| tpiatak: Cleveland Piataks | My great-grandfather Joseph Piatak emigrated to Cleveland from Kolackov, Slovakia in 1899, followed by his wife Mary (nee Zoldak) in 1900. Four of Joseph's brothers also came to Cleveland from Kolackov at around the same time: George, John, Michael, and Jacob. These brothers and their descendants accounted for most of the Piataks living in Cleveland, and if you have Piatak relatives or ancestors who lived in Cleveland, chances are we're related and I'd like to hear from you.
A group of us have also contributed to a website on Kolackov, the ancestral village of my line of Piataks. It can be found at http://www.saed.kent.edu/~kolackov/ |
