Hello,
I was really attracted to your post. I had to write you and tell you that No I don't know much about my family but as you can see i'm a Kuzma, my grandfather was 100% hungarian if I do believe.. My father knows more but that's kind of strange that your family may be from Hungry too. I live in michigan and as far as i know my family has lived here most of the time.

As you can tell from my last name I'm a Kuzma, What gets me is i don't know much, my father knows a lot more. But We are from Michigan and from what i'm finding there are a lot of Kuzma family's all from around the same area.

Kuzma Relatives

ShiloahGarvin — 2009-01-22 19:33:26Z

I am trying to find the family of Louis Kuzma, his Wife Frances (Frantiska) and their children Paul, John (Jan) and Mary (Mariska) They lived in New York/New Jersey. Paul had two sons (possibly more) nicknamed Bobby and Packy. I believe Packy would have been a toddler in about 1935.

My Great Aunt Emily Kuzma lived with them when she came over from Slovakia in 1913.

I am confused because I had always believed that she was czech, but Louis's her uncle states that he is hungarian. I have not been able to find any ellis island records, but have census records.
I am trying to find out anything I can about Kuzma family, and whether or not they survived WWII

If anyone has any info about this family I would appreciate it, my grandmother is 84 now, and Aunt Emily married her father when her mother (emily's sister) Died of tuburculosis.

Anna Kuzma

ljj51 — 2008-07-21 23:46:09Z

She came to the U.S. on December 26, 1951 and passed away in Denver, Colorado on June 22, 1955.
I would like any information. I know she had a sister that at one time was looking for her. Don't know her name.
Thank you,

Kuzma Kovaly Lakatos Nizny Hrusov

After the war he married Gayle Helwig, a nurse. In later years he was a professor of photography and graphis design at Miami University of Ohio. My mother, Gayle, worked in the M.U. student health center. She passes away in July of 2000. Both were laid to rest in the Oxford, Ohio Cemetary.
