Surnames: Tkach, Leschak
Looking for more information on the grandparents of my son-in-law. Joseph was probably a miner from Czech Republic or Poland. The family name Leschak appears on Irene's death certificate, but may not be accurate as to spelling.

Born in the mid-1890's

There is a Joseph and Julia Tkach from nearby
McKees Rocks, Allegheny, PA (daughter Rosie) who may or may not be related.

This is definitely the family for which I am requesting information, and is the only thing I have been able to find, so far.

What was religion of your ancestor?
Map of Austria-Hungary http://www.brainworker.ch/Oesterreich/Austria-hungary.png where 12 different languages were spoken. Do you know language of your ancestor?
I suspect your research will not be in present Czech Republic [Bohemia and Moravia] but most likely in present Slovakia [former Czechoslovakia] or Poland depending on the location. Have you found the place of birth for your ancestors?

Is there a notation Na-naturalized; Al-alien or Pa-first paper? Have you checked in the church where the family attended and the children were baptised in? Those records should have parents place of birth.
