But it is a name that intrests me. Some of the same group I am tracking had that last name. I have 3 books of the historys of several families from the are of former Yugoslavia. (Serbia and Croatia) There are a couple of Bindas trees in these. I know there were Bindas' in some of the manifests. (from Bachka but heading to Patton, Pa) I'll take a look at these and see if there are any John/Ivan/ or Janko Bindas going to the US. Unfortuately, the surname I am seeking in Farrell, would be Mudri. And it would a woman's maiden name. I was simply struck by the names you were discussing with Bernie. I also took a look at some of your other postings and found some more similiarities: FYI father Mihajlo Malacko is the current priest in the town were my family is from, (Sid, Vojvodina Serbia). I saw you had another posting about the surname Malacko. May I ask where this part of your family is from?
