Here is the tree so far. How did Louis J. Hurbanek, Sr., come to the U.S.? He came over with his mother, Rozalia (aka Rosalia aka Rosie) Fialla Hurbanek. They joined John (Jan) Hurbanek who was already there.
John came over to America from Gbely, Slovakia (aka Egbell, Austria-Hungary) via the boat named Travo which left Bremen and arrived in the New York port on 5/26/1901. I've been trying to find this boat record, but am still looking.
LINDA KEEP LOOKING FOR THIS BOAT RECORD
Here is his naturalization papers dated 11/7/1917. Interestingly, he requests that his name be changed from Jan to John. Also, Rozalia is called Rosie.
The boat records for Rozalia and Louis Hurbanek were easy to find.
I never realized that Ludwig = Louis
They are #9 & 10. Rozalia was only 24 years old and Louis was only 9 months. She came over with $4.00 in her pocket! Also, she came over by herself with baby Louis. No one else from Egbell. What a brave woman!!!
