As usual, I was searching for something entirely different when I came across ...
Three Rivers
Hudson~Mohawk~Schoharie
History From America's Most Famous Valleys
And I had to chuckle over how Mrs. Mocko came to live in "our" Little Falls:
"Because the Y and J are written similarly in Slovak, Little Falls became the home of a large number of Americans of Slovak descent. Mrs. Anna Mocko Ragan planned to settle in Little Falls, N. J., but through error came to Little Falls, N. Y. She wrote back to friends in her native Myjava describing the place in very favorable terms, and many migrated to this city."
Interesting stuff at:
