Prisztas/Pristas Family of Udol, Slovakia & America

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.

Members of this family emigrated to America and settled in the Passaic, New Jersey area. The family spelled their name PRISTAS.

Note, too, that two aliases were used by family members – Arendacs and Dornics, so some of these families have no blood connections to the Pristas clan.
