Howard: MEZEY

Looking for anything to help trace my mother's relatives/burial site for her parents.
Her name was, we believe, Magda MEZEY dob. 29/06/34
She was left in Darjeeling immediately prior to the revolution.
Parents : Louis and Magda MEZEY.
Louis was a travelling agent and Magda was a professional dancer.
They lived in SASHALON or SOSHALON (?) very near to Budapest. ( I believe this was the English spelling of the town)

Zlatica : Re: MEZEY

I will try to help with some websites :

Check out Ellis Island website for your family name. There were 49 MEZEYs that did pass thru that port.

Hungary's phone site is at :
www.matav.hu/tudakozo

www.rat.de/kuijsten/navigator
http://vivisimo.com
www.imrehun.com pictures of a village
www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm (mapquest) is a good locator. For sure Sashalon is not a Magyar / Hungarian spelling of a town but above website should help some.

Diana Faught: Re: MEZEY

My good friend Louis Mezey was from Hungary as well. I know that he left Hungary during the revolution. I beleive he was born around 1901. Do you have the birth date of the Louis Mezey you are referring to? What is a traveling agent?

Sincerely,

Diana faught

Pomdude: Re: MEZEY

I am sorry it has taken so long to reply but I had forgotten about this site.
My Mother is very interested in your responses and will post shortly.
A travelling agent - we are not very sure exactly what this was either. It could mean a salesman or a person who was an agent for his wife as a dancer ?
I think the age is possible (1901) but we are have no way of knowing for sure.
If you are still there please post and perhaps my mother can piece this all together with you.
Many thanks,

Howard

To,
Diana
My E-mail address for correspondence is Margaretmezey -a-t- yahoo.co -d-o-t- uk

We now know that my parents were part of a dance troupe called the Mezey Revue. They danced in the Seaview Hotel Singapore in April 1934. Presumably they moved onto India as I was born in Calcutta in June 1934.
We also know that my mother (Magda Miskey)was ill in a hospital in Cairo at the end of 1936.
The troupe then danced in Khartoom in 1937 and we know from my mother's letters that they had also visited Baghdad, Teheran and Haifa in 1938.
There is no further information after this dat.

My baptism certificate shows my parents residence as Sashalom, Hungary. I have been there twice but have not found any trace.

Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,

Margaret Nevill
