Can someone advise whether it will be possible to source birth records for following: John Choma, born 7 October 1883, Lukov Theresa Monasky [?Mochnaska/Mochnacka?], born 27 Feb 1886, Lukov Michael Herrick [?Hirjak/Hirjk?], born 20 August 1884, Hummene Anna Jusco [?Juryska/Jurzko?], ??c1884 Hummene? Given the dates and places of birth, assuming these are correct, are records available for this period of time in these places? At least the first two were of Greek Orthodox Catholic church. Also, if anyone on list is familiar enough with the names, could they make a likely guess as to correct spelling of names prior to their being anglicized? Many thanks for any help.. Lynda Campbell

The name Choma is still in Livov, Livov is about 5 km south of Lukov. Lukov (25 km west of Bardejov) has a well known Greek Catholic wooden church (Sts. Kozma and Damian). My grandmother's (born 1893) godparents were Antal Choma and Helén Choma but they were from Livov.

Just more data for you to consider: 1. I've found many CHOMA in Zboj and Ulic' (Slovakia) living there presently and as far back as 1800. This is right on the Ukraine border. That said, the HIRJACK is also a good alternative. 2. My cousin in Kosice married a HIRAK. Could be from Hummenne, many people from east went to Kosice for work in the last 50 years. I honestly don't know where he was from. 3. "At least the first two were of Greek Orthodox Catholic church." I presume you mean Greek Catholic? > -----Original Message----- > From: Lynda Campbell [mailto:lrcampbell@ns.sympatico.ca] > Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 1:27 PM > To: SLOVAKIA-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: birth records > > > Can someone advise whether it will be possible to source > birth records for following: > > John Choma, born 7 October 1883, Lukov > Theresa Monasky [?Mochnaska/Mochnacka?], born 27 Feb 1886, Lukov > > Michael Herrick [?Hirjak/Hirjk?], born 20 August 1884, > Hummene Anna Jusco [?Juryska/Jurzko?], ??c1884 Hummene? > > Given the dates and places of birth, assuming these are > correct, are records available for this period of time in > these places?
