John Galus Anna Galus
John GALUS
31 Dec 1875 - 2 Mar 1940
Anna GALUS
nee KUSH
8 May 1879 - abt 9 Dec 1969
John GALUS was born in Leki Dolne, Galicia, Austria Poland on 31 Dec 1875*. On 25 Oct 1900 in Leki Parish John married Anna KUSH, daughter of Michael and Agnes FARCZAK KUSH. Anna was born 8 May 1879 in Leki Gorne, Galicia, Austria Poland. Leki Gorne and Leki Dolne are small villages not far from each other. They are one church parish. According to the 1920 Nebraska census for John and Anna immigrated in about 1906. In 1920 they were living in Loup City, Sherman county, Nebraska. In the early 1920's they moved to South Omaha. John and Anna are buried in different sections of St. John's cemetery.

I have traced John's family back through the microfilm records of Leki Dolne, but have not made a connection to my GALUS family as yet. I have more information about John and Anna on my Unrelated (so far) GALUS Families page.

*Correction: I originally had John's birth date as 31 Jan 1876. Closer scrutiny of the parish baptism ledger shows he was born 31 Dec 1875.

John VOTROBEK, Sr.

Antoinette VOTROBEK
nee GALUS
7 Feb 1904 - 28 Apr 1979
Antoinette was a daughter of John and Anna KUSH GALUS. The 1920 Nebraska census shows that she was born in Austria. She was probably born in Leki Dolne or Leki Gorne -- the villages where her parents were born. The microfilmed records do not go as far as 1904. As I noted above for John and Anna, I have not made a connection to this GALUS family as yet.
