Her family birth name was originally spelled Jenča, but recorded as Yencha in the United States, both in her birth and death records.
After the death of her father in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1889, Anna and her younger brother John were returned to Široké in Austria-Hungary with her uncle Joseph Dolak, who went home with his wife and his own son John. Here she grew up with her maternal grandparents and uncle Joseph. Her brother John died in a diphtheria epidemic in Široké.
At age eighteen she returned to the United States. She sailed in steerage from the port of Antwerp, Belgium aboard the Kroonland, a British ship of the Red Star Line. She departed 12 November 1904 and landed at Ellis Island on 22 November 1904. She was carrying 12 dollars and travelling to Dorchester, Wisconsin to join her mother, stepfather and family. The ship registry lists her name as Anna Bohanyin.
She married her husband on May 22 1906 in St. Martin's Church in Cleveland. They had met previously in Europe when he served in the military, and he followed her to the United States. They intended to live in Wisconsin but they settled in Cleveland where he already had relatives. She and her husband had fifteen children, most of whom lived to adulthood.
