ancestors were Sedin (Velke Ulany), Trstin (Nadas) , Trstena na Ostrove (Nadasd), Sered, and Bratisalva.

Researching: SKULETI, KRENN
It is believed my mother was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1905. Her father was Mihaly Skulteti, who died when she was about 2 years old, so she and her mother came to the U.S. in 1907/1908. Mihaly Skulteti was supposedly a hansom driver, and I have some papers from one of his employers recommending him for a job and saying he was a good worker and did well with the horses. My mother's mother/my grandmother was Anna Krenn Skulteti. It appears the Krenn family was from Oroszvar, Hungary, which I am told is now part of Czechlosovakia. I believe her father's name was Michael Krenn and from info received from deceased family members, he was married at least once and perhaps 3 times or more. May have died in his 90s. My mother's name was Anna Patricia Skulteti, and she died when I was 11 years of age. We have a picture that is supposed to be of him and he is in a military uniform with another man. I would like to know if there are any records of marriage, birth and death records on Mihaly Skulteti, Anna Krenn, and Anna Patricia Skulteti. It would also be nice to know if I have any Skulteti distant relatives still living in Hungary. My mother was an only child and some of the relatives' documents that I have show that they were baptized in St.Stephens Catholic Church....in Vienna, Austria....possible? I would be thrilled if anyone could find any kind of records of the Skulteti and Krenn families. Thank you!

I am also looking for the family of my grandmother Elizabetha Smoljak who was orphaned before coming to US. She came to us about 1902 and was married to Jan Jakub in Akron, Ohio in l909. She had one brother that I know of named John Smoljak who lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1948 when she died in a vehicle accident.

Researching: RESCHAK, RESZCZAK, NOVAK
Searching for my European roots. My grandfather Martin Joseph Reschak , spoke Slovak and verbally told me that he was born on 19 October 1875, to Joseph and Sophie, in the Fratre-Matre Mountains, in a small village called Neupurciuis, Austria-Hungarian Empire. Can someone help me locate this village? He spent his childhood in Nisny Lapse, Austria-Hungary (currently within Polish borders), about 10 miles south east of Nowy Targ, Poland. He emigrated from Bremen, Germany arriving in New York on September 15, 1893. He married Mary Agnes Novak, in Pittston, PA, in 1900. Mary Novak came from Nowy Targ, Poland in 1900. All official U.S. papers (Immigration, Naturalization, Census, Marriage/Death Certificates, Social Security) list Martin's surname as Reschak and place of birth as Austria or Austria-Hungary. A 1910 U.S. Census phonetically lists surname as "Restchalk." Has my surname been "Americanized" and if so, from what? In Polish-Catholic Grade Schools, the nuns spelled my surname as Reszczak, but I have been unable to trace back either Reschak or Reszczak to the Slovak Republic or Poland. I would like any advice on what to do next to locate Martin Reschak's birthplace and any siblings he may have had and any relatives who may still be in the Slovak Republic or Poland.

My grandparents came to America about the turn of the century. My grandfather's name was Frank Wicktora and my grandmother was Hermine Krauklauer. The story my grandmother told was: Her father was a baker. He baked pastries for a local potetate. She had a number of sisters and her favorite tale was how her sister and her friends raided the kitchen and ate pastries which were prepared for a major event at the castle. My grandmother was sent to America when she was 15 to live with relatives, the Sonheimers, in order to seperate her from my grandfather. The Sonheimers lived in Cincinnati, Ohio. No luck! My grandfather booked passage and followed her. My grandfather said his brother was a game warden on an estate. My grandfather told stories of snaring partridges and hunting deer. He said there was quite a bit of danger in the latter since poachers were dealt with severely. Needless to say, his brother had some anxious moments when his little brother was around! I understand that my grandmother had at least one sister who lived in Bratislava. I never heard any information about the Wicktoras.
