Alex's Parents and Baptism

Last night, I googled "Irene Kozub" and ended up finding the "SLOVAK-ROOTS" yahoo group. There are about 1500 members. I joined because I noticed that someone has been researching the Alexander and Irene Kozub family and has posted information and documents there. They even have the same copy of August Kozub's birth certificate! As of 2012, here is what "jtgen" wrote:



Based on documents gathered we have evidence of the following for the Kozub family:

1884 Alexander and Irene were married in Miklusovce, Slovakia -- he was a cantor in Kijo (FHL)
1885 A daughter Maria was born in Miklusovce (FHL)
1887 Arrived in the US (naturalization record -- 1900 census says 1887, but 1910 census says 1885, and 1920 census says 2886
1888 Alexander is born in Hazelton, PA (draft record)
1889 Gustie is born in Hazelton (birth record)
1898 — 1900 Cantor in Perth Amboy (church record)
1900 Anthony is born in Perth Amboy, NJ (family knowledge)
1902 Anthony is born in New Salem, PA (birth record -- 1st Anthony) died
1910 Priest in Buffington Coke Works, PA ( US census)
1911 Aug 16 & 17 Ordained in the Orthodox Church in NY —> Slovan, PA (church record)
1912 Priest in Wilpen, PA (church record)
1913 — 1922 Priest in Rahway, NJ (church record)
1914 Tranferred Oct to — Berwick, PA; Dec — McKeesport, PA (church record)
1915 Returns to Perth Amboy— Refused a new transfer (church record)
1930 In Perth Amboy living with daughter (census)
1935 Alexander dies in Perth Amboy (death certificate) Parents listed: Father -- John -- Mother -- Kathryn Neznik


I have sent a message to jtgen and am hoping that we will be able to connect! It looks like jtgen has a copy of Alexander's death certificate. That is the next thing on my list to get! I was wanting to find out the names of his parents! According to jtgen, Alexander's father is named John Kozub and his mother is named Kathryn Neznick. I would like to verify all of the information above for myself.


It seems that others are interested in Alexander and Irene as well.
From another SLOVAK-ROOTS group message, I learned that Alexander Kozub "was indeed a Cantor at St. John's in Perth Amboy." 

Someone who goes by "patskanovo" seems to be helpful. He offered a baptism record for Alexander Kozub. He says Alexander's parents are named "John and Kathyrn Neznik."


He got that information from:
