Re: Julio Bella or Bela, son of "Ziggy" Bela/Bella

2006-11-22 23:36:24Z

Hi -- Thanks for the note. I actually heard a few months back from another relative, Lauren Slepsky, who filled me in a little bit on Julio Bella -- told me his real name was Julius Margitza, etc, and gave a bit more detail. I actually live in Scotland (though I was born and raised in US), so it would probably be easier if I phoned your uncle. A friend of mine in England, who is even more heavily involved in the history jazz violin and who is a very big fan of Julio Bella's playing would probably be even more interested in talking to Julio's brother. E-mail me directly at kevcof@aol.com and we can figure out what the best way to proceed is -- take care -- Kevin Coffey

kevcoforkney — 2004-02-27 19:25:18Z

Hello. I am looking for information on a musican named Julio Bella, who was the son of `Gypsy' violinist Ziggy Bela or Bella. Julio was birn around 1934 or '35 in Pittsburgh and was in Detroit area by 1945. In the middle '50s he was working a musician in the Detroit area, at which time he cut an album of jazz violin for the Fortune Label. After that, I know nothing...
Would be grateful for any information.

Re: Bella family from Fayette co. PA

ebartell1 — 2003-12-04 10:34:31Z

My grandfather's name was Wasco or sometimes spelled Vasile Belejcak. He came from Bardejov in the Slovak Republic. However, his name was never changed. He came first to Juniata, Pa which is in Fayette Co., He had a brother, Peter that came also. However, I don't think he had a brother Joe. There was also a Brilla that came. If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know. Thanks. Eleanore

Great-Grandfather from Hungary

2001-06-04 00:51:11Z

Hi, my name is Frank Bella. I'm the fourth Frank in my family. My Great-Grandfather was from Hungary. When he died in the late 60's, we found out he was actually from Transylvania. Everyone thought that was funny because of all the Bela Lugosi jokes we've been teased with all of our lives. I'd be interested to hear from any Bellas who know anything about the "Transylvania Connection".

Thank you Erica! Unfortunately, my great grandfather has already passed away...so it wouldn't be him living in Austria..but like you said, maybe there is still a connection..if you find out anything else, please let me know...Thanks!

Bella surname

2000-06-07 03:58:46Z

My father's cousin "Paul Bella" would be too young to be your great grandfather, but that doesn't mean there isn't a connection. From what I know Paul, Robert, and Joseph were common names passed down through the family. My grandmother who currently lives in Germany has done some research into the family. Unfortunately my Uncle Peter Bella has the information and won't pass it on. I've attempted to get the info. several times with no success. To the point, Paul Bella, is currently living in Vienna, Austria. There are actually quite a few cousins living in Vienna. I don't recognize the surname "Farkas". I will check with my father next time I talk to him and see if the name is familiar. I know at some point in the early 1900's a family of Bella's, distantly related settled in California. Unfortunately I don't know where they settled or if they remained there.

They moved to Elkhart, IN where my Grandfather, Joseph Bella Jr was born on 10-12-1912, died in Michigan 10-23-87. They had 8 children counting my grandfather. Do you think there's a connection?
