| DonnaK: Re: Tomcsanyin | Mike,
Most of my information on the Voronyaks of Strazske is limited to a transcription of family names from the census records. My primary area of interest in Strazske is the Kudravi & Maczenko families. My GF's sister Ilonna (Helen) Kudravi married a Janos Voronyak on June 3, 1889 in Strazske. He was born on 4/1/1869 and was the son of Janos Voronyak and Zsuzsi Cserba (sp?), who lived in House #68 in 1869. I have no idea whether Janos & Ilonna remained in Strazske, or emigrated to America (my GF & 2 sisters did come to the states, and one sister & her husband actually returned to Strazske prior to 1912.) Anyway, my notes show that the "other" Voronyaks in Strazke in 1869 were: House 27(a) - Mihaly Voronyak; House 27 (b) another Janos Voronyak; House 69-I Gyorgy Voronyak; House 69-II another Mihaly Voronyak; House 88 Zsuzsi Voronyak (widow of someone named ? Suhajda). The Voronyaks were all Greek Catholics; the village itself seems almost evenly divided RC/GC. Of course these listed homes also included extended families, but I did not transcribe all names. You can get the census and church records from the LDS, file numbers are: 0722762 (census) and 1792088 (GC church records). I don't know about you, but I find that the limited number of first names (Janos, Mihaly, Gyorgy, etc.) makes distinguishing "your" family from someone else's very difficult! |
