La famille de
Charlene Hackel Minor a été retrouvée. (Août 2008, webmaster) My grandparents,
Eduard Hackel
(born about 1853 in
Bukovina) and Maria Polaczek (born 1870 in Paltinossa, Bukovina married and
had 7 children in Paltinossa. The second oldest daughter, Rozalia ( born 1889)
stayed in Bukovina where she married and reared her family. The remaining
children all eventually emigrated to the United States (see below) where
they all settled down in various parts of Michigan (where I still reside).
My aunt Rozalia, whom I never met, married
Josef Kwasnicki and they had at
least one child, a daughter named
Marika (my first cousin) who eventually
married Michal Trecsek/ Trisek. They had 3 children: Monica, Barislara and
Anton. I have 2 letters written by Marika Trisek to my dad ( Carol, Karl,
Charles Hackel) dated 1935; at this time, Marika and her family lived at
59.17 Paltinossa, RSR, Post. Kapulodrului; Jud. Kampolung. It is my
understanding that my Aunt Rozalia died in 1910 in Bukovina and that my
cousin Marika Trisek died in 1976 but this is just heresay. I have not had
any contact with any members of this branch of my family and I so very
much want to know more about them.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
For the sake of completeness, the children of my grandparents
Eduard Hackel
and Maria Polaczek were all born in Paltinossa as follows:
1. Regina Hackel, b. 1888.
2. Rozalia Hackel. b. 1889.
3. Kate Hackel b. 1891.
4. Josef Hackel b. 1894, d. 1894.
5.Karolina Hackel b. 1895.
6. Carol, Karl/ Charles Hackel (my dad) b. 1897, d. 1985.
7 Francine Hackel b.1899.
My grandfather, Eduard Hackel, following the death of my grandmother, married
a 2nd time to Barbara Gavluk
(a second marriage for her also). They had 3
children: Mary, Anna, and Eduard Hackel. I know nothing about the members
of this branch of my family but believe they also remained in Bukovina. I
want to know more about them and their descendants. Any information will
also be greatly appreciated.
My father (Charles Hackel) and my Aunt Karolina used to refer to their
grandmother
Anna Lehocky
who, in the late 1800s and early 1900s owned a mill and an 1100 acre farm
with 300 cows. The grandchildren use to milk 60 cows a day whenever they
stayed with Grandma Lehocky. Anna Lehocky (my great grandmother) was
married twice. In her first marriage,(last name unknown) she had 2 girls,
Mary and Anna. In her second marriage (to ? Lehocky) she had 3 boys, Frank,
Joseph and ?Jo? My dad had pictures of his Uncle Frank Lehocky who was
married to Barbara but they stayed in Bukovina and I never knew them. Any
information on the members of this branch of my family will be so greatly
appreciated
Lastly, my grandfather, Eduard Hackel
had a sister "Rosie" Hackel who
emigrated to Canada where she married and had 3 children. Her married name
is unknown as are the names of her children and her husband. All I know of
my great Aunt Rosie is that she delivered mail on horseback in rural
Alberta, Canada. She apparently remained in the Alberta area for the
remainder of her life. Any information about the members of this branch of
my family will also be so very much appreciated. Thank you so much for any
help you may provide.
Sincerely,
Charlene Hackel Minor
