Surname: Pavlov-Minar, Canik, Papincsak
-------------------------

I am wondering if anyone could help me. Ok, where do I begin? Well, I was
researching my Maternal Grandparents and,to make a really long story short,
I hit a brickwall. I wrote to the Presov archives, in Slovakia, for help
to continue my research. The name I was researching was Minar or (Milnar,
Mylnar).

To my surprise the name Minar turned out to be an alias. Apparently the
name is connected to the name Pavlov (Paulov) The archives in Presov sent
a Pedigree chart, starting as follows:

1. G-G-G-Grandfather, "Michal Minar" born abt 1770.
2. G-G-Grandfather "Michal Pavlov" born 1807.
3. G-Grandfather "Jan Pavlov-Minar" born 1848
4. Grandfather "Jan Minar-Pavlov" born 1878.

I found my Great-Grandfather baptismal record and he was baptized with
the name Jon Pavlov-Minar. My Grandfather's birth records show that he
was baptized with the name Minar-Pavlov and marriage records show his name
as Jan Pavlov not Minar. When he came to the U.S. he used the name Minar
not Pavlov. Definitely the birth record that Presov found has my Grandfather's
name as Minar-Pavlov and Alias is written in a notation on that record.

I hope I have not been too confusing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you Peggy
