| Notes: | Mike immigrated to the United States in 1894 and became a naturalized citizen. Since he and both his parents were from Austria, they spoke German/Slovak, however he spoke English as well. |
At the time of the 1910 U.S. federal census, Mike was 34 years old and living with his wife Katie and their three children (ranging in age from 3 to 8 years old) in a rented home on 609 Abend Street in Belleville Ward 7, Saint Clair, Illinois. He told the census taker that both his parents were born in Austria, and that he was able to neither read nor write. Mike was working as a moulder at a foundry. He and Katie had been married for 9 years. At the time of the 1920 U.S. federal census, Mike was 45 years old and liviing with his wife Katy and their five children in a rented home on 900 South Charles Street in Belleville Ward 6, St Clair, Illinois. Mike was working as a moulder at the stove works. At the time of the 1930 U.S. federal census, Mike was 55 years old and living with his wife and their six children in a rented house at 900 South Charles St. in Belleville, St. Claire, Illinois. They did not own a radio. Mike was 25 years old when he married. Although he did not attend school, he was able to read and write. Mary Barteau talks about her maternal grandparents: "My mother’s side has yielded some finds but our Molnar side is the pits! DNA shows you and I are definitely Eastern European. After some hunting, I finally discovered that our Grandfather Mike Molnar and Grandmother Katherine Hanusczin were married in St. Louis. Joe and I went over to the St. Louis City Hall and picked up a copy of their marriage certificate and application. While there, we saw the originals. It was cool to see their actual signatures on the application. I’m attaching copies of the docs for you. "All I found out is that Grandma was Slovakian, Grandpa was naturalized in 1901 and from Austria. Also, we had an Aunt Mary who was born in 1902. She appears in the 1910 Census but disappears in the 1920. I had heard she passed away but I thought it was as an infant. I can’t find any family connections for Grandma and Grandpa Molnar but grandma’s obit said she had brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, Grandma’s name is spelled many different ways. The archivist in St. Louis said Slovakians spelled things differently all the time. I’m going to the library next week to search for Aunt Mary’s obits and sending away for Grandpa's death certificate. Maybe I’ll find more clues." [from 2019 e-mail to her 1st cousin Judi Bordeaux] |
