the [Kisko?] family
The earliest documentation I have of her is from her marriage certificate. She and my
great-grandfather, Pavol Piszkura (known in America as Paul Piskura) were married on
October 16, 1905 in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Connecticut, at St. John's Roman Catholic Church.
The record has her name as Annie Kitzko, age 18, a resident of Bridgeport, and the fields
for her parents' names were left blank, though it says they were born in Austria.
("Austria", however, refers to Austria-Hungary, the empire that swallowed up large portions of
Eastern Europe between 1869 and 1918. I know for a fact that Paul was ethnically Slovak
and that the land he was born in is now restored to its rightful identity as Slovakia. So it is
most likely that Anna was Slovak as well.)
Anna lived in Brookfield, Fairfield, Connecticut from her marriage in 1905 to her death in
1944. They lived on Long Meadow Hill Road until 1922, and at which point they moved to
Obtuse Hill Road. She and Paul had eight children:
Veronica Piskura, 1906-1996; married Andrew Tomascak
Anthony Piskura, 1909-1966; married Sophie Komarowski
Margaret Piskura, 1911-2001; married Peter Feli
Victor Piskura, 1914-1968; married Clara Pettit
Louis Piskura, 1916-1998; married Veronica Tencza
Clara Piskura, 1918-1959; married John Ottoshavett
Katherine Piskura, 1921-1958; married Joseph Gabriele
Paul Piskura
Unfortunately, my grandmother, Katherine, has no birth certificate. (Her birth was never
reported to the town hall in Brookfield, which was very common for a rural area in that time
period.) But when she married my grandfather, she reported on her marriage certificate
(1947) that her mother's name was Anna Kisko.
Anna died November 10, 1944 in Brookfield, Fairfield, Connecticut. On her death record,
for which her husband provided the information, it says her name was Anna Kisko Piskura,
and that she was born in 1885 (date unknown) in Austria.
Anna was buried in the family plot at St. Francis Cemetery in New Milford, Litchfield,
Connecticut. Her gravestone reads Anna M. Piskura, 1885-1944.
On Paul's death record, for which his daughter Veronica provided the information, it says he
was the widower of Anna Kisco.
On my grandmother Katherine's death record, for which her sister Clara provided the
information, it says she was the daughter of Anna Kispo, born in "Czecho-Slovakia."

Anna Piskura, in the early 1940's.
Help!
I have almost no information on the family of
my great-grandmother, Anna Kisko Piskura.
I'm not even sure of the spelling of "Kisko."
I don't know the names of her parents, and I
don't know if she had any siblings.
I'm looking for any clues that might be out
there. Here's the information that I have on
Anna herself...
