Take a look of this family below from Ellis Island records, race Magyar, coming to husband/father Mikael Mislai in Stanford, Ct.
Parkany was part of Hungary until 1920, today is in Slovakia and called Sturovo. When you open the following Map of Hungary, you'll see both names at the very top, just across the border: http://lazarus.elte.hu/moterkep/mb.htm [use Exlorer browser]
I hope this helps
