Spending the week in Utah at the Family History Library. Found lots of church records of Hvizda's in the Roman Catholic Church records from Hazslin.
All of the records at the church after 1889 have the name spell HVIZDA. Prior to that, the records are spelled HVIEZDA. There was a change of priests at this time in the parish, so I would guess that is why the spelling changes.
There are very few entries for this name prior to 1865...thinking this is not their original town. After Janos gets out of the military in 1889 and settles here, there are several Hvizda families showing up in the records. They seem to be married to Zapatocki and Vagatski quite often.
It appears this Janos Hvizda married Zsuzsanna Mestsan (later spellings include Meschan and Mezshan)while living in Hazslin. They later immigrated to Mt. Carmel, PA in the USA.
The part of Hungary that this line of the Hvizda family immigrated is in Saros County. It is in present day Slovakia. At different times it was Hungarian, or part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Previous records I had found in PA erroniously listed them as from Austria.
Looking forward to hearing from other Hvizda relatives.

Dear All, My name is Peter HVIZDA, I am from Slovakia, from Bardejov area (east part of Slovakia). Hvizda means star in our dialect calls "šariščina". My grandfathers name is Eduard Hvizda, he was born 1922 in Raslavice, his mother called Veronica. Raslavice is a village between Bardejov and Prešov. I have never heard about Hvizda Family in Hažlin, but Hažlin is in Bardejov area, that means in Slovakia not in Hungary (but used to by). If somebody has some information associated with this name, please contact me. Thanks.

HI,
My great-great Grandfather, John Hvizda, was born in Raslavice in 1886. He immagrated to the USA, and put Hazlin Hungary on his paperwork as his hometown. Not sure at what point his family may have moved from Raslavice. When I was doing family research in Salt Lake City, I was able to look through baptism records form Raslavice from the late 1800's, and saw many Hvizda's there. WOnder if we are related??
