Hello, Rob! Ditto your original message!! I have not known of anyone with the same last name as mine until this very moment (other than immediate family). My dad and grandad were the only two who spelled the name S L I V C H A K instead of the traditional S L Y V C H A K. This change in spelling goes back to a family disagreement/feud that began right around the time of WWII. (due to one our relatives who served as an officer in a particular combat division during that time).
I'm not sure if you are a direct relation or not but most of our family comes from either the Pennsylvania or NJ area.
I presently reside in Norwalk, CA. If possible, I would like to know more about your family history and possible connection to us. It is possible that your connection goes back to the War.
Best Regards,
Paul Slivchak
