Pollocks from Slovakia too

UPDATE 9/18: Helen does not have a brother named Henry after all. However, I still believe her family is from Slovakia. The information below may or may not be helpful.


It looks like my cousin R. has been doing family history and has discovered where Helen Pollock's brother Henry is from. Looking at Henry's WWI and WWII draft registration cards, it looks like he was born in Zilina, Slovakia. Zilina is the Slovak spelling, which was used when Slovakia was part of Czechslovakia (during WWII time). Zsolna is the Hungarian spelling, which was used when Slovakia was park of Hungary (during WWI time).

Zilina is in north western Slovakia, about 120 miles from the capital Bratislava.
