Re: Matus - Austra-Hungarian/Czech/Moravian lineage

2004-11-16 04:03:11Z

Some corrections and additional info.
The surname "Matus" does mean "Mathew" and is the name that appears in the Czeck Bible where "St. Mathew" appears in English.
Moravia is a state within the Czech Republic close to the Slovak Republic. Prior to World War I, it was in the Austra-Hungarian Empire which existed for many hundreds of years. In the 1200s, the Moravian Empire controlled all of Central Europe.
If you are a Matus whose family came from Moravia, we are possibly related.

Re: Matus

2004-11-16 03:41:27Z

I too am a Matus who's family came from Czechoslovakia. My grandfather's name was Josef Matus and born in 1902. I cannot recall the village (possibly Bratislova?) he was from, but it was in Moravia. There is supposedly a mountain named after us from the region he was from.
His father (my great-grandfather) died when my grandfather was quite young. He had just one brother who remained in Czechoslovakia until his death in the 1970s (I believe).
In the 1920s, my grandfather and his wife (Eva Rusnak) were going to emigrate to the US to follow other family members (uncles/aunts/cousins) who had left earlier (not certain exaxtly when but I believe some went to Texas).
Unfortunatley, most of the records in Czechoslovakia were seized by the Nazis and destroyed in World War II.
The family's religion was Catholic. And many spoke German, Hungarian, Czech and Solovak.
PS: The name Matus translates to "Mathew" and is very common first name in Czechoslovakia. There is also a lot of Spanish people with a similar name and possible the link goes back to the Catholic religion.
Most of the information came from Eva Rusnak (my grandfather's wife) who lived to 99 years and died in Dec 2003.
