May I suggest you also post on the US state where your ancestor lived? A wider exposure should only help.

Dear Zuzana,

Ellis Island records show a 1924 arrival of Anna SPILAK, age 35, housewife from Skalita, going to husband, Andry SPILAK, in Tunnelton, Pennsylvania. This is also in Indiana County and quite possible the Andrew you're interested in. She had previously lived with her mother, Zofie KRIANA, in Skalita.

Also traveling with her is her 14 year old son, Pavel, born in Skalita.

Good luck,
Karen

Thank you so much Karen. She certainly looks like she could be his wife (and son), I will look into it in more detail.

Unfortunately my research buddy just confirmed that this was a wife of a different Ondrej Spilak, this is a common name in Skalite which makes the search that much more difficult.
Thank you
