A Brief History on name Tropeck:

 

The Tropeck’s came from a village called Rabcice situated very close to the Polish border and some 4 miles north from small town Namestov, North Slovakia, in the Orava Region.

 

Rabcice originally spelled (Rabcsicze) in it’s Hungarian form, pronounced (ROB-chee-tseh),was in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Arva megye (county), now Orava a dual monarchy in Central Europe from 1867 to 1918, dissolved at the end of World War I.

 

Some of the Tropeck’s have been known to come from Poland and Austria. With these Tropeck’s coming from different country’s; take in mind that there were territory changes in the time period. According to my research I came across one other way to spell Tropeck and that is Tropek, which is just another name change, possible due to family choice. But more than likely when our ancestors went through Ellis Island, they changed the spelling, probably to make the name look more American, sometime after they immigrated.

 

On the journey to America, the Tropeck’s settled in places like Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois. Generations later, the name carries on and with this very short, but brief history lesson that is sure to grow with more and more research; by a true blood line there is a Hungarian.

Descendants of Jan Tropek

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1. JAN4 TROPEK (ADALBERTUS3, STEFAN2, STEFAN1)1,2 was born 17 Apr 1837 in Rabiciach3,4,5, and died 15 Dec 1891 in Rabiciach. He married ANNA ODUMORKOVA 24 Jan 1870 in Rabiciach. She was born in Rabiciach, and died 21 Jun 1894 in Rabiciach.

 

 

A Brief History on name Tropeck:

 

The Tropeck’s came from a village called Rabcice situated very close to the Polish border and some 4 miles north from small town Namestov, North Slovakia, in the Orava Region.

 

Rabcice originally spelled (Rabcsicze) in it’s Hungarian form, pronounced (ROB-chee-tseh),was in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Arva megye (county), now Orava a dual monarchy in Central Europe from 1867 to 1918, dissolved at the end of World War I.

 

Some of the Tropeck’s have been known to come from Poland and Austria. With these Tropeck’s coming from different country’s; take in mind that there were territory changes in the time period. According to my research I came across one other way to spell Tropeck and that is Tropek, which is just another name change, possible due to family choice. But more than likely when our ancestors went through Ellis Island, they changed the spelling, probably to make the name look more American, sometime after they immigrated.

 

On the journey to America, the Tropeck’s settled in places like Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois. Generations later, the name carries on and with this very short, but brief history lesson that is sure to grow with more and more research; by a true blood line there is a Hungarian.
