³ukasz: genealogy
I am looking the roots of my family, which probably came from Hungary to Poland.
I live in Poland in the South of Wielkoplska District. From 2002 till this day I am creating my family tree.
The oldest ancestor whom I found in Church's bases is Jozef Leja who was born about 1830. I didn not find where he came from and who was his father or mather.

If You can help me I will be grateful

Leja: Re: genealogy
Hallo! Ex
cuse my english. Is really poor -Sorry. I just found your note- you are looking for family Leja -root history. I am Leja too. My father is Jozef Leja, my brother Jozef Leja too. My name is Zdenko Leja - and I am from Slovakia.
Some Leja“s live is Slovakia and in Czech republic too. These are my family. What I know some Leja“s lived in yugoslavia. But they were probably children from my grandfather-brother. He was glas worker (repair broken windovs, etc.). They trawelled around Europe.- From city to city were looking for job. But always thez come beck to Slovakia. Their families lived in Slovakia.
We (my family) think our root came from Poland (probably) - because grandfather was from Poland-Slovak republic border.

I wrote to you because I am imteresting for family history too. We know family history only for three generations ahear. Then the knowledges about Leja missed.

If I helped to you, I would be glad.
And if you want to write me, you will welcome.

Bye bye

³ukasz: Re: genealogy
Hello Zdenko

I am happy that somebody answer my question especially If it is somebody who
live close to Poland
Thank You for Your information. They are very helpfull for me and explains
that my Family (our) lived and live now not only in Poland.

As you said Your father's and brother's name is Józef. It is great because
it shows that our ascentors were used to use this same names. My
grandfather's name was Józef - he died in 2003. The oldest ancestor whom I
found in Church's archives, was Józef too. He was born about 1800 and lived
in the south of Wielkoplska district (You can check village of Raczyce ) Ha
had a son (and few more) - Antoni Leja who was born in 1839 and died on
14.01.1929. Antoni Leja had a son who had this same name - Antoni The last
one was born in 1889 and died in 1956. They were farmers and had Mill.
What I can tell you more is that my family lived in XVII century (1600) in
Galicja - Nowodays it is District of Opole ( Gorzów Sl¹ski, Skorogoszcz,
Brynica, Krasiejów)

My family is very big. I have 20 cousins - especially girls but 4 of them
are boys in the line of Leja family. I have younger brother.

Let me know if You are satisfied about my information.

If You know somethig more let me know too, please

Best wishes for You and Your all Family

£ukasz Leja

(born 16.07.1977r. )

Zdenko Leja: Re: genealogy
Hi Lukasz
I received you e-mail.I was looking for your e-mail address, but I found nothing. So I am sending my address by this way. It is: zdenko.leja -a-t- fsi.utc -d-o-t- sk -this is my work (office) address. I am working at Zilinas University In Žilina (SK).
Sorry I forgot and I wasn“t here for few days too. For this reason I didn“t answered to you earlier.
I could check my mother for some questions about family root. I am albe to sent you a short list of Leja family geneaology in Slovakia. Probably it woun“t be complete.Yes, I am satisfied - becouse I found somebody who is Leja, who knows something about us.
You will not believe but probably 6 months ago we (my mohter) met in Martin (SK) another one Leja. He was a grandson of my grandfatrer“s - brother. He was the one from the east of Slovak republic (SK). He is a soldier and now is working in probably Liptovskż Mikulᚠor Martin too. He is abou 26 years old. But at the moment I havent the connection to him.
And me? As you road your age my age is 26. And in the october I will be 27. We three are probably the same generation (not for geneaology- but for our eges).
So
Good luck
And please send me Your e-mail address.

You need to find an US document that would have your ancestor's place of birth. His father's first name in Hungary was Karoly.
