rose skrivanie b. 1885 ?origin
OK.I hope that I am now posting to the correct board.I need some help with my Great Grandmother.Her name was Rose Skrivanie.She was born in 1885 and, in different references, her birthplace is listed differently.One says Hungary, another says Austria and yet another says Czechoslovakia.I've been told that Czechoslovakia did not exist then so that must not be very accurate.She immigrated to Michigan with her family in 1887 at age 2.She and her husband Martin Jacobs are listed in several of the US census starting in 1900 when she would have been about 15.In the 1930 Census, their language is listed as Slovak so that is why I am here.
Her parents names are supposedly Jacob Skrivanie and Mary ?Vakaro.They are the ones that I absolutely cannot find anywhere.I also do not have any immigration records for any of them.They lived up in Iron Mountain Michigan and, per my Dad, operated an Inn for transient workers.I have found an Anton Skrivani family up in MI that may be Rose's half brother but have no confirmation.
My goal would be to find the correct sirname and also a place of origin in Europe but have no idea where else to look.Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks,
Heidi
