could be . my grandmother's oldest brother was an andras. i went to hungary to research some of this a few years ago and the village where my grandmother, esther arvay was born is now vinici in slovakia... all of her siblings emmigrated to the staes but andras.. when i was there i spoke to a widow of one of the decendents still living there but they had no records or photos to speak of. my info comes from the records in kosa spelled wrong the capitol now.. a friend came with me to do the translating. we also tried to check old church records but all were confiscated and sent to the capitol where we saw them. your andras lived not far from where they were born and it would have been very possible that it is the same family... i have some pictures from the first world war with writing on them but was unable to have them translated because the writing is in pencil and illegible... hope this helps
