Is this the family as found in the 1930 Frazer, Allegheny Co PA census?
Name Age
Adam Voytek 35 Slovak arr US 1910 Naturalized
Mary Voytek 34 Slovak arr US 1902 Alien
Joseph Voytek 15
Elizabeth Voytek 4/12
Joseph Bucha 43 Boarder
The family below appears in the 1920 Tarentum PA Census, could this be them?
Name Age
Joe Vogtek 39 Slovak born Nitra arr US 1906
Mary Vogtek 25 Slovak born Trenchin arr US 1907
Annie Vogtek 5
Emil Vogtek 4
[4 3/12]
Joe Vogtek 1
[1 5/12]
The birthyear HE gave on his Social Security app was 1893, but the only accurate source would be the parish records in Slovakia.... as often people did not know their correct birthdate
Name: Adam Voytek
SSN: 541-22-8524
Last Residence: 97374Scio, Linn, Oregon, United States of America
Born: 24 Dec 1893
Died: 20 Feb 1988
State (Year) SSN issued: Oregon (Before 1951)
This is also listed on his Oregon Death Record.... but then death certificates and obits can be among the most inaccurate records we may find
Name: Voytek, Adam
County: Linn
Death Date: 20 Feb 1988
Certificate: 88-03862
Age: 94
Birth Date: 24 Dec 1893
Spouse: Mary
Just look at the age found on Mary's Death Certificate... by the reckoning of the census records her age is off by about 20 years!
Name: Voytek, Mary
County: Marion
Death Date: 1 Oct 1970
Certificate: 15344
Age: 95
Spouse: Adam
