What if the N was added to make the surname "Slavic" and thus actually the name is TOMCSANYI and TOMC'ANY, TOMC'ANYI in Slovak. Might be that the N on the end specifies that your ancestor was Greek Catholic. Was she? Just a speculation/observation.
The present Trnava pri Laborci, beside Tarnava, it was also known as Tarna. The village has Greek Catholic church. There is /was a town named Tomcsany in Turocz megye which is Tomcany and part of town of Martin.
