Hi Eva.

What part of Poland are you researching? I have a Maria Kuptsak who lived just over the border of Slovakia in Poland. She was taken to a prison camp in Poland and then adopted as a young child and raised in Russia. She now lives in the states.

I am a Kupcik...but my father's people were from the High Tatra area of Slovakia.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Hi Sandi. Your post came up when I did a search for Maria Kuptsak. The brief history in your post matches my mother's. Her birth name was Maria Kuptsak. She was brought to and orphanage in the Soviet Union after WWII and renamed after adoption. She was raised in Kiev, and currently lives in CA. As far as I know, she has no living blood relatives. Would really like to find a connection if it exists. Thanks.

Inna, do you know what village your mother was born in or lived in? I saw the post about Maria on the Jewish GenWeb, the section on Holocaust survivors. I sent a note to the person who posted it, but the email was no longer valid. I attempted to do a search on the name in the email, and I mailed off a letter to them. I never heard back. Your mother's adopted name is Anna Magid?

I will tell you what I know, and if you can provide me with the village of her birth or where she lived, I can check to see if the church records have been microfilmed and see if I can make a tie into my Kuptsak line. My ever so great grandfather Mathias Kuftsak *1700s spelling* was first found in a village called Haraszt, Szepes Megye, Hungary. It is now known as Chrast nad Hornadom. He was not originally born there, but he was confirmed into the Catholic faith and there married Susanna Almassy. They had many children, most of them boys who lived to adulthood and married. One of them was Jakub, from where my line comes. Maria, of course, is a favorite name for girls, and true to form, Maria was a child of Mathias and Susanna, and Jakup had a daughter Maria...and Jakub's daughter Rosalia *my greatgreat grandmaother* had a child named Maria. Every generation of Kuptsak's had Marias.

I would be delighted to see if I can find any way to determine if the village in Poland was the original family nest, or if it originated in the Upper Tatras of Slovakia.

I am so glad you wrote. I have the post about Maria on my file cabinet at work, and look at it frequently. There are so very, very few Kuptsak, Kupciks, Kuptsiks in the world....at last count I was only able to find 114 families living in the US. That's not very many. Most of them are in New England, Upstate New York and Ohio. My father's family lived in New Britain Connecticut and Binghampton New York. They came over from Slovakia in the late 1890s and very early 1900s.

Please share with me what you know about your mother's region and I will do my best to find something for her!
