Surnames: Knieza, Kniesa
My father's name was John Drob, formerly Drab. The name was changed a long time ago and l don't know if it was also shortened. His Mother, Josephine Knieza was from Slovakia. The only information I have is on Josephine's sister Cecilie who came through Ellis Island in 1921. She lists her place of residence as Frstena, Cz. Slovakia. However, I can't find it on any map, maybe it's near Bela/Snina. I also don't know if there is any relation to your family tree. Any information would be helpful.

Hi,
my name is Linda Drabova and I would like to find somebody from my family in USA as I live here now and I am interested in that. I was born in 1974. My father' s name is Ladislav Drab, born 1945, in village called Stara Bystrica,region: Kysuce, Slovakia. His father is Gaspat Drab. I think he was born in 1912 or something like that. Anyway,he (Gaspar Drab) mentioned to my father that his brother or .....??? came to USA in the beginning of the century. Does anybody knows about that? Can somebody help?
Thank you.
Linda

No I do not know where they would be now (Ronnie). I know that in the 60's for sure they lived on Bixby Street because Mom told me and that is where Mom lived in W. Covina.
