Subject: [HUNGARY-L] BURAS and PRIEZCOL
Date: Sun, 7 Nov 1999 13:18:56 EST


Please help me find my mother's birthplace and record of birth. My mother
and grandmother immigrated to the USA on the USS POTSDAM in March 1914. I
have the following facts on my mother MARIA PALKO b. May 13, 1912 in
Austria-Hungary place she lived before immigrating Also Szecs. Her father
supposedly JOZEF PALKO immigrated to USA in 1910. Her mother MARIA BURAS
married on October 10, 1910 at St Nicholas Church in Ezperges, now Presov to
Jozef Pauko Priezcol as stated on marriage certificate.

My questions are: 1-How did name change to PALKO at time of immigration?
2-MARIA BURAS b. June, 1884 as an illegitimate child of MARIA BURAS
3-MARIA BURAS also had two brothers ANDRAS BURAS no father listed on
his birth certificate and JAN BURAS who had JOHN BURAS AND MARY MATZKO
listed as parents

My thoughts are my G-Grdmtr had the BURAS name on the childrens birth record
and finally married JOHN BURAS before birth of JAN BURAS. Also my G-Grdmtr
is buried in Presov under the name MARIA BURAKOVA and is alone in the
cemetery. As you can see by my mothers birth date JOZEF PALKO was already ln
the USA so I doubt he is my mothers father and I would appreciate someone
helping me figure out this dilemma of mine. Who is JOZEF PAUKO PRIEZCOL?
Who are his parents? He was supposedly born March 24, 1886 if indeed he is
JOZEF PALKO.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?
