Was he an ethnic Czech or was he an ethnic slovak?

According to the article, he was Slovak. Is there a reason to believe he was Czech? Juro 20:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

At Find-A-Grave they say he was born in Jarabenia though they have the wrong birth date. Lincher 03:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

They say that his parents were natives of Czechoslovakia. I think he was ethnically Czech by thate statement.

He is Slovak, born in Jarabina, Spis region, near to the town Stara Lubovna. It is possible that he had some Polish or Rusyn blood in his veins, but definitely not Czech. There were no Czechs in Spis at that time (except for the tourists in Tatra mountains). -Ďuri-

There were no ethnic Slovaks in Jarabina. The entire village is Rusyn. The village school still teaches Ukrainian language (unfortunately not Rusyn, but neighboring Kamienka will soon teach Rusyn language in its school). -- Vasko Chromoho

[edit] Franklin?

Which Franklin, PA did he go to school in? The aticle mentions Franklin and then Franklin borough. --Chris Griswold 06:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Michael Strenk was definitely A Slovak Rusyn! My grandmother was also from Jarabina.

My cousin Michael Strenk's father {also Michael Strenk} was a cousin of Michael Strank.

He went to school in Franklin borough which is on a hillside across the creek from the city of Johnstown.

Across from Franklin Borough is East Conemaugh Borough. The Little Comemaugh River is in between.
