Hordos, Steve: Family Tree

I am looking for anybody that can help me trace my family tree. My mother's maiden name was Mate. I believe the families originated from Sojtor and Hahot. They emigrated to Canada around 1903. Thank you in advance.

The village of HAHOT and SOJTOR belongs to Zala megye.

The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) have filmed church records so check out their website for the films, which you can order and gather ancestral information.

The Hungarian phone site is at:

About 961 MATEs passed thru Ellis Island. You could look over some of the manifests for possible relatives.

12 HORDOSs passed thru EI and seven of them are from Lojtor / Sojtor).

Thank you for the information. I was able to find my Grandfather, Grandmother, An Uncle and 3 Aunts as well as My Great Grandmother through Ellis Island Link. No luck so far on the Mate side, but will call my last surviving Aunt tomorrow to get more info to track.

Thank you again so much for your help.

Try locating Ellis Island manifest with either of the websites :

www.stevemorse.org
www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html

I have seen manifests where the first name is last and the last name first. Sometimes if there is an N in a name it was written as an U and does Knez became Kuez. Possible the M might look like a W or N and thus the manifest is not found under Mate.

JBH: Re: Family Tree

Not sure if Hordos is a popular Hungarian name but it is my last name. I know my Grandmother and Grandfather both came to America from Hungary and Romania and also have relatives in Canada.
