YEAR 2004 Michal Napisal Hrcka:

Today I was on “Field studies” in Likavka. I learned a few things about them so we can tell. Uz davnejsie som vedel co nemam na papieri tomu neverim a dnes sa mi to potvrdilo. I heard the second and third version osidlovnia Village Hrckovcami. Father first told me. Another thing that I have learned: must go into the field with voice recorder, laptop and camera scanners possibly a pad and pen. Smola, ze som mal len ten notebook a pero. But I did obtain officially certified picture of my great-Stark Tomaša bumps born in 1882. The photograph is of dimensions 6,5 x 7,5 cm. The front displays Tomas Hrcka with a mustache, vestou, bangs combed to the top and Sakom. Ing over the caption pravdepodobne brkom: “Tomas Hrčka”. On the back is probably metal redisovim Indian ink purple feather submitted: “Officially testify (underline) that the length Portrait? vyzobrazuje Thomas knots 1882 year born inhabitant of Martinček. Gualský? notary (Official stamp:)” Fotografiu me zapozical Alojz “Alino” Tuber. Tento mi aj rozpovedal jednu z verzii prichodu Hrčkovcov do tejto oblasti.

Excerpt of the three versions by Miroslav bumps – My dad, Alina Hrčku – and his cousin Ivan lumps – suseda Aina v Likavka.: Hrčkovci PARADISE come to the ends slowly 30 year war around 1630. On Likava and then to the village, ktora lezala tesne pod hradom Likava smerom od terajsieho bocneho vchodu, prisli ako slobodni vozari. Two versions of the previous realm and place of arrival. One is that they came from Finland and one from the east. During this period, speaks of three clans Hrckovcov. Divided according prezivok heads of families. Each of fathers named Hrcka but had a different nickname. One is called Olis (Olis with softening “s”), dalsi Zajac dalsi Andorn. Last supposedly called tobacco thus being the first to bring Likavka Tobacco. I personally most bundling with strains Olis and Zajac. With clan Olis pochadzal Vraj otec with my old clan Zajac old mom. Here arises an interesting coincidence. My grandmother is in fact called maiden Hrčková. Avsak odd is povera / legend conciliation. Since 1630 the blood of individual clans so mixed that at present it is a completely diferente genera and namesakes. Dalej som sa dozvedel ze niektori dalsi Hrckovci uz rodokmene spracuvavali. Is this any zo strAny Tabak. I also learned from the museum in Ruzomberok is probably Chronicle Likavka, who wrote some kind of monk, and in it described this fact. Nakolko su tieto dnes zistene informacie spravne nevie. But I hope that I can carry them subsoil facts. When nascanujem picture it will bring you right to this site.
