| Attila Andruska: Re: contact with family | Hello Peter,
I thuoght it might be interesting to answer at least partly to your query. I am an Andruska from Slovakia, living in Bratislava. Was born in district city called Levice which is in our understanding the center of our homeland. Andruskas are scattered in villages around the city.Though I am a Hungarian, many of the families are Slovaks, the split occured in the mid 19. century. I was told, that our gran-grand pa came over to our region from Debrecen (Hungary)as a seasonal agricultural worker, being a taylor by profession. That time (late 18.century)the whole Central European region belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian Kingdom/Monarchy, so it was not too difficult. He fell in love with a local girl and the Upper Hungarian branch of the family has been introduced.
I am quite surprised that so many Andruskas live is Australia (from 1981 my sister too)and USA, but it is good to know that the 'family' is growing.
