Subject: Concerning Slovakia genealogy query
Hello,
Need information on the following: My gggrandfather Vendelinus Vinka was the son of Emericus Vinka and Anna Majzun born in Zavod (No. 119), Bratislava, Slovakia in 1900 according to his baptism papers. The family was also Roman Catholics. According to an Ohio census Anna was born about 1880 and I believe that at some point Emericus changed his name to Henry and the 1910 federal Ohio census says he was born about 1873. The family immigrated to America through Ellis Island and settled in Ohio:
Passenger list for the SS Lahn dated 6 Dec 1900 shows the arrival of a Imre (or Emre) Vinka born about 1873/74 coming from Zavod and going to Bellaire, Ohio.
Pasenger list for the SS Barbarossa dated 16 Feb 1905 shows the arrival of Anna Vinka (born about 1880) and her son Vendol Vinka (born about 1900) coming from Zavod and traveling to Emrich Vinka in Bellaire, Ohio. There was also a Miklos Majzun traveling on the Barbarossa form Zavod.  There are also various Majzun and Vinka passengers traveling from Zavod to the US during various years.  Emericus and Anna Vinka left behind a daughter named Helen or Helena born 1898 in Zavod with Emericus's grandfather. She later married someone with the last name Sisolak - first name possibly John. Vendelinus had his name changed to Wendel Winko in Louisiana, 1923.  Emericus had two sisters and I think their names were Anna and Catherine.
Emericus and Anna later had five more children in Ohio: Mary, Joseph, John, Elizabeth, and Paul (who was later adopted by the Radish family). I found a 1910 federal census with

the family in Ohio.  I am looking for information about this family while they resided in Zavod. Interested if there were any generations that came from the left behind daughter

 (Helen or Helena). Also if anything is know about previous generations. I can be contacted at: dan (at) winko (dot) us Thanks, Dan Winko

I am looking for information on my great grandfather.  John Dremack/Drimack, possible middle initial "J".  Have seen both spellings of last name referring to my great grandfather.  Only hard evidence I have is his WW1 Draft Registration card signed June 5, 1917,on which it states, Name - John Drimack, born - April 7, 1892 in Saros, Austria. Medium height and build, Brown hair and eyes. married with 3 children. He was accepted. No further records after this time have been found on him.  I know not when or where he died.  He possibly came over to the US in 1900. Looking to go out west and work for the railroad is the story I get from family.  e-mail - Mlkquilts@aol.com

Hi, I am looking for information about my Grandma, she was born in Hungary in a town that meant "apple" .  Her birth name was Mary A Harton born January 25, 1907.  We think it was close to the Danube River, but don't know for sure.  Recently I was given information that alma means apple, but not for sure.  While looking on maps I found a town called Almas.  Any information about that town, maybe some relatives who still live in Hungary.  I was also given the town Almasfuzito, I would like information about this town too.
Thanks so much, Terri
