Timko-Berish Family Wiki
Welcome
This website represents ten years of research into the extended members of the Timko/Berish families. The nexus of this family centers around the marriage of Joseph John Timko Sr to Anna Veronica Berish. Their marriage took place on September 14, 1914 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. It's through the joining of this young couple that the Timko/Berish extended family was created. Joseph had five brothers and one sister, where as Anna had six bothers and six sisters. These 18 siblings would go on to marry, have their own children, and grow the family to almost eighty individuals. And when these families had there own children, this extended family grew into the hundreds of family members we know today.
This website was created to educate future generations of this extended family about their ancestors and the lineages that were created by the subsequent marriages of Joseph and Anna, and their sibling's marriages.
Below I have created links to the family indexes that detail the hierarchy of the Timko family as well as the Berish family. The index should guide you to the branch of the family that interests you.
Joseph and Anna
Joseph was born Jozsef Timko Csanovsky in Kudlovce in the Austria-Hungary on March.17, 1893 and Anna was born at home in Riddesburg, Broadtop Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania.. [Note: Austria-Hungary would later become the county of Czechoslovakia in 1918 after the end of World War 1.]
Joseph John Timko Sr. and Anna Veronica Berish married on September 14, 1914 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The young couple lived in Indiana County until 1928, when Joseph gave up being a coal miner for the more secure profession of being a steel worker in their new home in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.
