Stuck in a nasty frame? Break free here
(updated 15 February 2002)
Here you will find the descendany charts for the four main
names in my family tree plus a little bit of history on each family. The
to/from dates represent documented dates of the family's beginning and end.
To my way of thinking, a family dies when there are no male heirs to carry
on the name.
Paternal Family |
Maternal Family |
The
Stary
Family
Stary, originally spelled Stari, is Czech meaning "old". It
is also a term of endearment used between a husband (stari) and wife (stara).
Frank Stary immigrated in 1909 from Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, by way
of Germany. His wife, Mary, and two sons, Frank and Louis, followed in 1913.
The family settled on Cleveland's west side where they continue to
flourish. |
The
Murany/Muranko
Family
Andrew Murany's birth name was Muranko. He changed it to the
Hungarian version, Muranyi, after joining the Hungarian railroad. He immigrated
to America in 1907 to find a better life for his family. His wife, Maria,
followed with 7 children in 1908. Sometime after they settled in Ohio, the
"i" was dropped from the surname. One of the sons shortened the name even
more dropping the "y". |
The
Kozikowski
Family
Adam Kozikowski immigrated to America from Poland in 1907.
To the best of this researcher's knowledge, he lived in Cleveland, Ohio his
entire life. After his first wife, Anna, died in 1936, Adam remarried gaining
four stepchildren who kept their father's name. Although Adam's bloodline
is still alive, the family name died when Frank Kozikowski changed his birth
name to Ross. |
The
Vargo
Family
Not much is known about this side of my family. There are
indications that the name may have been "Varga" at one point in time. Stephen
Vargo and his family came to Ohio from Galeton, Pennsylvania but immigration
to America is unknown. |
The
Tarnay-Turdos-sy
Family
This is the oldest line in my family. Information was generously
provided by Dennis Tarnay. This family married into the Murany/Muranko
family. |
