Looking for any information on Leopold Znidarsic, born in Slovenia. He married Louise Muhl in PA. Had Leopold, Marija, Katherine, and Louis. Leopold moved to Cleveland, Ohio, married and had Marie and my husband, John Leo Znidarsic. They lived in Wickliffe, Ohio. Leopold and Louise ran what was called the "Casey Camps" in PA for immigrants working on the coal mines near Latrobe and Bradenville. Any info on the Leopold Znidarsic family, any families with the Znidarsic name from this area of PA, or info on the Casey Camps would be appreciated.

Leopold Znidarsic married Louise in 1921. He died in Latrobe 1930. Louise then married Andy Siskovic. Andy is the person I an interested in. Maybe we should exchange ideas.

I am the grandchild of John and Mary Fradel of Latrobe. I'm trying to figure out how Andy was related. They came from the same village, Povzane/ Materija. They worked together in Cass West Virginia, Andy was my father's Godfather, Andy married Louise in 1931 and lived on Alexandria St, the same street as my grandparents, later in the 1930s my Uncle John Fradel spent a high school summer working with Andy in Cass, cutting trees, I think.
My grandmother's sister married a Josef Siskovic and lived in Povzane. Can you tell me any more about his life or relatives in Slovenia?

I married in to the Znidarsic Family. My husband was Louise Siskovich's grandson. I am away from home and all my family tree notes for another month, so I will try to tell you the little I know off the top of my head. When I return home I will verify that the info I give you now is correct. Leopold and Louise married and had 4 children. Katie, Leo my father-in-law, Lou, and a daughter Marjia who died as a very young child. Leopold was pretty successful in Latrobe. He owned a store and some houses and land. He became ill and died at a young age and left Louise to raise the young children. Louie had to sell most everthing to raise her family. I do not know how she came to know Andy. They married and moved to Virginia for a short time. I don't know if it was Louise or the children that did not like it there, so they returned to Latrobe. Andy died at the Latrobe Hospital, which is where he was employed at the time of his death. I will furnish dates later. He is buried at St. Rose Cemetery. Louise, Leopold, Lou, and Katie are all there. Marija was, I saw her headstone at one time, but cannot locate it now. The cemetery doesn't have very good records from long ago. I believe I have found some of the census' from the area that has the Sikovich name. If I can locate them I will forward them as well. I am looking forward to the 1940 census. We should find more information there. FYI the street name they lived on, Alexandria, was changed to Tyler. My husband was the last one carrying the Znidarsic name, he passed away Jan 6th of this year. We have sold the house on Tyler. My name is Marlene and my husband was John Znidarsic and we have 2 daughters. We live in Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. There is one older woman who resides in Latrobe that may be a distant relative. She was adopted into the family but I have yet to figure out how her adopted parents are related. Some sort of cousin I think. Feel free to contact me. here is my email zmarlene1130@hotmail.com. I am interested on any information you may have on Andy or the Znidarsic's, or the Cassey Camps. Is Cass a city in W. Virginia? Hope to hear from you again. Marlene
