Timko-Berish Family Wiki
Introduction
This website represents the culmination of ten years of research into the members of the Timko/Berish extended families.
The nexus of this extended family came about with the marriage of Joseph John Timko Sr to Anna Veronica Berish. Their simple marriage brought together two immigrant families who came to America in an attempt to provide their children with a better way of life. This young couple's wedding took place on September 14, 1914 in the small coal-mining town of Dixonville in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. It's through this joining that the Timko/Berish extended family was created.
To gain an appreciation of the size of this extended family, one has to realize that Joseph came from a large family of five brothers and one sister, whereas Anna came from an even larger family of six bothers and six sisters. And as often in these situations, the 18 siblings of Joseph and Anna would go on to marry, have their own children, and cause the family to swell to almost eighty individuals. Then when the children of these families had their own children, the extended Timko/ Berish family grew into the hundreds of family members that we know today.
As one would expect, the purpose of this website is to acquaint and 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 the marriages of their siblings. The website itself utilizes MediaWiki to provide linked-based structure that creates interconnections (links) between the subject matter of the various web pages. All subject names displayed in a bold font face are active links to other webpages that expand on the subject matter indicated. [Please note that while this website utilizes MediaWikiTM to present information about the family, it in no manner a part of the popular WikipediaTM website. Therefore, one should not attempt or expect to find information about the family hosted on the WikipediaTM website.]

Joseph John Timko Sr. and Anna Veronica Berish married on September 14, 1914 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.
