Looking for info on My greatgrandparents Andrew Kushner and Appolonia Hollenkay (or Hallenkaj). They came from Eperjes Hungary which is now Presov Slovakia. Andrew was a tailor borna circa 1845. Appolonia was born circa 1847. They had at least 2 children born in Eperjes, Emerich, born about 1868 and Charles, born about 1873. There may have been another son named Alec or Alex who may have been killed in a trolley accident. Andrew's parents were Stephen Kushner and Suzanna Popovic. Andrew came to the US in Nov 1877 and may have retuned and came back with the family in early 1880's. They settled on Pitt Street in lower manhattan and my grandmother, Mary Kushner, was born in September 1885 in Manhattan. Any information about the family in Eperjes or anywhere else in europe would be appreciated. Thanks
