Description

Images of the ancestral church attended by the family of Andrew Duda, Sr. and his family before their emigration to the United States. The church still stands, as does the church pew once used by the family and the font from which the members of the family were baptized. It is located in Slovakia, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918. The large chandelier shown in the photo of the interior was presented during a visit to the church in the 1960s by John and Katie Duda (as a replacement for the original fixture, which had been damaged). More than 35 descendants of Andrew Duda, Sr. and his wife, Katarina, worshiped together in the ancestral church in 2009, to commemorate Andrew's emigration to America one hundred years earlier.
