Hello,My Great-grandfather came to this country from Hungary ... in order to escape ethnic persecution here he changed his name to Smith. My Grandfather Steve ( to the best of my knowledge ) was the first Smith born in the U.s.I am desperately trying to find out my family roots , no one knows and my grandfather and grandmother are both passed away. My grandfather lived in Nanty-Glo PA and is name was Steve Smith he was married to my Grandmother Anna Smith for 50+ years. If there is anyone that has information on the Kovack's for me please email me @

bmith@adelphia.net

thank you

Your grandfather was my uncle! I knew him and his wife Anne. His mother's name was Julia. All three are buried in Nanty Glo. COntact me and maybe we can find louie! He took off when my dad, Edward ( AKA Johnny) was little. I have found some interesting info but not sure if it all adds up to our family.

P>S> I think the spelling is Kovacs

I am so sorry that it took me this long to write.

I was unaware of me even having another last name untill I was ready to get married last year and my cousin stated this to me , I was shocked ! I asked my father ( Mike Smith ) and he told me. This was the first time my mother even knew about it ... and she has been married to him for 32 years !

I had wanted to know more about my roots and I was going to go over to Europe and I wanted to visit the homeland of my ancesters and realized that I didn't know where they came from and that had started my quest. I had just wanted to know more.

I live in Buffalo with my wife Tiffany. I have no children ( yet )
I have 3 siblings ... Cindy ( 31) Stephen ( 21) and Alyssa ( 17 ).

Cindy is married with 2 kids Ashley and Nick they live in Greensburg, Pa . Alyssa and Stephen still live at home with my parents in Ebensburg, PA.

I didn't forget about the post and I hope you recive this and we can find things out together.

my email is ( bmith@adelphia.net )

Surnames: KOVACK MEADOWS DILLO DILLOW
Hi, your 4/14/02 post on RootsWeb stated your cousin Judy Schott knew the Kovack family history well. Please ask her to email me. I am responding to a post in 2000 on a genealogy website in which an Alma Dillo Kozack placed the query (pasted below). I have the info she requested. Her email address (josemich@ aol.com) does not work. I am related to Alma's gr grandmother Hannah Caroline (Meadows) Dillow (many cousins removed), through Hannah Caroline (Meadows) Dillow's father, Jacob Meadows, who was my 3x gr granduncle. If you are also interested, or know of someone who might be, please email me. Thank you very very much!! Diane
