Can't wait to watch this. My maternal grandmother's parents both came from Jakubany.

Did you like it? I think in Slovakia there are two villages called Jakubany, or two villages with similar spelling variations. This village is near Stara L'ubovna.

Enjoyed this very much....the inside of the church reminded me very much of the church in which my mother (and grandmother) was baptized in Phillipburg, NJ, which was patterned after the church in Jakubany. Are you perhaps related to the Vargas from Phillipsburg?

Also, wondering if there is any way to download this video and send it to a distant cousin in Colorado who tried to view it, but because she has dial up it made is quite impossible.

Thanks! PM if you prefer.

Vargas in Phillipburgs? I don't think so but I wouldn't rule it out. You have seen the Jakubany Church Records site, correct?

However, my grandmother Bucko (butch-co) was born in Phillipsburg but her family went back when she was a year old. Like most immigrants.

Right now that video is too big to load on to Youtube, but I will try to make it smaller at some point. I'll be at the Carpatho-Rusyn Center in Pittsburgh this weekend. Will you be there?

There were still Buchkos (sp. var) in Phillipsburg in the 1970s. Somehow, I think there might even have been a Buchko in our family tree. I think I've been to the church web site, but I certainly haven't been there in a while. I'll check it out.

A lot of families in Phillipsburg seem to have moved out/on, but my grandmother's family and extended family seemed to stay put for the most part. Her maiden name was Kupcha (Kupcsa) and her mother's maiden name was Zeyock (Dziak).

Yes, there was another family of Buckos in Phillipsburg but I don't think we are directly related. Bucko and Varga are like Smith and Jones over there.

Kupcsa wouldn't be pronounced Kupcha, I don't think. Of course it is your name but I think it would be Kup-ch-sh-aa or Kup-s-sh-aa.
