Update to this 1999 post:

My Blaschko's came from Szentgyorgy, Pozsony, Hungary, now Svaty Jur, Bratislava, Slovakia. www.drdocyoung.com

Janos Blaschko, b. bet. 1861-1864, d. 22 Oct 1954, West Haven, CT. He is indexed as Austrian, Polish, Russia:Poland, Hungary. Some of his children when they arrived in 1908, 1910, 1911, indexed as/born in Slovakian, German, Hungary, St George, Austria.

So who knows their true ethnic lineage. I do know after they arrived between 1904-1911, Manhattan NY, they moved to New Haven CT.

My grandmother Antoinette Victoria Blaschkov, b. 1901, Szentgyorgy, Hungary, in German it is Saint George, now Svaty Jur.

All 4 sons, died between 1909-1924, no marriages or children...leaving 3 sisters who married Wilson, Blake, Gill, Heil, Spissak, Tombari.

Thank you, Doc

I have come across a family who were listed on censuses in London as: Blosque, Bolaski, Bolaskie, and their later descendents appear to have taken the name Belasco. I believe that they were descended originally from a pair of brothers called Julius and Lazarus Brylowski, who came here when their bit of Poland was taken by Russia. I think that their father may have been called Eleazer Brylowski, but I last had contact with their descendents some time ago and it is really testing my memory to get that name right!

I think many of the poor Jews were illiterate and had heavy accents so when census time came around it was pretty hit and miss as to whether the right name was recorded. Also when registering births, it could be dependent on whether the person recording it spelled it correctly.

These people are not related to the sephardic Belascos in London as far as I know.

Belasco, Belusko Petrosky, Patraskey, Partonski in Haleton or Fern Glen

I've been searching through the Belusko family board and I found this Belscco Board. Someone told me awhile ago that if I wanted to find my Petrosky, Partroski, Patraskey family. And I could really use help!

I'm researching Paul and Dora Petrosky, b. 1864 in Hungary. I have only been able to find Dora once and have never found Paul. The last name Petrosky is according to the handwritten name on an old photo of Paul Petrosky. Then it's Partoski in the 1900 Census in Black Eagle, Luzerne County, where Dora is listed as widowed and then Patraskey on one of their daughter's Social Security application.

From the Census records and from personal knowledge I do know they had two daughters, Mary and Anna. Mary, b. 1893, married a Strock (changed name from Strack). They lived in Hazleton, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania on Locust Street and Anna R. b. 1896, married Walter C. Long of New York and they lived in Binghamton, Broome County, New York.

Either before or after Dora's marriage to Paul Petrosky, I am told she married Mr. Belusko (spelling) in Luzerne County. She and her husband Belusko had two daughters. It's possible they were Dora Petrosky Belusko's step daughters. I know one of these daughters was named Mary Belusko and she married Phillip Goldsworthy. They lived in Hazleton, PA and had one son. I am not certain of the name of the other daughter. Now I'm told that maybe they lived in Fern Glen.

I have run straight into that brick wall and I really could use all the help I can get! I am planning to post this to other boards also.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

looking for relatives of Theodore Francis Belasco

PAIUTEBRAV — 2005-08-03 02:17:35Z

I am looking for relatives of my father. His parents were Paiute Indians Domingo Lucia. He had a sister Mary and 2 brothers Raymond and Felix. He was born in the Santa Cruz area of California and went to mission schools where his last name was changed from Velasco/Velascus to Belasco. Any help would be appreciated.

Philadelphia 1910, Lazer Belefsky b.1830

I am looking for info on the above name and family, living on South St, in Philadelphia on the 1910 census. His wife is listed as Edith, head of household is Rebecca Belefsky (daughter-in-law?), children Abraham 19, born in PA, Rosie 14, Ida 10, Sarah 7. They are listed as Russian/Lithuanian, arriving in USA 1891. I have reason to believe their original name might have been a version of Belawski (Bieliauskas), similar to Belasco, which is the name I am trying to trace.

Some of my ancestors (in the theatrical business) were said to have been friends of the well-known theater producer Dave Belasco. I'm wondering if anyone have information on him, which perhaps could help me finding out more about the friendship and my own ancestors. Hope to hear from you!

My dad always told me the name belasco came from a form of the spanish word velas for sails or candles. The spelling originally is Velasco, but with pronunciation sounding with a B those coming to the US, it changed to a B

"Belasco" surname
