Hi everyone! I'm very interested in any information regarding my Batcho family.
John Batcho (1875-1949) & Sophie (1879-1932) had children:
1. Margaret who married Steve Tasnady
2. John who married Margaret Batcho (same last name, diff family, that Batcho family ran Batcho's Bar)
3. Joseph who married Ernestine
4. Alexander who married Helen (mayor for 16 years, the intermediate school is named after him)
5. Andrew
6. Nicholas who married Eugenia "Jenny"
7. Steve who changed his name to Robert Stephenson Batchow and married Dorothy (he moved to Connecticut and then Florida)
There were also two infant girls Elizabeth and Elsie who did not make it.
I'd appreciate any stories or even any little tidbits regarding these folks.
Thanks!
- Andrea Batcho

The intermediate school was named after Alexander Batcho. ;)The high school was named after Manville. I don't ever remember meeting any Batchos.That's kinda strange because I spent the 1st 37 years on my life in Manville,and most of my relatives were longtime(1890's or so,before Manville became Manville) Manvillians!?!!? Manvillians,Manvillites,Manvillopians,Manvillputians,what?  We need to decide what the heck we are/were. You would be able to get some info if this were a well established forum,but it's fairly new and we don't have enough members participating yet. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO JOIN !!!!!!!Spread the word. |

Tom,
I'm also interested in the Wass and Farkas families.
Martin and Vera Farkas had:
1. John - never married
2. Yolanda - married Joseph Wass and Steve "Cappy" Wass
3. Olga - married Eugene Nemeth
4. Alex "Sandor" - never maried
Vera was Sophie Batcho's sister.
thanks for the correction about the school name.

Andrea... I just found a bunch of 1940's newspapers. Alexander Batcho is all over them, including some photos and plenty of articles. Im in the process of digitizing them all... if I see specific interesting things reguarding your family I will crop them out and send them your way.

That's okay, a lot of them did not have any children or moved to other towns. I figured I'd ask to see if any of the older folks remembered Alex from politics. They all went to Sacred Heart Church. |

I only have one photo of Uncle Alex which Aunt Helen's niece gave me. I really appreciate it. Even the name of the paper, date, and page would be helpful. I can make a list of things to get if you don't make it through the digitization process. I hate trying to google him now because all of the references to the school pop up. thanks!!! -andrea |

Hello to All,
My name is Tom Peters and I am a parishioner at St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church in Hillsborough. In going through the church photo archive, I came across a photo of the Manville Falcons Baseball Team. My guess is that it is from the late 30's or 1940's. Pictured are: Joseph Dudash, Sanders, Andrew Shutack, Alexander Batcho, Herbert Schneider, Frank Cebula, John Dudash, John Menzak, Anthony Blahut, Peter Menzak, Frank Dudash, Andrew Persinko and Michael Persinko. I would like to provide your website with a copy (1 MB) and will also be glad to email copies to anyone with the interest. I am doing this with permission from our Pastor, Fr. Ed Cimbala. Any interest?
Tom Peters

I am Andrew Persinko's daughter, I would love to see your photo. We have one with the date 1925 on it. I'd like to see if it is the same. Also, you listed the names of the team. Would you be able to identify who is who?
