THANKS, i HOPED FOR INFORMATION ON sienna chechoslovakia, THIS IS WHERE THEY CAME FROM. aLSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE;S ANY FAMILY LEFT ? tHANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
HEY, USAJES, CAN YOU STOP WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS??? YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IS IT ANNOYING?!?!?!?! On the Ellis Island webpage is Michael Hodovanec, Czechoslovakia, village Orechova. I looked it up, it's not village in Czech, but it's in Slovak. Go to http://www.mapy.sk and type Orechova there. Anna Hodovanec has listed village Kolonina. I couldn't find it on neither Czech nor Slovak map though. And Sienna Czechoslovakia, what means Czechoslovakia is obvious, but what means Sienna? It's not Czech word, it has to cheesy translation of something.
thank you for all your help. I have no idea where sienna chechoslovakia, is located, i found it on the ellis island site, where my grandmmother's ship infomation was. NAME: HODOVANEC., is the correct name, but they wrote it as Hodovanck. My dad has since passed away and no relatives to ask these questions to. So thank you again.
It doesn't look like Siena, Italy is a port town, but then you wouldn't think Hamburg would be either considering its location. Could "Sienna" really be Snina? It's a town in eastern Slovakia.

Sienna may be a transcription from Cенна. Take into consideration that Czechoslovakia in 1921 included some part of todays Ukraine. Several Sienna's and Sienno's exist in Poland. ---------------------------- hay: Czech, Slovak: noun seno, adj. senný, senná, senné Polish: noun siano, adj. sienny, sienna, sienno Russian: noun сено, adj. сенной, сенная, сенное
The manifest is typed, not handwritten so it is easy to see that the name of the town is Snina. The nationality of the family is listed as "Slovak."
Jews don't eat protestants or catholics. They are not kosher. uote="Ceit"]Isn't Sienna in Italy?[/quote]
