I understand that my Great, great, great grandfather's name was Martin TKAC (or Tkach or Tkacs) He married Anna REPKOVA(female Slovakian version of REPKO). They had at least one child (ANNA) who married Paul GRECKO,SR (Gretchko), and they had eight known children (Mary, Andrej, Paul, Jr., Helen, Stephen J, Ann R, George and my Great grandmother KATARINA b.1891). Karatina married John Sofranko (b. 1886)in 1907. I believe Katarina was the first of her family to be born in the US (Pennsylvania)

If any of this makes sense to anyone, please e-mail me direct. I have yet to figure out how to get into the Surname Message Board. I can post - but not find to read.

Thanks!

My Great-grandfather, First name
unknown, last name Novotny
(Novotnak). Married a woman who we
think had the last name Tkac.
Apparantly, she was from the
surrouding Hazleton, Pa area. This
would have been Mr. Novotnys second
marriage. I have no idea where he is
buried or either of his two wives.
My mother says she remembers going to
St. Josephs cemetery in Hazleton wth
her father, my grandfather Stephen
Sr. to visit the grave of his
mother. I went there today to try
and find this grave and the only
thing we found was TKAC. This name
sounded familiar to my mom so maybe
there is a connection. Have you
tried the SSI death index?? please
let me know if this sounds remotely
possible?...

Tina, I don't know if this would be of any
interest, but the obituary for John Plavchak
in the Mckeesport, Pennsylvania Daily News
for 31 March 2000 had "Born in McKeesport,
Oct. 1, 1906, he was a son of the late Peter
and Anna Tkac Plavchak". Hope this gives
you a lead.

My Grandmother, Anna (Dorchock)(Olsavsky) married Repka in Nova Lubovna, Slovakia. I checked the names with the Repko name in Nova Lubovna Slovakia, but none came up. The name Repka has many people in Nova Lubovna. Slovakia. Anna had 2 children to her first marriage. Anna and Repka had 4 children. They were twins boys and 2 girls. The girls name were Eva or Evita. One boy name was Voytech Repka. My Aunt Tekla (Repkova) Olsavsky came from Nova Lubovna, Slovakia.

I am beginning to trace my family history, and I am having a tuff time. The origanal spelling of our ;ast name was Tkac, but was changed when I grandfather came over. According to his papers that I have found he was from the Austria-Hungary Empior. I hope you have some informaion, and will be able to get me started in the right direction. Thank you
