My grandfather was Michael (Mike) Sirak, who
was an immigrant to the USA in 1895 at the age
of eight years. He came from the village of
Hrabovec, Austria Hungary (then) now in
Slovakia. His mother was Catherine Slota.
His father, Jan Sirak, died when my grand-
father was just a boy. His mother then
married a man with the surname MARTIN.Not
sure whether this marriage took place in the
old country or in the USA.Mike Sirak was
adopted and used the name Mike Sirak Martin
in the USA.
He had a younger brother named
John Sirak Martin.
They resided in the Wilkes Barre PA area.
