Thanks every one. I found a Istvan (Stephen) Bartek from Ungarn in the Hamburg Ship records. It didn't say any town. My great Uncle Stephen Bartek was Stara Bystrica(O bestercze). I am not much good at spelling these names. Burgenlaenderin@aol.com wrote: > Ungarn is German for Hungary.

I have friends named Bartek, they "sprang up" in Nebraska! Any possibility of a relation you are looking for?? I'm sure you know that Slovakia was Hungary/Austria until the end of WW1, so a notation of Hungary is correct for Slovakia until the about 1919-1920 (Treaty of Saint Germain-en-Laye [September 10, 1919] and the Treaty of Trianon [June 4,1920]).
