Re: Boros - Jozsef & Elisabeth

I am only guessing, but it would probably have been Roman Catholic as that is what their daughter was.

Re: Boros - Jozsef & Elisabeth

familyromania — 2013-04-10 18:48:20Z

It's very difficult at this point to find your ancestors, because the state archive is colsed until the and of year. Maybe, if you know their faith/religion, we are a little bit closer to find them.
Best regards

haladowerdun — 2013-04-10 10:26:26Z

Not 100% sure, but I think it was a town called Nagyvárad or very close to it. It is now called by its Romanian name of Oradea.

Boros - Jozsef & Elisabeth

haladowerdun — 2013-03-28 05:45:39Z

Looking for any information on Jozsef Boros who lived/died in Transylvania and would have been born around 1900. Believed to have been married to Elisabeth and had three children - Magdolna, Jozsef and Eva. There may have been a fourth child who died.

Magdolna left for Australia in 1956 and Jozsef followed soon after. Eva remained in Hungary.

Re: Marcus/Halpern families in Romania (emigrated ~1896)

Constantin_Iurea — 2013-03-20 11:07:10Z

The romanian for Marcus could be "Marcu" but it looks to me, from their given names (children in special), that the Marcus family is not a romanian family.
A lot of people(Germans, Slavs, Jews) were encouraged to migrate to present day Romania (Transylvania) over the centuries (but very few are left).

Marcus/Halpern families in Romania (emigrated ~1896)

emilyjbernstein48 — 2013-03-19 02:30:57Z

I'm looking for information on the Marcus family (I'm assuming the name was Americanized, but I don't know the original).

Benjamin Marcus (1864) and his wife Rebecca Halpern Marcus (1872) emigrated from Romania with their children Morris (1891), Ray (1894), and Sadie (1896) around 1896 according to census data, although I have not found proof of their crossing or of if names were changed. After coming to their US, they had two more children, Mitchell (1898) and Jerome (1911).

Rebecca's father Hirsch Halpern (1846) emigrated in 1884 according to census data and lived with the family later on (1930), but I have not been able to find any other information on him or on Rebecca's siblings, although I believe that that she had some.

Later on, Morris married Ruth (maiden name unknown), Ray had a daughter named Marilyn who married Paul Robeson Jr., and Jerome married Helen Rotkowitz (and later became my grandparents).

I would any more information about any of my ancestors. Thanks so much!

Transylvania is a region of Romania, and Sibiu is a county in Transylvania. Sibiu town is the residence of Sibiu county, with administreative institutions. Also the archive of Sibiu county is located in Sibiu town.

Re: Where is Porumbaco di Jos?

onlymepat24 — 2013-02-25 15:35:03Z

Yes, I think that's it--now, what is Sibiu? Is this a city or a county? Is Transylvania a county or a region? I'm trying to narrow down exactly where they came from. Thank you for your reply.

Istria is now a part of modern day Croatia and Rovigno is a beautiful town... and because the area has been venetian/italian you´have a good chance to find written records.

Hukowce, Galicia - Where is it?

n8tgc — 2013-02-17 21:23:00Z

Am tracing my great-grandmothers (Eugenia Holyk, madian name Patkewich) passage from the Ukraine (then Austria) when she emigrated to Canada. I found her listed on the April 16 1909 ship passenger list from Hamburg to Quebec traveling on the Willehad.

The German list has her residence as "Hukowce" of Galician nationality which I know she attributed her ancestry as Ukrainian. I am sure that "Hukowce" could contain a typo and worse yet I am dealing with translating from German.

Nevertheless, anyone have a clue where this town/village may reside?

Thank you

Yes, Mary, is my husband's aunt. She is married to my husband's uncle. She is researching her family tree, which I've been trying here and there to help her with. It's possible she was notified by email that there was a response to her post and didn't know how to read your response. You can email her direct at Sanduu@aol.com.

Hi Michael:

Yes you are my 2nd cousin, your Dad is my first cousin. I am aware of you and your sister.

I also know of Nick and Francis. In fact I met them once, I also met your Dad and Mom.

I have met John re Uncle John several times.

My Dad (Michael) passed away 2 years ago. My Mom (Molly/Mary) is still alive but in an old age home. She suffers from dementia. She still remembers a lot but sometimes she is a bit confused or short of memories.

Alice and Jack (Bills daughter) lives in Edmonton. Jimmy his son lives in St. Albert , which is just a bedroom community of Edmonton.

I have two brothers Lloyd and Arnold as well.

Lloyd is a priciple at a local school and Arnold is a cabinet maker somewher in town.

I am semi retired now and I used to work for Telus as a telecom engineer. I also worked at other places (too numerous to mention).

You must be brothers with Nick and John. Nick is my Grandfather married to Francis (Barwin). Jacob would be my great great grandfather. I was with Stephen when I was a very an infant. I will attach a photo. My dad is Robert, and just yesterday (March 1, 2010) my wife Margaret (Pesola) gave birth to our first son, Jacob. 8lbs 11oz - 22in.

I had met with John in Hartford a couple of years ago and stayed with him and his wife Middy. We shared some photos and he had a lot of pleasant things to say about his brothers and the family.

Re: Surnames: MORMILA, BUDZILA, UNGERAN

2013-02-17 18:10:51Z

My name is Hugh Ungeran. I got a hold of your name and email address through a friend of a friend who was researching her ancestry.

My name was originally spelled Ungerian/Ungureanu/Ungarian/Ungarian .(other versions similar ).

I am not sure if we are related, possibly some 5 or so generations back; but, I wanted to share what I know about my ancestry with you to see if it makes any connections with you.

My Grandfather who's name was Stephan Ungeran (aka Ungerian, Ungurian, Ungerian, etc) immigrated to Alberta Canada, in 1901 from the village of Bella which was in the province of Bukovina (which later became part of Austria after the Crimean war). He served in the Crimean war as a private. His wife also immigrated with him. Her name was Oleana Basaraba.

His father (my great grandfather) Jacob Ungeran immigrated the following year with his wife (also an Ungeran) whose name was Mary Ungeran. During the same year (1902) my grandfather's brothers and sisters also immigrated to Alberta. His brothers' names were Mathew (aka Matt), George, Bill and a sister Dora (who later married a Malleck). Bill served in the Crimean war for 3 years as a Corporal and thus the difference in years in which they immigrated. They had to wait for Bill to be discharged.

My great grandfather (Jacob) was the Mayor of the Town of Bella and apparently when my dad (Michael) went back to the Ukraine to visit there in the 70's his old home place was still standing. In fact Dad said the neighbors are also related and were also Ungerans who remembered Jacob.

Bella is on the south end of the town of Chernovsty.

I'm not sure if any of this helps or if just adds more confusion.

Hugh Ungeran.

PS I have a lot of relatives in the US and other parts of Canada.

Hello David,

I'm not sure if you are still researching your family. If so, I would be interested in sharing information with you.

I married Jack Botu, son of Marion Botu and Lois Titlow, in 2011. I am interested in learning more about his family tree. Jack and I live in the San Francisco area. We understand Jack's dad is also in California but they have not been in contact in many years.

I would really like to hear from you. Thanks so much.

Do you have any information about the place of birth? Religion of them?
familyromania@yahoo.com

Re: Jenei's in Romania

familyromania — 2013-02-15 08:07:40Z

There is a problem in your localization.
Szekelydalya and Szokefalva are two different localities. The first is actually Daia in Hargita county, the second is Seuca in Mures county.
Also Hejjasfalva is today Vinatori in Mures county, but Hederfaja is Idrifaia in same Mures county. So which are the right places?
The next question is the faith/religion of your ancestors. If I want to research the familys from pre 1900 period in Transilvania, I have to know the religion of the persons, because the registers were completed by the Churches (for example: roman catholic, calvinist, unitarian, greek catholic, orthodox).
Please refine your information, maybe I will be able to help you.
You can also contact me at familyromania@yahoo.com from more details

Hello Mark,

I am trying to find more information about my 2nd Great Grandmother Piroska Jenei b abt 1850 in Hungary or Romania. She married my 2nd Great Grandfather Karoly Elek and they had four children:

Franciska: b1872 in Hungary
Janos: b1880 in Romania
Julia: b1882 in Hungary (note: she married George Bali)
Mary: b1885 in Hungary

My Grandmother Piroska was aka: Priscilla and it is rumored her first name may have been Elizabeth (obviously she lived to marry so she is not your Elizabeth).

I'm unable to find any more information on them and am wondering if you have her listed in all your Jenei's?

Great Grandfather peter anderson of romania

ravenscrag1 — 2013-01-20 02:50:59Z

I only have one real clue to my great grandfathers origins and it may not be accurate. On June 7, 1917 he signed an attestation paper for the canadian military. He clearly did not fill in the form himself so the spelling of his birth city is most likely phonetic.

On that form was entered Boutershin, Roumania. I can find no reference to a Boutershin in Romania so am thinking the spelling is off or it is the romanian version of the name. Can anyone help me identify what city that may have been. On the form he indicated May 9th 1879 as his date of birth. any help would be appreciated.

I don't hold out much hope for tracking this back. It may be that he changed his name when he came to canada.

Bercovici or Solomovitz & Schlifer or Schleifer

rcamm78 — 2013-01-18 15:26:37Z

Ethel Bercovici married Schmuel Zvi (Albert) Schleifer probably in Romania.
They had 3 children that I know of:
Frederick (Ephraim) Schlifer b. 1884 who married Dobrish Pincu in Iasi, Romania in 1902
Chaya (Chaia?) Schlifer b 1889 and
Soloman (Charles) Schlifer b 1889 who married Rose Sheyer in Canada in 1917.

Chaya and Soloman may have been twins. I am descended from Soloman Schlifer.
