I am searching for any information on John KOTASEK b. abt. 10 Dec. 1869 (it also lists 1866) in Moravia, Austria; m. 15 Nov. 1893 to Maria KALAFUT b. 16 Apr. 1875 d. 2 Apr. 2002.

John KOTASEK emigrated to American from Breman, Germany on the vessal "Maine". He arrived at the port of New York on or about 24 Oct. 1902.

It shows that he was born in Moravia, Austria, and lists he last foreign residence in Markusovce, Hungary.

I am trying to locate birth records, family information, especially the name of his parents. Can anyone help me with this inquiry?

Don't know what else new I can add to your query that I have not already on the boards or thru e-mail.
It sure is far from historical region Moravia (Czech Republic) to Markusovce, Slovak Republic unless he was a teacher, business man or ?
If he was born in "Moravia" than you would have to hire a researcher in CZ or go to the appropriate archive yourself for the research. The CZ's government did not allow the LDS to film the church records.
Is it possible for some kind of mistake on his manifest?

Jennifer, the Protestant religious denomination, the Moravians, who are strongly represented in Pennsylvania, has nothing at all to do with the former Austrian province of Moravia!
