The Slovak Yankee

Slovaks as early Feminists

By studying the church records of Vrbovce, Slovakia, it is clear that women kept their birth names throughout their life.  In all records they are referred to by their birth name and then a further description of being the daughter of or wife of or widow of a man.

Elisabeth d. Joannes Waluch and Elizabetha Brkala, godparents Joannes Klinek and his wife Maria Puca, 5 November 1785

Note is this example that the mother is given her maiden name and the godmother as well.

In death records this is also done:

Anna Chalupa, widow of Johannes Valuch.

This practice is going on in the 18th century in this protestant church.  I only wish English records kept a woman's maiden name going throughout her life.

 

Vrbovce Records

I think Vrbovce genealogy is much trickier than I earlier assumed.  Using just birth, marriage, and death records does not give enough information to distinguish one person of the same name with another.  I may have wrong branches in my tree.  I am investigating that now.

I am abstracting the protestant church records of Vrbovce from 1783-1815 for any Chodurs, Waluch's, Tomeceks, and Balaz's.  I have two Chodur lines and two Waluch/Valuch lines.

Right away I noticed the trouble.  In 1784 there are two Martin Tomeceks having children.  on 27 January 1784 he has son Martin with wife Anna Marecek.  On 13 February 1784 another Martin had son Jan with wife Susanna Sifel.  Obviously these men are cousins.  But they need to be delineated.

Likewise in 1785 two Elisabeth Chodurs are baptized one on 31 March with father Jan and another on 25 May with father Paul.

Luckily I discovered the death record of my ancestor Anna (Chalupa) Valuch on 11 December 1860.  She died as Anna Chalupa widow of Jan Valuch aged 67.  That gives a birth year of 1793 and lo and behold there is an Anna Chalupa baptized 26 March 1793 daughter of Martin Chalupa and Elisabeth Valassek.  This gives me a second Valassek line.

So progress is being made.

Soundex at Familysearch.org

I can't find out but I assume that the search engine at Familysearch.org uses Soundex.  That is a system of finding names that are spelled differently with the same code.  So something like Stewart and Stuart are equal and appear in the same retrieved list.

But does that work for non-English language names?  I don't think so.  I've been researching the name Krc.  That is K620 in Soundex.  But variants of the name are Krcs (K622) and Krts (K632).  You have to search those names separately.

The names Szowiss is S222 but Szoviss is S212.  Soviss is S120 and Sowiss is S220. In German and Slovak V and W are the same but in Soundex V is not the same as W.

Tomecek seemed to yield all variants of T522.  Tomeczek or Tomezek.

It's interesting because they have the first names programmed.  A search for Jan (Slovak) yields Janos (Hungarian) or Johannes (Latin). 

And names like Waluch/Valuch or Walek/Valek are completely different.  Plus you run into the fact that the transcribers got their M's and W's mixed up.

The only safe way to travel is to read the church records on browse and not use the search engine.  A search for Pavel Holic in Myjava in 1860 failed to bring up his baptism record,  It got both his marriages and several children.  I really don't know what to say.

 

Possible German Line

I've been pursuing a possible German ancestor behind my Slovak ancestors.  Wouldn't that be exciting?  It seems Shultz a German name is rendered Sulc in Slovak.  So the line would be:

1. Jacob Shultz/Sulc b.c. 1715
2. Susanna Shultz/Sulc m. Jan Witek
3. Jan Witek m. Katherina Witek
4. Elisabeth Witek m. Martin Kristofik
5. Paul Kristofik m. Anna Plessa
6. Paul Kristofik m. Susana Balaz
7. Anna Kristofik 1883-1959 who immigrated to the U.S. and was my great-grandmother.

 

 

Eliza (Killen) Quigley 1831-???

I have been collecting valid death dates for my paternal great-great-great-grandparents.  Got two this week.  But there is one maternal great-great-great-grandparent I don't have a good death date for.  Eliza Killen married William T. Quigley on 29 July 1847 at Sussex, New Brunswick ("Kings County Marriage Register B (1844-1867) by Ruby M. Cusack, p. 38).  She appears with her family in 1851 and 1861 censuses.  She then disappears.

She is not in 1871 census and must be really dead by the time her husband remarries on 9 June 1876 [Records of the Rev. James Gray, Kings Co., New Brunswick, 1857-1898 (Saint John, N.B.: The Saint John Branch, New Brunswick Genealogical Society, 1991)]. 

While doing research I noticed that there was a gap in the Rev. Gray's work from 1863 to 1864.  It has been my assumption that Eliza died during that period and was unrecorded. Her husband's death on 31 July 1895 is recorded: “Vital Statistics from New Brunswick (Canada) Newspapers 1894-1895, Volume 95” by Daniel F. Johnson (the author, Saint John, N.B., Canada, 2003), Entry #1968.

So I don't even have all the death dates for all my 3rd greats.

Juraj (Jiri) (George) Balaz 1828-1898

Just got his death certificate.  He dies after the end of church records that have been filmed (circa 1895).  His death certificate shows his father as George Balaz and mother as Elisabetha Sisska, which we aleady knew.  But this confirms it.

Slovak Genealogy Goals

What are some Slovak genealogy goals.  Well, the first goal would be to identify all your Slovak immigrant ancestors.  In my case that's four great-grandparents.

The second thing is to place each immigrant back in their hometown.  You can do this in many ways.  I started early and simply asked my grandmother who knew where her mother, father and mother-in-law came from.  The fourth hometown was on the ship's manifest of my great-grandfather's arrival to Ellis Island.  He noted his last residence in Europe.

Having secured the hometown of each you can then search for the parents, grandparents, and other ancestors of your immigrant ancestor.  In my case I took some time and identified all the parents (in my case 8 great-great-grandparents) and I slowly got the death records for each, many of which were not in the Archives of Slovakia but in the local town since they happened post 1895.

Then using church records (it's good to know whether your family was protestant or catholic) I moved back to the 18th century in all lines.  Right now the latest ancestor for whom I don't know parents was born circa 1799.  I know her name from her child's baptism, but have not located the baptism, marriage or death record for her.  And she has a common  name for the village (Anna Chodur).

So what now?  The church records peter out in the 1770s because my ancestors were protestants.  Some of my lines reach to the 1730s but not much past that.  And what of the records I use?  They are baptism, marriage, and death records.  No biographical information whatsoever.  The 1869 census provides some background but that's just two generations.

With New England genealogy there is always the possibility of biographical information, military experience and with British ancestry a chance at landed gentry backgrounds and royal lines.  None of that exists with Slovak ancestry.  My great-great-grandfather was a blacksmith and I know that from his death record.  But who was in the army against Napoleon or for the war of the Austrian Succession?

So I'm convinced I've reached all my Slovak genealogy goals.  I have all lines pushed back 200 years or more.  The only thing you could do would be to start a family project.  Abstract all church records in a town for one surname.  It would be time consuming but manageable.

 

Slovak and Yankee Celebrities

In the late 1980s and early 1990s Gary Boyd Roberts wrote a column for the NEHGS called Notable Kin.  These articles were later published as a two-volume work by Carl Boyer.

In these columns Roberts traced the ancestry of famous people and showed you that you share ancestors with them and were hence cousins.  This combined with his Ancestry of the American Presidents lent itself such that anyone with significant New England ancestry would find cousins.

Some such distant cousins of mine include the wife of Rudyard Kipling, Sir Robert Laird Borden, prime minister of Canada, Queen Camilla (which I've already written about), Samuel Adams, Elbridge Gerry, Robert Treat Paine, Josiah Bartlett, Nicholas Gilman, Nathaniel Gorham, Rufus King, and Oliver Wolcott, all signers of the Declaration of Independence, Supreme  Court Justice David Souter, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, John Greenleaf Whittier, Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball, Jane Fonda, and a host of other celebrities and notable personages.

But what of my Slovak half?  Well, there are only two notable people of Slovak descent of whom I am acquainted.  Paul Newman was half Slovak on his mother's side.  But she was Roman Catholic and I would share no ancestors with her.  Andy Warhol's family came from Slovakia but were ethnically Carpathian Rusyns and therefore not Slovak at all.  I have mentioned Juraj Balaz, the soccer player and so too, there is Jan Skok, a hockey player.  They both bear names of men that I descend from in the 19th century.  It's anyone's guess how we are related.

Of course, there are only 5.4 million Slovaks in Slovakia and let's say another million people in the U.S. of Slovak heritage (number may be higher).  That's not a big pool of people to pluck celebrities from.

Slovak Names

I've been using Familysearch.org for their Slovak records lately and have a few comments.

1. Matej Holic 1815-1863 of Tura Luka.  If you search Matej as a given name you do return Matthias (Latin).  (all of which are Matthew in English).  I searched Matej in the database and easily found his baptism in 1815.  But no where was the birth of his four children or his burial record.  What does that say about the transcribing problems at Familysearch?
2. Jan Tomecek who married at Vrbovce 22 November 1813, Alzbeta Walek.  He says he's 20 at marriage, so hence born circa 1793.  There is a Jan Tomecek baptized in 1793 but there are four more baptized in the years around then.  There is no way to know which Jan Tomecek is correct.  This arises from the Slovak tradition of given names.  Men were Paul, John, George, Martin and occasionally Thomas and Samuel.  I have an Adam and Matej as unusual outliers.  But the problem is all the cousins are either John, Paul or George.  Girls are Elisabeth, Anna, Susanna, Catherina, and sometimes Judith or Barbara.
3. Jan Skok who married at Vrbovce on 3 November 1806 Katherina Valassek.  There are no less that six Jan Skoks baptized between 1780 and 1788. 

 

1. So be careful with the Slovak transcriptions in the database.  Your most reliable way to search is to search the actual records themselves year by  year.  I just found the death record of a third great grandfather in 1885.  It does work (and by the way it was the third record I found with that name between 1880-1885).
