Andrew is Andras in Hungarian

KMETZ you might try KMEC as that is the spelling also found in Slovak Republic.
SK's phone book is listing HARTOS^. www.zoznamst.sk
MACKO in Slovak and MACZKO in Hungarian.

My great-grandfather was Michael Kmetz and he immigrated from Hungary. He worked at the Iron Works in Phoenixville, PA for a time and then moved his family to the Joliet, IL area. From there I lost him, although my great-grandmother moved back to Phoenixville with 4 of her children. Unfortunately she couldn't keep them and they were farmed out through the Chester County Children's Aid Society. I haven't been able to find 1 of the children from there--Michael. I've tracked Joseph who was in the Navy and buried in San Francisco National Cemetery. Anna was married to Charles West and lived in Atlantic City, NJ but I haven't been able to find where she is buried. Of course I know that my grandfather is buried in Coatesville, PA. One son, John, fell off the tracking at the same time as my great-grandfather. If any of this sounds familiar to you, I'd appreciate any info you may have. Thanks.

Actually Kmetz has become a rather common name in the United States. My great-grandfather was Michael Kmetz and he immigrated from Hungary. He worked at the Iron Works in Phoenixville, PA for a time and then moved his family to the Joliet, IL area. From there I lost him, although my great-grandmother moved back to Phoenixville with 4 of her children.

Hi,

I am married to a Kevin Kmetz born 1968. He is the son of George Clifford Kmetz born I believe in 1945. Clifford is the son of a Bertha Kmetz and she was the daughter I think a George Kmetz. I will check and see where they originated from but I believe they lived in PA during the late 1800's. I also believe it was (2) brothers. (1) of them definately moved to Newark, NJ. There are many Kmetz's here throughout the state of New Jersey.

there are a lot more Kmetz's living in Moquah, Wisconsin. My father is from Moquah, Wisconsin. His father was George Kmetz and his mother was Dorothy Kmetz. I don't know how old the George Kmetz is that you are talking about. I know he was born in Minnesota but he died some years ago I believe in 1986-1987 some where in there.
The children they had are:
Kenneth Kmetz-Moquah, Wisconsin
Robert Kmetz-Moquah, Wisconsin
Richard Kmetz-Moquah, Wisconsin
Lawrence Kmetz-Moquah, Wisconsin
Joe Kmetz-Manitowoc, Wisconsin (my dad)
David Kmetz-Moquah,Wisconsin cemetery died in vietinam war
Thomas Kmetz- Canada
Dotty May Kmetz (married dont know last name right now)
I dont know what you want to know about them but there are a lot of Kmetz's in that area.
I do know the the names of the people you have but I dont know if they are the same people. If you know the age they would be about I could help you out a little more seeing that they would be my close relations if they are the same people. Just let me know if I can be any more help.

I found this thread and had to post, since my name is also Stacey Kmetz! I have never heard of another one with my name, and since it is unusual enough I wondered about your having other relatives in PA or Delaware. I was born in CA, My father, Gerald Kmetz was from Red Lion, PA. He has a brother, John Kmetz who is a professor at the University of Delaware who has done some extensive family tree history on our name "Kmetz"

Anyway I hope this finds all of you Kmetz's out there alive and well!

Please feel free to drop me a line, anytime!

Both my father and grandfather's name was John Kmetz. My grandfather was born in Czechoslovakia around 1880. Lupuhov is the only name I have and I don't know if this is a town or a district. He married Mary Danko June 10,1907 in Johnstown PA. I would appreciate any info.

gailpanciera — 2006-09-27 15:41:32Z

Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. In your post, you said: "Father was George Kmetz, born July 1906, worked as Auto Mechanic, Dye Maker, and other odd jobs until death on January 28, 1963 in NJ. He had 1 brother." Who was that brother? Thanks.

Re: George Kmetz

ctheusa1 — 2006-09-27 15:07:49Z

george was born in 1890 and was the youngest of the children. Don't think his brothers would be who you're looking for if born in 1906.

Konnie (if that name has applied in any recent decade):

This is one of those wild google things now possible. I have no idea whether or not you will even have a clue as to who I am.

Oh, about 45 years ago we were friends for awhile: we played a lot of ball together, for a couple of years on the same team (I was the pathetically weak hitting shortstop, you the Juan Marichal-like pitcher and sometimes outfielder). One summer I broke my hand and you spent some time teaching me to play tennis.

I used to see your father often, sitting in the first base stands at Madison Park.

I think the last time I saw you was when I visited your lab at OSU and you explained something about corn blight to me.

Now, a lifetime later, I live in Bethlehem, PA and teach architecture at Lehigh U. And you live in Delaware and work (retired?) for DuPont.

Again, I don't know if you will know any of this. But Hi anyway.

Hello,

My grandparents ran the Kmetz Grocery Store in the Polish section Gary, Indiana sometime during the thirties. My mother was Agnes Clara Kmetz, the second youngest child in the family. I think she was born in 1914. Her parents, I think, were Stephen and Anna. Stephen committed suicide in 1936 but his death was listed as lung failure from mining.

My mother was estranged from her family and I have never known any of my relatives. She said we were of Austrian descent.

Let me know what you find out. I will try to find your book.

Could Kmetz be Kumec or Kumetz?
My great-great-grandfather was Usher Kumec from Konskie (Poland) descendant of other Kumetz rabbis from same place. He was a rabbi in Belchatow, married to Frajdla Brandes and they had my greatgrandmother Ryfka (b. 1839) and others, I suppose. See my note in Kummetz board.

I just read your 2004 post on the Ancestry.com message boards (http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.kmetz/9.3/mb.ashx). It's been several years, so I hope this message can find you. It looks like your grandmother's brother, Andrew Kmetz Jr., married my grandfather's sister, Susan Helen Sanko.

I have also sent you an email. I'd be interested in hearing more about the Kmetz family.

Re: KMETZ in Minnesota and Wisconsin

jlsjoberg — 2005-08-28 01:31:05Z

Unfortunately, while KMETZ is indeed an uncommon surname, I don't believe we have an immediate connection. The Steven KMETZ (1916-1983) in my tree is deceased and lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin. It's possible there is some kind of connection further back, but I don't have any information to support it. Good luck!

KMETZ in Minnesota and Wisconsin

jlsjoberg — 2005-08-21 00:44:27Z

My grandfather's sister married Andrew KMETZ (b. 1905 Minneapolis, MN, d. 1981 Robbinsdale, MN). According to Andrew's obituary, he had the following siblings:

George KMETZ (of Moquah, Wisconsin)
Steve KMETZ (of Moquah, Wisconsin)
John KMETZ (of Moquah, Wisconsin)
Michael KMETZ (of Motley, Minnesota)
Joe KMETZ (of Ashland, Wisconsin)
Mary (KMETZ) SANDE (of Moquah, Wisconsin)
Ann (KMETZ) KOCIENDA (of St. Paul, Minnesota)

I'm interested in hearing from anyone knowing anything about these KMETZes.
