I am seeking information on my wife's great grandparents. All I know for certain is that they are from Pustakart, Czek. Their names might have been Emery and Mary Shipko.The first 3 children born to them were born in Pustakart -Julius, born in 1898, Michael Shipko in 1901, and Bernadine Agatha Shipko, born in 1904. Mary,their 4th child was born in Pennsylvania in 1913. So they must have emigrated between 1904-1913. I did not see the name Shipko under Czek surnames, so their name might have been different. Shipkowski, perhaps. I only know about their origin in Pustakart from the Social Security Index. Does anyone know of a place named Pustakart?

Jim,

Mary Shipko was my grandfather's aunt - she lived in
Binghamton NY in the 1930 - she had practiced medicine
in Europe.

My grandfather was Stefan Bakay (Bakaj)

Wow, I just read your post from back in April. I don't know how I missed it. Your Grandfather's aunt (Mary Shipko) was born Mary Karnos, and you are right about practicing medicine. In the US she worked as a midwife. She married Emrich Shipko. She was born in 1876, and she died in 1950. She is buried in the Riverside Cemetary in Union, NY. (the Binghamton area)
All I know is that she was from Slovakia, but I know nothing about her like in Europe other than that she emigrated here about 1912.
Her husband was from Pusta Kert or Pustakart and 3 of their children were born there.

Mary's youngest daughter, also Mary is my wife's grandmother. She died a little over a year ago.

Was your grandfather from Pusta Kart as well? Is Mary Shipko his mother's sister, then? Doy you know much about your great grandmother?

Pusztakurt is in Hungary I believe. Michael was my grandfgather. My father is Thomas. I'm interested in tracing my heritage. Who are you?

Did you marry a Hojsik by any chance? I'm her long lost cousin Dave. Are you the guy from Jamaica?

Point of interest - there is a city in Russia named Shipko. It's in the Ukraine I think, wherever Yaroslavkaya Oblast' is.

Mary Shipko was my great-grandmother. Michael was my father's father. Who are you?
