Nance the 1930 census has 24 Hranka's listed
Find a Grave has 8 listed
Social Security Death index has 20 listed
Plus I found this here:
http://www.ellisisland.org/search/passRecord.asp?pID=605212010216&a...
and has others too
this one may be him as you have him from Kuslove
but the above has him from Kuselava
Very similar in spelling
Here you will find the whole listing of Hranka's:

Hope that this helps

Jane, thanks for looking him up. I too found a George Hranka in Ill. Didn't find the part of him being in a State Hospital, tho. I will check into him deeper,tho.I don't think the years match. him, I will try to match him up.with my great-grandpa. Will chech on find a grave site too.I found some Hrankas in Clearfield Co. Pa. and in Pestone Cemetery in DUBOIS, Ill. They may be related. will check on the contributers of those sites. Thank you again for looking him up. I never knew anything past my grandma,Agnes Hranka, daughter of George till Tom Vadjik got in touch with me on this site, and I found out he is my cousin in Canada. I am in California. nancy cole

Nancy, I went through Ancestry and the ONLY George Hranka I found was one in the 1920 Census. He was listed as being in the Kankakee State Hospital, Kankakee, IL, was 44 years old, single and born in IL. If he miss "missing" and in a State Hospital in IL... that *might* be a reason he couldn't be found. (?) Speculation, I know, but maybe something to be checked into.

Good luck!!

Looking for information on the Guzinsky family from Schulykil, PA area. Some family may have changed spelling to guzinski, gayzinsky. One named Boleslaw Guzinsky moved to New Jersey, one named Adam Guzinsky moved to VA. Any info, please let me know.

I'm researching Abraham Reifsnyder, born 1804 in PA, and his wife Mary Schnell, born 1811 in PA. They were married 10/27/1833, and had a son John S. Reifsnyder, born 7/7/1844 in New Hanover, PA. Need more info on them and their parents.

Thanks,

Ron

I am researching my maternal GGgrandparents John S. and Catharine McCormack (various spellings). They show up in the 1870 census-Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., Indiana. Both age 29, born in Ireland. Then in the 1880 census they appear in New Castle, Lawrence Co., Pa he is 40 and his wife is 43. I am sure these are the same people despite the ages as the children are the same in both. Catharine dies in New Castle in 1882 and John dies in Pittsburgh in late March 1889. The same day his brother Edward dies in Ohio. It would appear they both worked in glass factories and died of complications of working there. Their oldest daughter Catherine is my Ggrandmother. She married James Hoover and their daughter Margaret E. is my Grandmother. Catherine later married Charles H. Jones, It appears they lived in Braddock/Pittsburgh. My Grandmother Margaret E. Hoover/Jones m. Rev. James William Clair. The Clairs also lived in Braddock.

While I am unsure of the accuracy of this connection, the only group that appears to be them in passenger lists is in July 1857 where their names appear on a manifest from Londonderry arriving in Philadelphia.
