Hi Carole, Yes, I can give you quite a bit of information about my ancestors. First, none of them ever migrated to Texas or to Nebraska. Second, all of them came from the Austria-Hungary area which is now Czechoslovakia. They all came to America from Gyorgy, Hungary. Third, my grandmother's name was Philomena Mirushka Kupecz, born in 1888; her parent's names were Milos Krupecz, and Catherine Hradel, They stayed in Hungary. My grandfather's name was Frank Martine Walla. They emigrated to NYC in 1920 on board the Blucher. After a few years they married and settled in Binghamton, Broome, NY, where she gave birth to my father, Walter Francis Walla.
