Talk:Mato Kósyk

Category change to Americans of Sorbian descent

In this case he became a citizen though was of Sorbian birth and lived there in the early years of his life. Is the reason to move this man of Sorbian birth based on his later becoming a citizen of the United States of America?Kargin (talk) 06:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Wilma Filter and Mato Kosyk's papers

In David Zersen's "Local Lutheran Boy Finally Makes Good Sixty Years Late" he basically states the papers whereabouts are unknown as it is unknown whether Wilma Filter took them with her or left them. Where does the information come from that states she took them but the whereabouts of the papers are unknown?–Kargin (talk) 06:40, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

The article states that it is unknown whether she took the papers or not, not that she took them. This is based on an article by Richard Dalitz, The second Frau Kossick and our search for Kosyk's lost Nachlass in Mato Kosyk 1853-1940 (ed. Roland Marti), Domowina, 2004. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.67.222.13 (talk) 16:00, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

-Here is the quote I am referring to in the article: "Wilma left Albion a year after Kosyk's death taking his papers with him; these have been deemed lost. During this last period, Kosyk maintained intensive contacts with the young Serbian writer Mina Witkojc." Aside from needing to change "him" to "her" the point remains the article focuses that she definitely took them with her though ultimately noone truly knows their location.≤Kargin (talk) 14:06, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, according to what my grandmother told me, the issue of her taking papers with her was never really known. What was known only, actually, was that no papers remained when someone looked for them. It was then surmized/ reported that Ms. Filter took them with her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.237.199.42 (talk) 03:06, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
