Hello I am new and not sure what to expect . But I am searching for a very good Slovac older freind his name is HROBAK and he is related to BUTZ on mother side and a uncle Pisacik. He was not born until January 22, 1927 . He only knew of his father and mother and mothers sister who came from Checkosylvocia he thought as I dug into finding him his family. I find they were indeed slovac and I find the 1910/1920/1930 census records gave different details. Ages often were different/ and the place they came from was different and the date of arrival and Narturalization dates were off and different. I can not seem to find them indexed on Ellis Island site. I know they must of came to America between 1900-1910 and it appears many did come. I wonder can any one please tell me what as going on why so many Slovac people coming in those early years to New York census below Thank you Jeanie April 18 1910 Montville , Morris County New Jersey Lawrence HROBAK is 23 years old.
