Surnames: Kepchar, Cuprak, Krafchik, Bonneau, Brodar, Samarzija
We're researching a Kepchar family line, beginning with Michael Kepchar, married to Suzanna Cuprak, both born in Slovakia (no firm dates yet) in the mid 1800s. I think Suzanna stayed in Slovakia, but Michael emigrated to the States. We know of children Michael, Anna, Steve, Helen, Ella. We have lots of info about the family members who settled in Indiana. I know from SSDI research that one or more branches settled in NY and Connecticut, but don't have any info about those branches. If you've got a link, please respond!!

Hi Donna...I am doing some research for my 88 year old aunt. She says she has KRAFCHIK relatives. Her mother was Ann KACMARIK who came to this country with her mother in 1913 to Granville, NY and later to CT, where we both live now. Anna died in 1928 when my aunt was 7, and she knows "little" of her family. The name KEPCHAR sounds familiar as well, not sure at this point how. Other names she thinks are "cousin" are KOPCHIK, Kranyak, BASAR/Basher, and Andres.
Anna married John Semancik. I am hoping we can help each other. I would love to find out something about my aunt's family for her.
Thanks Donna, Nancy

Well, there are Krafchiks in our tree - why don't you send me your email address and I'll send it to you.

There are Kepchars currently in Connecticut, too, but I'm not sure how they tie in. There were Kepchars who came in to the US from Jastrebie in the late 1800s who settled in Windber, Pennsylvania and in Connecticut -- I'm sure they're all related, but don't know how yet!
