Hi:  This is my husband's link to the Churetta (Cserhit) and Chabak (Csabak)  families.
I have been trying to help research the Churetta and Chabak family from Kamenica nad Cirochu for over three  years. 
These families are very difficult to figure out because there are so many of the same names and it is a different language..  Although the information I have posted on my site is  basically for my own convenience, I do not mind sharing with others who have the same interest.  The Microfilm of the Church Records of the village where they lived is available at the Family History Center in Whitehall.  I have them on permanate hold although it cost me plenty.
Please keep in mind that although I try to verify everything there may be errors in my notes.

Please send me corrections or information.
