Yep…my grandfather from the Slovak side of the family came to America around 1904. He was recruited by an Ohio company as an engineer to work on pump systems. My father was born in 1907.
Do you happen to know where in Slovakia he was from? My great grandparents on my mom’s mom’s side were from the Northeastern part near the Ukrainian/Polish border. Rusyns as I said.
