Seems there were LACOs in 1995 in Lovinobana but presently on LACOVA [female] in the phone book.

Also in Lovinobana a LACKO which is not to be confused with LACO.

Janos is John in Hungarian
'ne' is Hungarian for Mrs. So she arrived in proper way as Janosne.
All the information is on the NY Ellis Island arrival manifest. You need to register to www.ellisislandrecords.org but no money. Some manifests are 2 pager.

Re: LATSO Surname

JerrySullivan38 — 2013-02-20 13:46:55Z

No place of birth at this time. My husband,grandson of
John Latso remembers talk about two parts of the country.
Perhaps kratky (spelling may be wrong)and another. He has
a hammer with JL---K on it.

Re: LATSO Surname

JerrySullivan38 — 2013-02-19 21:15:14Z

I will be aware of the possible different spellings.
It could be possible that was the right John Latso. It
would mean that he died while Mary was still pregnant
with her daughter Mary as her birthday is April 19, 1922
I know little about the Latso family as my husbands (Jerry)
grandma and grandpa (John and Mary) came over on the boat
and he died way before Jerry (grandson) was born. Perhaps
John or Mary had brothers or sisters that also came and
settled in Pennsylvania. I cant ask Mary as she has dementia
and is in a nursing home toward cleveland. I do know Mary
Latso the mother came to Cleveland and lived and remarried
having another son who is now also deseaced. thanks for
the help, I appreciate it. I will keep looking but will
follow your lead.

Re: LATSO Surname

sargent1 — 2013-02-19 18:02:19Z

Dear Jerry--- Reading your letter I realized that I forgot to mention that the half brother, Janos Laczo, of my grand father,Mihaly Laczo, was single according to the ship manifest. Don't get "hung-up" on the spelling of Latso. In America Slovak and Hungarian names that sound like Latso are spelled as Latzo, Laso, Laczo, Latso and probably half a dozen other ways. I noted your Uniontown directory of 1928 stating that Mary Latso was a widow living in a home belonging to the Jamison Coal and Coke Co. That was the same coal co where John Latso worked as a carpenter. I searched the Pa Death registers from 1920 through 1929 and the best I could find was a John Latso dying Jan 16,1922 in Fayette County. This might be our John Latso, as Uniontown is within Fayette County. By the way I see you have Zlatica Beca's attention, in the past she has helped me in many ways--- John Noel Latzo

Dear Jerry--- My research on John Latso aka Janos Laczo is as follows: Janos born in the village of Petrocz on 4 Dec 1887 to my great grand father Janos Laczo and his 2nd wife Zsuanna Jesko. He arrived in New York city on 16 Dec 1906 via the SS Hannover from the port of Bremen, Germany. He was 5'5" ,fair complexion, with black hair and blue eyes. He was a farm laborer and claimed he was traveling to his brother's home in Tresckow,Pa. The brother of course was my grand father, Mihaly Laczo, aka Michael Latzo.I have no further info. Could this be your John Latso?

It seems odd that somebody has not already translated for you, so I just tried the 2 phrases at "GoogleTranslate".

It says:
1. Svedectvo mravnosti a zachovalosti = "Testimony of morality and preservation".

2. vysvedcenie na odchod = "certificate of departure".

Maybe a Slovak speaker will offer a better translation.

I am so sorry to sound foolish, but what did you mean by 'Send PM'? Thanks,Debbie

auntb200 — 2012-08-11 14:41:24Z

Yes, that is what I meant, thank you. It's hard to read some of the spelling on the forms I have. Would you be willing to try to translate a letter or two I've inherited? I believe they are written in the Czech language as that is where my mother always said her parents were from, but I am not certain. I have seen Krusetnica, Austria, Hungary on different forms listed as place of birth, so I am just not sure. I am impressed at your knowledge and excited that you even know about Krusetnica, I have been trying for a long time to gather any information I can. My mom said her parents didn't talk much about their past and when I found these letters after she passed away I am hoping to get some names or clues to my ancestors. Thank you again for your kindness in responding to my e-mail. Debbie

I assume you mean Krus'etnica (pronounced "CREW-shet-nyeet-suh"), a small village in northwestern Slovakia. If that is correct, your grandparents' surnames will likely be among this list of the most common surnames found there in 1995:

I found an old post on the message board and wondered if you could translate some letters for me. My grandparents were from Krustenica, I believe that used to be in Czechoslovakia. Thank you

Go ahead send a letter in English. Make it simple sentences. More and more young adults and children know English. If you can, get it translated into Slovak. Try www.translate.google.com but it has some problems with a Slavic language so after translating to Slovak go back with it to English just to see if the meaning is still the same.

Zlatica, is it ok to send a letter written in English or should I look into getting it translated before sending?

Re: Surname BETUS from Pribylina

ZlaticaBeca — 2012-05-22 03:28:22Z

You're welcome Kata.
Do consider sending a letter with some information about your ancestor, include your e-mail address and a photo of your ancestor to the BETUS that shows up in the phone book. Hopefully you will be pleasently surprise.

Surname BETUS from Pribylina

katar99 — 2012-05-22 01:02:14Z

Hi, trying to track my BETUS roots back in Pribylina and any info would be greatly appreciated! The relatives that I have some info on came to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Josephine Betus (b. abt 1890) came over in 1905; her brother Josef Betus (b. about 1887) and her mother Maria (b. abt 1857) came over in 1920. There was a sister Maria Betus that was still in Pribylina in 1920; and I don't know their father's name. They all said they came from Prybilina, and also wondering if it's likely they would have been born there. Thanks!
