| The name Kisiczki and Rakacki do have a certain Slavic ring to them but the village of Gadna is in Abauj-Torna megye and in Hungary.
The old 1910 Hungarian megye map is at : http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910 The Braviss that passed thru EI are Greek, British and English. The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) is listing a Greek Catholic church records from Oroszgadna aka Gadna. You can order the films and gather ancestral information if this was the religion of your ancestors. The Slovak Republic's phone book is listing a name BRAVIS in town of Stropkov and Nova Lubovna. This could be your New Lublen. The town of Nova Lubovna had the following names during A-H empire : Uj-Lublo, Neo-Lublovia, Neu-Lublau, Nowa Lubowna, Ujlublo. Why do you suspect a gypsy connection? I sort of doubt that there is anything to that. The city of Kosice's phone book is listing a Rakacky. www.kosice.sk The LDS website is listing as having in the library a Roman Catholic records from Nova Lubovna. www.zoznamst.sk http://mapy.atlas.sk for location of a town www.iarelative.com www.slovakfolkcrafts.com www.tccweb.org www.carpatho-rusyn.org www.slovakfolkcrafts.com www.tatry.sk www.zamky.sk www.slovaklinks.com http://feefhs.org/slovak/frg-slrp.html The Ellis Island website is listing Kisiczki, Rakacki, Bravis,and Bravisz as passing thru that port to America. The town of Nova Lubovna falls into the Szepes / Spis region of Slovak Republic. | ||
