Received the death cert for Frank Urban today. The cert says he was born in POLAND to John and Mary Urban. Lists his birth as 9-15-1876 and death as 10-16-1938. His wife was Mary Laya Urban and was born in 1877 and died in 1957. Immigrated to Westmoreland County, PA in 1902. Had at least five children: Agnes Urban Gorinski (born 1899), Joseph Urban, John Urban, Josephine Urban Keep, Julia Urban Lubowinski. All except Julia are buried in Saint Stanislaus Cemetery in Calumet, PA. Please contact me if you think you have more information on this family.

I just received the death certificate for my husband's great grandfather, Frank Urban. It lists his date of birth as 9-15-1876 and date of death at 10-16-1938. His parents are listed as John and Mary Urban from Poland. His wife is listed as Mary Laya Urban. The death certificate states he lived in this country for 36 years. I think this means his arrival in America would be 1902 from Poland. Can anyone give me more information on how to find out where in Poland they came from? I had really thought the family was Slovak.

Thus, it doesn't mean that is Croatian if it's "ijekavian", there are at least 3 milion Serbs who speak "ijekavian", but their registers are in cyrillic. Muslims are also speak "ijekavian", but I don't know anything about registers. It will be helpfull to know what years are about, location and type of register. Zdravko Subakov [email protected]

Sorry I can't find the original question and I am not sure which list it was on so I am posting to both and hopefully others maybe interested too. Joanne Question was "What is a morg?" >From Polish Parish Records of the Roman Catholic Church by Gerald Ortell on page 11: In Austro-Hungarian-occupied Poland---1 morg equals 1.422 acres In Prussian-occupied Poland---------------1 morg equals 0.631 acres In Russian-occupied Poland----------------1 morg equals 1.388 acres.

Hi, what did you plan to send? Elaine Jerry Machalek wrote: > fyi

Is it possible he is named after St. John Nepomucene, patron saint of Bohemia? I am suggesting this, but remember I am a novice! My grandfather consistently used Michael in this country, but one church record in Chicago indicates he may have been Matej (Matthew) or the Priest might have been careless. I gather a boy born in Bohemian in 1856 probably was a Matej and not a Michael. Good luck.

I think it's probably correct. My stepmother's name was Nemec also. Her family was from the present Czech Republic also. __________________________________________________________________ Jerri Cochran IUP University Relations Ph: (724) 357-4546 Fax: (724) 357-7993 E-Mail: [email protected]

Excuse me? Does anyone know (A) what language and (B) what's the English for: Rodeni and Vjencani ? One should be births/christenings and the other marriages, but I need to know which is what so I can help a patron at the FHC figure out which one to request. Thanks -- and since this probably a true newbie question, e-mail's probably better than news! [email protected]

[email protected] It's obviously Croatian with rodjeni meaning literally "born" and vjencani (=vyenchani) meaning "married", actually this is ijekavian (=croatian) unless your document was written in cyrillic which would mean that it is be montenegrin or bosnian-serbian

[email protected] I defer to the experts, but this list is slow on Sundays so I will just say that those words are from one of the southern Slavic (Yugoslav) languages, probably Croatian. "Rodeni" is births, and "Vjencani" is marriages. You should have another set of records labelled something like "smrt" or "kraj," for deaths. Jim

Hello there, I'm interested in finding out the phone number of someone who lives in the town of Pecs in Hungary. Is there an online directory for white and yellow pages for Hungarian cities? If some has the URL for one could they please send it to me? Thanks folks, have a good day! [email protected]
