	plafleur: Sipka Origins I am looking for a Josef (Joseph) Sipka who was married to Julia Schmitt. They were both born in 1871 and were married in 1898. Their Ellis Island record says they immigrated to the US on November 24, 1901 with their 1 year old son Lajos (Leo). After going through Ellis Island they went to Chicago, Illinois and had 3 more sons. Their Ellis Island records says they were from Treboszto, Hungary. I have no clue where this town is, I would think somewhere near Germany since Schmitt is German and Julia's native tongue was German. Anyone with any help on either of these individuals would greatly appreciated. I am looking for Joseph's parents, his siblings, info about the town, anything.		29/02/2008, 20:31:59 #: 2008021733 post replyedit abuse? profile

	plafleur: Re: Sipka Origins Also Ellis Island Joseph is listed as a Gardener in Hungary. When he moved to Chicago, Illinois he opened a flower shop and sold flowers.		29/02/2008, 20:34:09 #: 2008021734 post replyedit abuse? profile

	kezdi: Re: Sipka Origins Dear plafleur, Treboszto -a.k.a. Kistorboszló-, Turoc County, of course was in Hungary until 1920, after that in Czechoslovakia, today in Slovakia and called Trebostovo. Hungary was not unlike the US, a big immigrant country, ethnic Germans lived in Hungary through the history, some from the 13th century. Hope this helps, Joseph from Calif.		29/02/2008, 23:40:15 #: 2008021742 post replyedit abuse? profile
