| Chaun: Mikulcza Mikuleza | My father, Charles Mikuleza (Mikulcza) and his older brother Jerry were placed in an orphanage in Alton, Illinois at a very young age (both under 5 years old). The family name was misspelled when they were placed in the orphanage.
We learned of my grandfather John Mikulcza and uncles George, Charles and Michael through family research. Most of the family settled near St. Louis Missouri and some of in the north eastern united states.
I grew up without grandparents on the Mikuleza side. We (my sister and I) know very little and would like to learn more about our family roots. I never met any Mikuleza (or Mikulcza) outside my brothers and sisters. I am the oldest Mikuleza of my father's children. Kevin and Kenny Mikuleza are my cousins.
Before he died, a letter was written to a sibling or cousin of mine from our great-grand father giving some light as to why my father was orphaned. (Apparently, my grandfather was a "black sheep!")
I am interested in learning about the family history: the origin of our roots, stories, struggles and triumphs. i would like to learn about what members of the family do and where they live.
We have obtained documentation that is hard to interpret. At times there is Russian, Hungarian and Romanian facts about the family. When my wife and I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in 1996, she met at doctor (older man) who was a first generation Hungarian. He recognized our last name and claimed it was Romanian. He then mentioned his hatred for Romanians and me (Apparently there is some bad blood between Romanians and Hungarians.).
I would like to know if I am indeed Romanian or Hungarian. If for nothing more than set that crazy doctor straight!!!
I would love to see picture of the family if there are some to share.
Can you help validate any of this or share any thing you know. If you think there is a tie, I would be happy to call you.
Thank you for responding. Where do you live? |
