Your welcome Patti.
By any chance you have any old correspondence or old address? Would be good to establish a connection before your trip to SK. Just because the surname does not show up in Cemerne or Puste Cemerne does not mean that no family there. P

Zlatica,
No, we have nothing. The only way we found out that we think it is cemerne is a friend of my uncles said that his mother came from the same town as my grandmother. All we have is that she was born between 1896 to 1898. She came over to ellis isl

Was she naturalized citizen? Did she have social security numbers? Those would be few places to look for her precise place of birth. Might someone have her old passport?
13 III 2006 22:38, from: Mick
Pati,
do you have some more information about her? I mean information about religion, names of her parents, siblings. Where from do you have information about village Cemerne close town Kosice? Who came from this village?

Zlatica,
When she died, there were no records that she kept, no passport, old letters etc.
I went to the local court house and found her marriage certificate. This is where I found out that her father was deceased and mothers name is elizabeth (I think)

You are a godsend. Yes, this is correct on that she went to hostetter, pa. The name Fundas is not familiar, but I think it was Farkas.

Mick,
I am finding out (from this site) that cemerne does not seem to be the town she came from.
Another emailer, has found out that she came from Kamenica. I am not sure what Kamenica. I know there are several.
Her religion was catholic. Mothers name

The information about uncle Fundas is on her "Ellis Island" manifest. Make sure you look at both pages of her manifest.
Would anyone in the family recall a word used like Zemplin, Saris, Spis? That would narrow down in which region we should l

It is possible that this Verona is not your ancestor. The 1930 census, does it say Na-naturalized or Al-alien? You need to locate either her naturalization petition or her G-639 Alien Registration Form. Have you located the church she married M

She could have been naturalized with her husband. Do you know if he was naturalized? You would go to the courthouse that is in town or in the area. My grandfather lived in Duquesne, Pa and his naturalization was in Philadelphia's archive. My...
