This site is being updated to WordPress. It will slowly come back online in bits and pieces. This update is long overdue. The Nizna Mysla Births, Marriages, and Deaths databases (menu above) still work, but the rest of the site has been deleted and is being redone.
The photo at left is the Roman Catholic church in Pereces, Hungary, taken in 1995. The church appeared to be no longer active, hence the peeling paint on the exterior. The cemetery behind the church was well cared for.)
A Word for Researchers
The Nižná Myšl’a Roman Catholic parish records included the villages of Nižná Myšl’a, Vyšná Myšl’a, Nižný Čaj, Vyšný Čaj, Blažice, Ždaňa, Škároš, and Bohdanovce, and a smattering of entries from other nearby villages. Click on the map at left to see a larger map of the area. The major villages in the parish are highlighted in yellow.
- Nagy-Ida is present-day Vel’ká Ida
- Felsö Mislye is present-day Vyšná Myšl’a. The vowel at the end of the first word (Felsö) is actually written as an ‘o’ with two elongated strokes above it. I use the umlaut ö as the closest I can come with the software I have.
- Alsó Mislye is present-day Nižná Myšl’a
- Bologd is present-day Blažice
- Zsadány is present-day Ždaňa
- Szkáros is, of course, Škároš
- Garbócz is presumably Garbóczbogdány, which is present-day Bohdanovce. The parish made a distinction between Garbócz and Bogdány, so it is possible they were once separate towns that were joined into one.
Family Newsletters
The annual family reunion is held at Duman Lake Park in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, on the first Saturday in August. Every year from 1989 to 2004 a newsletter was written that contained photos and stories about our extended family of Rebars, Oravetzes, Kozaks, Herpaks, Kuzios, Prusaks, Whites, Kovachiks, and many others. After 2004, we dropped back to a newsletter every two years until we ran out of submissions. They are a wealth of family historical information, and a good source of photos of our extended family.
