Provenance Detail
Donated on behalf of Lorraine Jencik. Lorraine's mother was Anna Janosack Jencik (1903-1990) and her aunt (Anna's younger sister) was Mayme Janosack (b. 1904). Both Anna and Mayme worked for the American Thread Company in the mid-1900s, Anna in the Synthetics Department and Mayme in Packaging. Both Anna and Mayme were born in New York City, the daughters of Slovakian immigrants John Janosack (1873-1946) and Mary Katherine Hoza Janosack (1877-1901). John and Mary, and their eldest daughter Elizabeth (1897-1977) were born in Slovakia, so the Janosacks migrated from Slovakia to New York sometime between 1897 and 1903. They subsequently moved to Franklin, CT, were they were recorded in the 1920 U.S. Census. John was a farmer. Mayme never married, but Anna wed Emil Jencik (1905-1972) sometime between 1930 (the Census recorded her living with her parents) and 1935, when her son Albert was born.Created By
