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.

Previous posts have shared records of some of the bigger families living in the parish or who have known descendants gone to America.

Here are family records for those whose surnames died out or who left but a handful of records in Udol or Hajtovka, but who still may have descendants today.
