buzzburza: Burza & Zabrocrecky

My father, Joesph Burza, was born in Zabrocrecky in 1910. His father went to the US in 1913 leaving wife Anna and son behind. WW I prevented my father and grandmother from leaving until 1920. I want to visit this village this coming spring but I can find nothing about it, even from the Slovak Embassy in New Delhi. This Radix Forum is marvelous and is a prime example of the sort of things possible.

There is a town named Zabokreky and Zabokreky nad Nitrou.
http://mapy.atlas.sk for locating a town

www.zoznamst.sk SK's phone site

The Ellis Island website is listing Anna BURZA arriving in 1920 from Jibokrcky Nitrfa, Slovakia. I would say it should be Zabokreky, Nitra region of Slovakia. Istvan (Stefan) Burza too was from Nyitbroszambokret/ Nyitrazsambokret which is now Zabokreky nad Nitrou.
The old 1910 Hungarian megye map is at :

This Zabokreky nad Nitrou is South of Banovce nad Bebravou, West of Partizanske and North-East of Topolcany.

The town of Banovce's phone book is listing BURZA and much more listings in Partizanske's phone book. They could be your distant relatives. You might want to consider sending them a letter with your family information, your e-mail, photo of your ancestor for that extra visual aid before your trip. Would be a shame you being there and not connect with the relatives.

Some websites :

www.banovce.sk
www.partizanske.sk
www.vysoketatry.sk
www.tatry.sk
www.poprad.sk
www.zamky.sk
www.hrady.sk

Anna BURZA arriving in 1920 with her son Josef left a father Josef STEVANKA in ????. The surname S'TEVANKA lists in Partizanske's, Banovce nad Bebravou's, Kovarce's, Prusy's, Topolcany's, Preselany's phone book. In other words, you still have some distant relatives.
