Re: Maria Balon Demkovich

Maria Balon was the daughter of Andras Balon and Anna Boszak in Zborov, northeastern Slovakia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire). Andras was the son of Andreas Ballon and Maria Tulik in Zborov. He married Anna Boszak (dtr. of Joseph and Susan) on Jan. 16, 1877, in Zborov. He was 24, she was 16.

I believe this Balon family is related to my Balon family (maternal great grandmother's fam), since they're from the same small town, but the records are so spotty I can't prove it.

The Demkoviches also can be found in the Zborov records. I've been there, but I did all my research in the U.S. through the LDS Church.

Let me know if I can help any further.

Searching for Balon from Murany Poland who settled in PA

countrygal5943 — 2006-12-28 04:56:28Z

I am searching for my sister-in-laws grandfathers family. His name was George W. Balon he was born 9 Feb. 1875 in Murany/Muran. According to his Declaration of Intention dated 6 May 1939 his birth name was Gyuro Balon and entered the US at New York 23 Sept. 1913 and resided in Johnstown, PA. He married Rosie (Vrbyar/Vrbjar) 5 April 1910 in Murany. His parents are listed as George and Susan Balon on his obit. On George's brothers obit, Martin Balon, his parents are listed as George and Suzanna Frisnak Balon. I found this last pair listed on familysearch.com, Georgius born 19 Apr. 1825 in Horakov, Tri???? (sorry can't read my own writing) Brno, Czech.I also found Guro Balon b. 18 April 1877 in Murany dated 12 June 1924, his wife is also listed as Rosie also born in Muran. He arrived in New York about 12 June 1911. A Frank Balon b. 4 Oct. 1876 in Swand?vinias, Poland, Russia. He married a Teresa. He declared his intention on 21 Sept 1906. He lived in Patton, Cambria Co., PA.
I beleve these last two are brothers of my George W. but cannot find any common thread.
Any info or lead will be greatly appreciated

Balon family from Besançon, France to Baltimore, MD

j_guzzetta — 2006-09-17 13:30:25Z

My great-great grandparents were Arthur (d. 1916 in france) and Celina Delbeck Balon from Besançon, France. Celina came to the US in 1916 with daughters Berthe and Gabrielle. Some time after 1924 Celina moved to Baltimore with her daughter Berthe and son-in-law Michael Pillires.

I cannot find these people on the 1930 census and the only proof I have that they were in Baltimore are Michael's WWII registration from 1942 and Michael's and Berthe's Death Index. I have nothing on Celina.

Thanks

Re: Angela Rak from Chicago, IL

Hi Phil-
I recently received a Church Marriage record (5-29-1911) from St.Adalbert's in Chicago, IL for John Kasza and Marianna (nee: Stryczek) and the two wittness were: Michael Stryczek and Angela Rak.

I confirmed from this record that Marianna and Michael Stryczek are siblings. Michael is my Great-Grandfather also married at St.Adalbert on 5-21-1912 and the parents names of each were a match.

In searching for a message postings on the "RAK" surname I linked to "Anelia Rak" in your message. I was hoping that Anelia and Angela Rak are one in the same.

The Marriage records for both Marianna and Michael show they were from: Niewiska, Kolbuszowa, Galicia. I have done some research on these City/County names and found that they are located in the Providence of Podkarpackie which is part of Poland and I think it was formerly under the Austrian Rule.

Please let me know if we have a connection here or not.
Thank you.

I have been searching for many years for a Shirley Ann Ballon who married Quentin Bradley Justice on January 31, 1959, and had two sons, Bradley Thomas Justice (born in Worcester, MA in August 1959) and Gerald Glenn Justice (born in Broward County Florida in December 1962). I am married to Gerald and he has been searching for his mother for most of his life and I have been trying to help since our marriage in 1990. Jerry was taken from Florida by his father in 1969 following the separation of his parents. Jerry has no contact with his father and has not been able to gain any information from him regarding his mother or her family. He has been desperate to find her and if there is ANY way this could be YOU, or if you have any information about her, please contact me as this would be the most wonderful gift I could possibly give my husband.

Hi Victoria,
The Balon that I am looking up, was Bartime. He was a Frenchman that married (in Washington Co. AL) Anne Richardson <my ggggrandmother> after the children were born and before they reached age 6 he disappeared and was 'spied' by one of the Sullivans (also of my line) to have become a preacher in Texas and with a whole new family. No one knows what became of him.

Looking for Nicolas Billon, Bilan, or ? Family history

rnisaak — 2005-07-06 15:22:20Z

We are looking for family history information of a Nicolas Bilan/Billon/? born 1896 in Poland and may have lived in the Ukraine before coming to North America. His father is listed as John and his mother as Pauline Jacoboski/Koboski/? He died in Richmond BC Canada in 1961. He was married to a Nettie Sydorko/Sayko/Fedoruk/? Children include Michael, Olga, Walter and Eleanor.

Believed they settled in Chicago for sometime and then headed to Winnipeg area in Canada. Finally settled in Vancouver BC Canada in the mid 1940's.

Any of this sound familiar? Look forward to hearing from you.

dklopp1 — 2005-04-11 15:34:17Z

I believe Clement Balon was a grandfather to Stanley Klap (now Klopp) of Rowne, Poland. In the 1920's, Frank Balon and Mary Balon appear as sponsors on family baptismal certificates from Freeland, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Please contact me privately at dklopp@ptd.net and I'll provide specifics.

Bartime Balon/Baulein/Bayland/Boland

2004-10-25 04:38:01Z

Hello?
I hope someone can help me. Here's what I have, maybe it will help someone else. There are variant spellings of the last name, but he was French.
He was married to Mary A. Richardson; they had 1 daughter I can find (at this time) who was Margaret Lucinda Balon/Baulein/etc. who married Solomon Sullivan..<my ggrandfather/MA>...I have more on this if anyone can relate or link it with their line.
Would also appreciate a little help as well. All we know is that Bartime disappeared shortly after the kids were born (this tells me there was more than one-can't find a 2nd one) and I've been told that he showed up either in New Orleans or Texas as a Preacher. When married and still with Mary, they lived in or around Leroy or Wakerville,AL (Washington Co.).
Thank you

Michael J. Michonski and Apolonia Balon were my great-grandparents! Michael and Apolonia were married on January 15, 1906 in Three Rivers, MA. Apolonia (1878-1960) was born in Wadowice Gorne, Poland on Sept 27, 1878 and entered the U.S. on September 2, 1903. She resided in Bondsville, MA. From research done by another family member, I have a tree showing Apolonia's siblings as: Frank Bolow, John Bolow, and Anthony Gwozdz. John is listed as having one son, Edward Bolow. Anthony is listed with 3 children: John, Frank, and Stacia.

I am hoping for any information on a fellow named Myron Balon. He has a daughter named Stephanie Gail Balon. He was probably born around 1930's time frame and was in the Ohio, Kentucky area for some amount of time. This is not much to go by, but you never know the luck you may have! Thankyou. Deb King
