Hanacek Family of Vysne-Ruzbachy

[Allison Batchelor]

I have been doing geneology research regarding my husband's grandmother ANNA HANECAK --also spelled Hanecsak. She was born in Rusbachy (Vysne Ruzbachy), Czech. on June 28, 1890. She came to America via Bremen, Germany on Dec 12, 1912 (age 22)with Janos Hanecsak (age 32 at the time unsure if this was a brother)--She went to Johnstown, PA where she stayed with John Hanecsak--?brother? Her father was named Janos Hanacek.

She married another Slovak in Cohoes, NY. --Steve Smith (Smij? was written on local census in Cohoes, NY) Surname is not clear as Smith is not a Slovak name. He was born in Lakcova, (the next town over) on Feb 11, 1883. He entered New York in Feb. 1906 . Any ideas on this are welcome.

===========================================================
The towns are correctly spelled as Vysne Ruzbachy and Lackova. They are
both in present day Slovakia.

Slovakia phone directory at
http://www.infobel.com/en/world/Teldir.aspx?Ct=Europe&Co=Slovak
Republic&Dn=Telefónny Zoznam SR&url=http://www.zoznamst.sk/eng/index.html
has 58 Hanacek listings, none in Vysne Ruzbachy.

The directory has 57 Hanecak listings, 14 in Vysne Ruzbachy.

The directory has no Hanecsak listings.

The directory has no Smij listings.

The directory has 15 Sipka (possible spelling) listings, none in Lackova.

Maybe some letters to those Hanecak individuals in Vysne Ruzbachy would get
you some answers. You don't really say what you are looking for. Are you
interested in ancestors or relatives in Slovakia or in the United States?

Let me know if you need some help with the directory. Good luck on your
search.
