Surnames: Pisak, Pesock Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/2442.1.1 Message Board Post: I have recently gotten more information on my great great grandfather. I got a copy of his death certificate. His name listed on certificate was Nikolaj Pisak born 1862 in Zemplinska, Slovak Republic. His daughter Julia (my great grandmother), was born in Dunlo, Cambria Co., PA. She married in Moundsville, WV. Her name as listed on marriage license was Julia Pesock. A cousin of mine says the name was originally spelled Pysak. So as to what original spelling was, it could have been any of these variations. I have not found out if my Nicholas is related to Blasej. I can't find any record of any siblings of Nicholas. I believe he came to US before Ellis Island was in operation. I have checked Castle Garden web site but have not had any luck.
