I was testing out the new CGSI site and the following was intriguing:

The Andrew (B1849) was married to Annie Tkach (B1857). She immigrated to America in 1884.

Minnesota State Census, 1895, Jackson County, Hunter Township shows Andrew (b1877), Annie (B1887), John (B1889), Mary (B1892 and Matt (B1895). Andrew (B1877) and others after were born in Illinois.

I think the US Census are in agreeent that first of your family was probably Andrew (B1849) but unfortunately, immigrants identified theselves as from their "country" of origion and not specific town.Those from Slovakia,usually identified as "Hungarian" just as those from Bohemia identified as from "Astria". Moravians did all sorts of things! You might try some of the Jewish Genealogy sources. Tthink it's JewishGen.org!

To Andrew (B1887) was born a son Andrew R. (B6 May 1900) in Illinois. His Draft Registration, 1917-1918 shows him to be living at 4 Lakefield, Jackson County.  His Height and Build were Medium and his eyes and hair were Black. There is a note that indicates "Fits by regular spells".

I think  that your interest in Pennsylvania may be for later generations. I suggest you access MyHeriage.com and FamilySearch.org for more information. FamilySearch is free but you must register.

Good luck!

There is an Andrew Fetcho in the 1920 and 1930 US census who is married to Anna. They lived in Hunter, Jackson County, MN. I saw your other post in the queries section.

I know the Fetchos lived in Jackson Co MN They also lived in Grundy Co Illinois and Pennsylvania. They can to the US from Slovakia in the early 1880s. I would like information about Pennsylvania and Slovakia. I do not have a village name. Any suggestions about how to determine what it is. Any help would be appreciated.
