Our research to this point has traced the Ballek name back to
Jan(John)Ballek who was born in 1763. We know our families
descended from Stefan, but we suspect that he had other
children that we do not know about. So our search to connect
all the Ballek's and Balleck's continues
Jan Ballek
Born: 1753
Died:
Marr. 10 Jan 1788
Spouse: Katarina Vencak
Stefan Ballek
Born: 25 Jan 1801

Spouse: Terezia Dominak

Jozef Ballek
Born: 18 Dec 1828
Died: 30 Aug 1891
Marr: 8 Jan 1848
Spouse: Maria Dulkova
Marr: 25 Jan 1859
Spouse: Johanna Sivoncik

Spouse: Tezeria Butustiak
Jozef Ballek, son of Stefan Ballek and Terezia Dominak Ballek, was married three (3) times.
The FIRST MARRIAGE to Maria Dulkova produced five (5) children: Three survived to adulthood.
The SECOND MARRIAGE to Johanna Sivoncik produced eight (8) children: Four survived to adulthood.
The THIRD MARRIAGE to Terezia Butusiak produced four (4) children: Three survived to adulthood.
So Jozef was the father of seventeen (17) children, but only ten (10) survived to adulthood.
Two died in their teens, and four died in their 20's. The chance of surviving to an old age in what
was then called the Austrian/Hungarian Empire, and now is know as the Republic of Slovakia
were not good. Information on descendants from these three marriages is available here.
