Hi Tricia,
There may be a connection --but more research is needed.
I have a G Aunt, Anna Hudak, who was born in 1881as a R. Cath. in Jezstreb. I have no data on her marriage to date. Perhaps the surname Ferko is a lead. I`ve come across the Ferko name often. Do you have any place names that may be of some help?
