Surnames: Ovadek, Overdeck
This site lists 13 Ovadeks that immigrated to the US through Ellis Island.

Of those, the first four from Besztercze (now Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, I believe) -- Adolf, Johana, Janos, Maria -- were the family of my great-grandfather. Janos Ovadek became John S. Overdeck (died 1998) of New Chicago, IN.

I suspect Yanos and Victor were likely brothers of Adolf (?). I'd be interested about any further information about relatives of this family.

John

Johana OVADEK was born in Lozorna/Lozorno, going to husband Adolf, her last residence is Besztercze, left mother Katarina LONCSENICS (sp?)
The town of Lozorno falls into area code/UTO 02 of SK's phone book. www.zoznamst.sk
Did not find any OVADEK in Lozorno but did find LANCARIC^ which is possible that what it was Johana's maiden name.
Besztercze is most likely Zahorska Bystrica, now part of city of Bratislava.
