Zlatica : maps

Mike

A good locator www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm
is locating village Viska in Ukraine, not far from Slovak Republic's border.
http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910 click on Ung megye to locate Viharos which is now Viska, Ukraine.
Use One step www.stevemorse.org to locate people coming from Viharos and Viska. You need to register to www.ellisislandrecords.org but no money.

Mike

Mary would have come thru as Maria or Marya.
Did locate a Maria LESAK coming thru Ellis Island from Siszkofalu (Viszkofalu). Is that your ancestor?

Zlatica i want to thank you for your help,you have done more for me in one night,that would have taken me a year.I have found the ship manifest on her arrival into the USA.Her name was spelled different than what she spelled it,they have Marya Lyszak,Viszku Hungary.It is my grandmother,because they have her traveling with a friend named Anna Burak,which was verified by my relations.I have also found my grandfathers arrival.I cannot express how happy you have made me.Now my work begins,can someone please tell me how i could get in touch with someone in the village of Vyshka,how would one go about contacting this village,it looks very remote to me,with no cities near-by,could someone please help with suggestions.Zlatica thank you very much and God Bless You Mike Her name is spelled Marya Lesak

Zlatica : Re: Lesak, Leszak

You are most welcome, Sgt. Mike

I usually get notified by Radixforum and this time nothing. Ah, how we wish the village was in Slovak Republic but it is not. The search for distant relatives or ancestral information not easy but it is getting there, this being Ukraine. The Slovak Republic allowed the LDS-Mormons to film the church records but Ukraine did not.
Come out on http://genforum.com and www.ancestry.com/community and post a query on appropriate boards. I know of few people whose ancestors were from Havaskoz aka Ljuta. www.iabsi.com/gen/public you can read upon one person's trip to the village.

Zlatica: Re: Lyszak

sgt.mike

Just a tidbit of information. Surname BURAK and LYSAK does show up in Slovak Republic. www.zoznamst.sk
Who knows maybe the Lysaks from SK were originally from Ruthenia - present Ukraine.

Your welcome.

See you posted on Bill Tarkulich's site. There were few FEDORNAKs that came thru EI from (mis)spelled Ticho. The village is in Ung megye, slightly South-East of Viharos as Tiha.

Look also at FEDERNAK, FODORNAK, FEDORSNIAK EI manifest.
Did find a phone listing for FEDORN^AK and FEDORN^AKOVA (female) in area code 056 which borders with Ukraine.

Zlatica : zlatalzbetka3 -a-t- ameritech -d-o-t- net

sgt mike

She did not mention an amount? Hard to say but for sure not the US minumum social security. I bet, maybe $100 but of course depends on her job. Yes, it is monthly.
You might post the question on Ukraine's Ancestry and Genforum.

SF: Viska

Hi there,
Not sure if I can help but my family came from the same village you are asking about and I went to visit it. It is a very little village. My family left to the States after the war, they were Jewish.
