Luteran from Male Ozorovce, Slovakia and Homestead, PA

Classification: Query
My mother's father was Stephen John Luteran (born in 1905 in Homestead, PA). Stephen's father was Janos (John) Luteran, and was born in 1875 in Male Ozorovce, Slovakia. Janos' mother was Anna Luteran. We're not sure what Anna's real maiden name was since we don't know who her husband was.

My great grandfather, Janos Luteran, came to America around 1900, and stayed with his brother George Luteran in Homestead, PA. He worked in the steel industry as a Steam Engineer at a power plant in Pittsburgh, PA. He later moved to Detroit with his family, and worked as an Engineer at Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan. He had 7 children with his first wife, then after she passed away, he married her sister, and had 2 more children.

The HUGE mystery I'm trying to unravel is that my great grandfather's birth certificate says that he was illegitimate. His mother's name was Anna Luteran, and it says that she was widowed at the time of his birth. His son (my great uncle Joe) told me that he had an older brother named George, 2 younger brothers, and 1 younger sister. They supposedly ALL had the last name of Luteran. How can this be unless they're ALL illegitimate? I would LOVE to get to the bottom of this since it could stifle my Luteran family tree efforts! I would also like to find out what Anna Luteran's maiden name is so that I can continue my search on her side.

Here's a list of my Luteran ancestors. Again, my grandfather was Stephen John Luteran. The number represents the generation from Anna Luteran, the arrow represents spouses (sorry if this isn't clear, but formatting is limited in these postings):

222222 son3 Luteran ( - dec.)
