Family Tree      

Marge Marvan
offers a capsule history of the George Lesko family in the early 1900's.

George Lesko was born in Krivi Czechoslovakia and came to New York when he was 15 years old. He married Anna Wolf on August 11, 1911.

They lived in a two family home on 3647 8th street across from a church. Their first child was Margaret born 1920, George in 1924 and then Eleanor in 1930

George was a extrovert who had many friends and was known for his physical strength. Besides building homes he drove a beer delivery truck and was also known as a craftsman. He died on unknown causes at a fairly young age.

Anna Lesko had a beautiful singing voice and filled the house with music when the spirit moved her as well as the smells of the good food coming from the kitchen.
