Andrew Sholtis

Greengay — 2002-12-03 02:01:54Z

I am seeking information regarding my grandfather, Andrew Sholtis (or Andrej Soltis) from Pennsylvania. He died in a steel mill accident in 1926 at the age of 35. I would like to know where he came from before immigrating to the US. He was married to Mary Surovchak (Maria Surovcak). He lived in Belle Vernon or Monessen PA. He was most likely Slovak. I am travling to Slovakia and would be interested in visiting his hometown.

Trying to find out any information on Marko, Eva, Frances, Catherine or Joseph with the above surnames. It varies from time to time, hence I don't know which the correct one is. I would like to find out where all were born especially Eva. And what the name of her mother was, Marko's wife.
Eva died September 9, 1950 in Brooklyn, New York. She was married to Stanley Olesczyk. They were my parents.
The information on Ancestry.com was entered by a family member incorrectly as far as we know.

I am seeking family connections and information concerning the origins of JOHN SHOLTS, in early census also referred to as SHULTZ and SHOALTS. He was a native of Germany as far as is known, and the earliest I found him was in the Town of Barrington, Steuben County, New York, probably at least as early as 1810. He was a teacher, married to HANNA HANAN with whom he had 10 children and the family migrated to the vicinity of Eire, Penn., about 1833. At some point (prob. in the late 1830's) John went to Texas, bought land, and while returning home to get his family, he died among the Indians, sometime between 1840-1845.
The widow Sholts and 3 sons, J.[Joseph] B. Sholts (b. ca. 1824, N.Y., m. Harriet Miller), Elijah Sholts (b. 8/10/1821, Tn. of Barrington, m. Julia Anna Searles) and Henry W. Sholts (b. 1811/1812,N.Y. m. Louisa Hanan), ultimately moved on to the townships of Oregon and Rutland, Dane County, (near Madison) Wisconsin, about 1846. These circunstances suggest that ancestors of the Sholts family may have lived in the vacinity of TOWN of PALATINE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, N.Y., at an earlier period: 1) the accurate phonetic spelling of the family surname as it appears in Palatine Town, Montgomery County, N.Y. in the 1790 census (Sholts=Shoults=Shoultz), 2) the repetition of similar given names appearing both in that census and in subsequent generations (John and Henry, and 3) the fact that a number of SHULTS families in the same area of Steuben County CAN trace back to the Montgomery County families. However, I have been unable to make a connection.

My great grandfather John Sholtis married
Mary Kurucz. He was born about 1865. In 1901
he travelled from Antwerp to Connellsville PA
where he met his brother Stefan. John Sholtis'
last residence was Giecze, now known as Hucin,
Slovakia. I am looking for more information
about John Sholtis, Stefan Sholtis and any
other possible siblings. The Sholtis surname
is also spelled Soltis and Soltesz.
