My great grandfather came from Handlova, Slovakia, I don't know what year he came over. I talked to a missionary from there, he said his last name was spelled kmet and they added the z at ellis island. I know they lived in the Chicago area for a while then they moved to Crawford County, Ks to work in the coal mines. He had 5 sons and 2 daughters. The 5 brothers all served in WWII, all came home.
