This family is part of my one-place study of St. Dimitry’s Greek Catholic (today Byzantine Catholic) Church parish, serving Udol and Hajtovka, Slovakia, covering the years 1827-about 1920. I will be sharing family records, roughly once a week, until all families in the parish are posted. Be aware that ages at marriage and death frequently don’t match baptismal records, when found. If you have ancestors who lived in these two villages and would like to receive an invitation to a shared Dropbox folder, please leave a comment and I will contact you.

Kseniak is a common surname in Eastern Europe and is spelled a number of different ways. In Udol, alone, it is also spelled KSZENYAK, KSZENAK and TSZENIAK. In another branch of my family tree, my great grandmother is Maria Kacsenyak, yet another variation of the same name.
