Chernicky (Chernickhy, Chernichky) History

[cindychernicky]

My grandfather, Joseph Chernicky left Uzhgorod for the USA when he was 16 yrs. old in 1909. He was born October 28, 1892 in the city of Uzhgorod, the state of Ruthenia and the country of Austria-Hungary. My uncle who is now deceased was unable to find any history further back than this. With the help of this forum I hope to know more of my ancestry.
Thank you,

Also, my grandfather Joseph Chernicky married Anna Bograntec who immigrated to the USA from near the city of Mukacevo that was some 40 miles from Uzhgorod. They did not know each other prior to meeting in the USA. They were married here in the USA and had 13 children.

Any info will be appreciated.

Cindy,

I am striking out w/both the surnames given. Do you have any documents?

Where did they settle upon immigration? Have you obtained any church records?

Hi Hannia, My grandfather Joseph Chernicky (Chernichky) and his two brothers Michael and John landed in the New York City port of Immigration in about 1909. Michael owned a barber shop and established a family in McKeesport, PA, and My grandfather Joseph and his brother John spent their early years in factories, mines etc. in N.Y., N.J. and PA. My grandfather Joseph farmed and settled in McKean, PA where I grew up.

Tomorrow I will check to see if there are any available church, marriage or immigration records

Hi Ruth,
I don't think this one is my grand father. The birthdate is thr right year but nothing else matches. He was never in Connecticut as far as I ever heard about. He immigrated when he was 16 to NYC and landed at the port of immigration. My understanding of the czarnecki family name is that we are not related and they came from different parts of the "Old Country" than my grandparents.thank you for checking. Cindy
