I received a post from someone named Palo about my paternal grandfather's origins in Eastern Slovakia. Can anyone translate the message for me? A big thank you to anyone who can help.

Hi George
Yes, I am from Nizny Hrusov. The surname GARBEL is rare, for sure in this region. My grandfather was Jan born sometime around year 1907. I do not have any further link/information. Grandfather's parents are burried in same cemetary but no years

Zlatica, Thanks for quick response on the translation request! I was late in spotting the post from Palo. Looks like there is not a whole lot to follow up on, but it is nice to see the family name re-confirmed in Nizny Hrusov.

Your welcome, George.
Was your ancestor from Nizny Hrusov? Did you go thru the church records for ancestral information? Don't know how young is Palo but if he is young, he might not be interested in genealogy, yet.

I haven't been actively researching for the last year or so. My paternal grandfather's citizenship papers cited Ormezo, Zemplin Comitat, as his origin. Turns out that Ormezo is now Strazske. But, the name did not "scan' for Strazske, but did for Ninzny

If you go on Ancestry and Genforum (Slovak board) you will find me there. Not sure if this site will let me post any websites but I will try. I did have few sites in the post but it would not let me post so took them out.
Yes, Ormezo, Zemple
