Can anyone explain why Metro Sevkanic went by the alias of John Teman? Metro was born in 1876. died 1938. He lived in Allentown, PA. His first wife was Anna Fenyo, and second was Helen Kachurek.

More information came in after finding my FENO/FENOVA cousins in Slovakia.

Dmytry (Metro) SEVKANICS (SEVKUNICS) married Anna FENOVA while still in Slovakia.
Dmytry SEVKANICS, b. abt. 1876 Keckovce, Slovakia
Anna FENOVA, b. 12-6-1877 Keckovce, Slovakia

Metro used the alias John TEMAN when in America, allegedly because it was easier to use and spell (he was illiterate). Someone by the surname of TEMAN built the house Anna FENOVA was born in in Keckovce.

Do you have additional information?

My name is John Teman. My Father's name is John Teman. My Grandfather's name, who passed away before I was born, is Frank Teman. We all lived in Allentown, PA. Our Family is not aware of a "John Teman" of that age living in Allentown, PA. Here is some info on my Grandparents. Hopefully, there is some info that can help connect the dots.

Sincerely, John Teman jfteman@yahoo.com
