| US_Eszto: Searching for Info re: Eszto | Hi!
Although I am not new to genealogical research, it has been a few years since I last dedicated time and effort into finding more about my ancestors.
I am in search of the Eszto family. I believe they came from Obad (my daughter happened across this gem this week!). My grandfather, Nicholas (Miklos, Nick) came to America (Baltimore, MAryland) via the port of New York with his father Anton in 1913. I have the original passports that were stamped. I cannot find any ship logs or passenger lists that verify the name of the ship or date of arrival.
Grandpop's mom was left behind to come at a later date. Her name was Elizabeth. I believe there may have been a younger sister, as well. Anton was still in Baltimore, Maryland when my Grandparents married in 1919. I have wedding pictures that show him with Grandpop. I have no idea why Elizabeth and the younger girl never came here, or what happened to them. My brother is in posession of a bank book with 300 (dollars?) that was meant for their passage money to America, but since it was never used.....??? Anton does not show up on any American census records, so I am assuming he returned home at some point in time.
I'm not sure if this helps with anything, but I do have a family portrait of my grandfather when he was about 10 years old with his Mom, Dad and I think his grandmothers from each side of the family. On the front of the portrait in the lower left hand corner, is Kuhn, M. and in the lower right hand corner, Temesvar.
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated! |
