Hi Cheryl,

I believe we may be related. My great-grandfather was John Nemec, son of Stefan Nemec and Katarina Bor. John Nemec was born in 1885 in Vrbove/Verbo, Austria-Hungary (currently Slovakia). My Nemec great-grandparents settled in New Hope, Niles, Cayuga Co., NY, and they were heavily connected with the Slovak Lutheran church in Skaneateles, Onondaga Co., NY. I have heard from family members that John Nemec had one or more Boor cousins in the Skaneateles area. I would love to hear more about your Anna Boor.

All best,
Sarah
