Rozalia (Rosalia, Rosie) Fialla Hurbanek - Great Grandmother, wife of John Hurbanek

Rosalia Fialla Hurbanek - this picture was taken on 238  Climax Street, Beltzhoover, Pittsburgh, PA.  It's the only picture of her that I have. 

FIALLA spellings:
Fialla
Fiala
Fijala

Rosalia was born Rosalia Fijala in Gbely, Slovakia  on 10/29/1879


Here is her baptism record:



Interesting that they ask if she is legitimate!  How times have changed.

Also looks like a Susanna Hurban was her Godmother.

Here is the full page:


She married John Hurbanek in Gbely - having trouble finding marriage records

LINDA LOOK MORE INTO THIS

She came to the United States with Louis (Ludwig) when she was 24 years old and he was 9 months old.  John was already there in Pittsburgh.

Mom's notes say that John's mother and father came over at the same time that he did. 

LINDA KEEP LOOKING FOR THIS BOAT RECORD
Mom's notes:  Rosalia Fialla (died 1949).  Her family all came to America at the same time.  She had a sister Mary who married John Nedlick and a brother Michael who went to New York state (don't know if there were others).  Nedlick children are in CA, FL, NY and PA. 

There does look like there are several other Fialla siblings including:
Jacob 1881-1951
Michael 1884-1957
Maria 1885-
Angela 1887-1887

Mom's notes:  John Hurbanek and Rosalia Fialla Hurbanek  were separated, I don't remember him at all.  Grandma said that he and Fritz lived at 238 Climax Street in Beltzhoover, in my memory.
Sarah married late in her 30's.  When Fritz went to the Army, Grandma Rosalia  got pneumonia which they said settled in her brain.  Daddy & Uncle Kon took her to Mayview.  She was allowed visitors one day a week.  I remember Daddy going often.
 

That's sad that the end of her life was like that.
