I have some updated information on the Botjanski, Botchanski, Botchansky name.
My cousin told me that the Botchanskys came from Szarvas, Hungary--there was some kind of persecution going on and two brothers and their six sons fled Hungary, in the late 1700's. They migrated to Selenca, Yugoslavia.
Michael Botchansky and his 4 sons Jano b. 1764, Andrej b. 1760, Martin b. 1770 and Duro b. 1766.
Michael's brother John Botchansky who married Pavlia Gudzi--they are my 5th great grandparents through their son Martin b. 1760. John and Pavlia also had son Adam b. 1766.
They changed their names from Botchansky with a y to Botjanski with an I. Also, the original spelling was Bochansky to Botjanski, Botchanski.
Why the name change?
Was there something going on in Hungary at that time?
