Zlatica,
You're a genius. Your listing of SAVKANIC is the first confirmation I have had in years of that surname. I show him being born in 1878 in Keczkosoce, Szarish, Slovakia and immigrating at least before 1902. The surname, apparently written by others as it sounded, is recorded:

1910 Szewkenycz
1910 Soranitch
1912 Suchanik
1916 Scukanics
1925 Sofilranich
1938 Sevkanics
1938 Sevkanies

Do you still think I'm on track looking in the directory for SAVKANIC?
