| Nancy Upham: Re: Toth Family | Can you please help me? I am just starting my genealogy research into my Hungarian branch of the family.
My Toth family member was Mary Barbara Toth (Maria Borbola Toth) - daughter of Joseph Toth and Barbara Nemeth Toth (Borbola Nemeth Toth) - of Mezokovesd, Hungary. Joseph and Barbara Toth had 2 children: Mary Barbara and Joseph.
Mary Barbara Toth was married to Matyas Racz (born March 8, 1870 and died December 1, 1935), a farmer. I believe they were married in 1894. They were both from Mezokovesd, Hungary. He emigrated to the United States boarding the sailing ship Columbia, which departed from Hamburg, Germany, on April 23, 1902. He arrived at Ellis Island New York on May 3, 1902 with a travel destination of 3 Walnut Street, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. He traveled with several other men, all going to the same address to see a "friend" - Adam??? who probably recruited the Hungarians to work at the iron and steel mills in Pennsylvania. Matyas, who is shown on family records with the spelling Mathias, later moved to Ohio, probably to work for what is now US Steel, where many of his descendents still live.
I'm not sure if his wife, May Barbara, emigrated with him at the same time or later. They are said to have left several children behing in Hungary. The remaining children were born in Pennsylvania and Ohio - my grandmother, Mary Ann Racz, among them.
I am attaching a picture of Barbara Nemeth Toth with her son, Joseph Toth and his family - taken in Hungary.
Any info you can give me, either on my relatives (possibly yours) or how to conduct research about people in Hungary, will be gratefully appreciated - Nancy Upham
