looking for info on Stephen Pozeg/Pozek

Surnames: Pozeg, Pozek
I am looking for information on my great grandfather, Stephen Pozeg/Pozek. His last name was Pozeg, but my great grandmother changed it to Pozek. Most of my relatives use the Pozek spelling, but there are a couple that use the old spelling. Stephen came to the US on his own, so no one knows anything (not even names) about his siblings, parents, etc.

Here's what I do know:
Stephen was born in Yugoslavia (or Czechoslavakia) about 1887. He immigrated to the US about 1907. He died about 1941.

He married Hermina Schenker about 1914. They lived in Pittsburgh, PA

They had 6 kids:

Stephen Pozeg/Pozek Jr.: died at birth
Anna E. " married Robert Bugle
John A. " married Stella (last name?)
Edward " (my grandfather-goes by Pozek-married Mary Jane Gabauer)
Rita "
Robert " (uses Pozeg-married Loretta (last name?))

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cathy, I did find this info a while back, but I wanted to thank you for posting it any ways. It was very nice of you to try to help me out. My great grandfather (Stephen) came to the US by himself, and died when my grandfather was a teenager, so we really don't know anything about him. My grandfather never knew anything about his dad's family. Such a shame! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I will find some long lost family member or some info somewhere.

Thanks again

Michelle

My ex-stepfather is Robert Pozeg. I know his mother's name was Loretta. This obituary says his father, Robert Pozeg was remarried and this is his wife who died. You may be able to contact someone in this long list of Bob's brothers and sisters. They are all still from around Pittsburgh.

Hi Kelly... thanks for responding to my post and providing the obituary. Robert Sr. is my grandfather's brother (have never met him). Your ex-stepdad would be my mom's cousin. I don't really know this side of the family. I do know Arlene though, and she has given me all of the info that she had and she is supposedly the one with the most information. Unfortunately, it isn't much because like I said in a previous post, my great grandfather, Stephen Pozeg (Pozek) came to the US on his own and no one really knows anything about his family. We know more of his wife (Hermina - my great grandmother)

Thanks again - every little bit of information really helps
