Am looking for location of the town called Csutortok. My grandparents emigrated from there in 1910. It appears on a 1910 map roughly east southeast of Bratislava. I am wondering if it still exists, if it has been erased by war and politics, or absorbed by

Beverly,
The village still exists and has the Slovak official name "Stvrtok na Ostrove" As there live more than 20% of ethnic Hungarians, the alternative name is Csallóközcsütörtök.
I live in Samorin, what is about 10 km from Stvrtok na Ostrove

Thanks for the help, Z! I did find where it has slightly modified its name to Stvrtok na Ostrove, and is practically absorbed by Bratislava now. My next chore is to see if I can dig up g/parents birth/baptism records or a marriage record. Getting no help

Thank you so much for the Hungarian alternative! I recognize it from some of the historic maps I've located online. Your on-location confirmation is so very appreciated! I am coming to sing with a small choir in '05 to Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. With

Your welcome, Beverly
I would not say that the town of Stvrtok na Ostrove was absorbed by the city of Bratislava. It has its own zip code and about 8.5 km from town of Zlate Klasy.

In those old times there was a Csutortok, Detreko-Csutortok, Vag-Csutortok and Csutortokhely.

By any chance SARISZKY or LESNYAK are related to your ancestors? Those are the two surnames that the Petreks on EI mentioned.
Surprisingly the surname S'ARIS'SKY and LESN'AK list in Spissky Stvrtok. Family went to family in those old days.

Zlatica,
Thank you for correcting me, as I live near Stvrtok na Ostrove, I immediatelly responded without checking other Stvrtoks (=Thursday) in Slovakia. There as also many towns called Stredas (=Wednesday), Sobotas (=Saturday), etc. in Slovakia. I th

Peter, that's an interesting tidbit. Been working a bit on vocabulary and wondered why a town would be named "Thursday"! I was trying to attach religious significance to it. This is my mother's line I'm chasing and they are all deeply Catholic. My mother,

Interesting you should mention those names. My grandfather had to list a "friend" but I could not determine if it was in States or Hungary. That person was MARTIN LESNIAK. Understanding how names are modified (PETREK became "PATRICK" here in States betwee

I went to check on the EI manifest of Maria and Maria PETREK. Have no idea why there is Dolyan and Gorgo. Those are two different towns.
It should have been Dolyan, Szepes (megye) instead. Well I think so.
Well anyway, Dolyan is in Szepes

Went back to Ellis Island to look for the Martin Lesniak you mentioned.
An Istvan LESCHNIAK was from Csutortokhely and going to Hubbard, OH
A Janos LESNAK was going to his brother Marton (Martin)living in Hubbard, OH
He has a set of numbers by his name

Thanks your getting back to me. Just wanted you to read my other three posts so you would not be going on a wild goose chase. You did mention a Dolyan which is now Dolany in the Spis region.
Happy New Year.
