Researching: SABOL, DUNAJ, BURIK, DRABB, MALINAK, DURACINSKY, RELOVSKY, MRAZ, KONKOLOVSKY, PRACS, JURONY, SLAVIKOVSKY
Researching Sabol, Dunaj, Burik, and Drabb from Béla nad Cirochou (near Snina in old Zemplín Co.) and Malinak, Duracinsky, Relovsky, and Dziak from Kolac'kov (near Stará L'ubovńa in old Spis' Co.). Other surnames of interest from Kolackov and nearby Nová Lubovńa are Zamiska, Zoldak, Mraz, Konkolovsky, Pracs, Jurony, and Slavikovsky. I am trying to determine where these families were from before they arrived in Bela and Kolackov, so I am especially interested in out if anyone has run across any of these names in nearby places, i.e., any villages near Stará L'ubovńa (esp. Malinak) or Snina (esp. Sabol).
