Genealogy / Anyone from Berezka / Brzuska near the Ukrainian border ? [53]
I am researching the family of John (aka Johann) Hohla (aka Chochla and Chockla)(1885-1972). He immigrated to the U.S. in 1910, listing birth location as Bereska in Austria and his nationality Ruthenian. According to the 1930 U.S. Census, he was born in Poland, as were his father and mother. Both he and his wife speak Russian. He lived in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. He was a coal miner in Bens Creek, Pa. in 1942. He is buried at Sts Peter & Paul Byzantine Catholic Church in Portage, Pa. His wife was Miluska (aka Mildred, Amelia, Millie) Horchak (1893-1930) , also from Bereska. It appears that other Chockla family members immigrated to the same area in Pennsylvania. I would like to compare notes to gather more information on this family.
