I believe I wrote to you before. My Grandfathee Michael Hnat (Hnatt, Hnath, Knott) was born in Maly Lipnik in 1882, his father was Peter, his grand-father Todor. Todor had three sons, Peter, Janos and Milhaly. Perhaps your Grandfather Michael was the son of one of the brothers. My Grandfather came to the US in 1897 and, as far as I know, lived is whole life in New Jersey.
My grandfather had six sisters and two brothers. We could be connected somewhere in the weave. First names were reused a lot, how many Michael Hnat's could there be? Lois
