The Kolodzey Family of Stara Lubovna

---

Andreas is, perhaps, the first Kolodzey listed on records in Stara Lubovna (O'Lublo).  His marriage record to Catharina Andrasovitz in 1811 is the first marriage record for a Kolodzey in the town of Stara Lubovna and it pre-dates any baptism or burial record there. Using the information on Andreas' marriage record, he was born in around 1783 and Catharina was born around 1786.  It is uncertain as to where he came from, but perhaps Andreas was born in nearby Nizne Ruzbachy and moved to the growing city life in Stara Lubovna prior to meeting his wife, Catharina Andrasovitz.  Catharina was born in Stara Lubovna to her parents  Andreas Andrasovitz and Marjana.

Andreas and Catharina were married on 17 Sep 1811 in Stara Lubovna.  Andreas was 28 and Catharina was 25.  Witnesses for the marriage were Antoni Vrecsenjak (v'ret-chen-yak) and Antoni Andrasovits.  Perhaps Antoni Andrasovits was Andreas' brother or father.

Andreas Kolodzey and Catharina Andrasovitz lived in Stara Lubovna, Slovakia and they had five children: Anna (1815), Andreas (1817), Catharina (1825), Josephus (1827), and Joannes (1829). 

The godparents of their children came from the Orlik and Sztreleczky families.

Andreas is listed as a tax-paying, middle-class "burgher" at this website".
