I think my grandmother came from Kocise.

I think my grandmother came from Kocise.

I am trying to find information about my grandmother's family. I think she lived in Kocise. Her father was Martin Yokely, born in 1864. Her mother was Anna, born in 1870. Martin first arrived in the U.S. in 1888, but traveled back and forth. My grandmother came to the U.S. with her mother and sisters in 1906. Does this sound familiar? Is Yokely a name that is found in the area? Thank you for any help. Kay

what was language of your ancestor? What did they considered themselves to be?
Do you have the ancestors arrival manifest?

No location Kocise but Kosice in Czech Republic and Slovak Republic.

The English Y is a J sound.in Slovak and Czech alphabet soo you know that no way you will find a YOKELY in old country.
Do look at JOKELYs arriving NY Ellis Island.
