ccaswick: Kolbas/Brezina; Surname: MITRO

I'm researching the history of Kolbasa/Brezina -- there is very little on the internet about this village. I believe my grandmother, Maria Mitro, and her ancestors came from this village. If anyone has any history I'd be curious to know more, especially if there are any churches where I can get birth/marriage, etc. records. Any replies are appreciated. Thanks.

hmikita: Re: Kolbas/Brezina; Surname: MITRO

My great grandmother's name was Maria Metro, who married Michael Metro and I believe came to US in 1890's from Hungary. She had three daughters: Kathryn(Mikita), Susan (Coleman?) and Sophia(Barnett) all born in early 1900's in either PA or Gary, IN. Is there a connection?

ccaswick: Re: MITRO

Wow, got a letter from a 2nd cousin in Brezina -- which used to be called Kolbaszo -- however, I cannot find that on the 1910 Zemplen map -- but I'll keep trying. I wrote a letter to the mayors of nearby towns and one or more of them forwarded the letter to an english speaking college student in Brezina.

What you mean you can not find it?
http://mapy.atlas.sk

http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910 click on Zemplen megye
Locate Toketerebes and go South-West and there it is Kolbaso by a river Ronyva.

csiki: Re: MITRO

Hi Caye !
I attached a historical map of "Hegyalja" - the field of Tokaj vine, with its own history - on which is Kolbása appears as Kolbasz (in the part M1, south from Kozma and north from Villy)and a photo about the steeple of its church. You can see this is a greek-catholic village. Last summer I visited this village in Slovakia near to the Hungarian border (I am a hungarian) because some ancestors of my father-in-law came from that village. I ask you is any Matyas (called hungarian Mátyás)in your grandmother's family. There are some thombs of Mátyás's in the cemetery.
Best regards:
Attila Csiki
