Classification: Query
Is this your family as found in the 1930 US Census for Kenosha?

Name Age
Joseph Istvanek 46 immigrated 1909 born Czechoslovakia
Mary Istvanek 42 " " "
Anna Istvanek 19 born Phildelphia
Joseph M Istvanek 15
Mother tongue listed as Slovak

Next door was the John and Frances ISTVANEK family

And the 1920 Kenosha census concurs with this info

Name Age
Joseph Istvanck 35 immigrated 1909 Slovakland
Mary Istvanck 32 " "
Mary Istvanck 10 " "
Annie Istuavek 9 born PA
Joseph Istuavek 5 born WI
Mother tonuge Slovak

Perhaps this is the (extended) family as found in the 1910 Philadelphia census

Joseph Istranck 27 immigrated 1908
Mary Istranck 24 immigrated 1908
