More questions. So who is this fella? Jozef Zinvostks Haborka 1902 33 81% And about your GM, was she married in this country? Was Carolina > Zsivnostka her maiden name? What name did she emmigrate under? Is Zsivnostka an Americanized version of something else? And what about your GP? What was his name? When did he immigrate? Year of birth? Every little bit helps... Looks to me given the name shown above that your spelling may be way off.
