| shesgotsauce: Stephen and Theresa Simon of East Chicago, Lake Co., Indiana | | I am researching the ancestry of a close friend, Betty Simon Goodrich, who died last year while I was pregnant. I named my daughter after her. She was born in Hammond, Indiana, and was ethnically Hungarian. I have located her in the 1930 census and her parents are listed as Stephen and Theresa Simon. Stephen was 34 and Theresa was 24 and both list their place of birth as Hungarian Czechoslovakia. The year of immigration is 1921. Stephen's occupation is bricklayer. I found a Stefan Simon on the Ellis Island website, arriving on Sept 4, 1921 on the Mount Clay from Hamburg. His age is listed as 25, his occupation is mason. He is listed as single, and the relative who paid his passage is Paul Simon of Beaver Falls, PA. His race is Magyar, and his fahter's name is Johann Simon of Abny. Torna. Debrod. I found a Paul Simon in the 1920 and 1910 censuses for Beaver Falls, PA. His birthplace is also listed as Debrod Hungary. He is a steel mill worker. His year of emmigration is listed as 1893, and I think I found him on the Ellis Island website as well. |
