holbg: family
Looking for the Vekov family in Vinga. Ancestors came to U.S. in 1906 and 1923. Often wondered if Gstvan had any brothers or sisters there. When they came through Ellis Island, the letter "C" was added to the name whereby we became the "Veckov" family.

Zlatica : Re: family Vekov, Velcsov

You know that there are some spelling errors in the EI manifests? Sure you do. His first name is not Gstvan but Istvan. The Ellis Island manifest is under VEKOV spelling but the C was added after the arrival to sound like Vekov in the "old country". Have you looked at the EI manifests of VELCSOV family? They were from Vinga too. Might your Vekov be actually Velcsov?

The town of Vinga is in Temes megye, Romania.
Here is an old map: http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910
The Romania's phone book in city of Timisoara is listing a surname VELCSOV. www.whitepages.ro

In the Romania's phone site the town of Vinga is in Arad megye. No listing for VEKOV or VELCSOV in Vinga.
An only listing for VEKOV, Ileana in Lipova (Arad). She might be related if only by marriage. I am sure you cross referenced all the VEKOVs manifests for any clues.

ag48ban: Re: family
I believe that Istvan Vekov is correct. My grandmother was born in Vinga and died in Vienna. From Austria she was in mail contact with Stephen (Istvan) Veckov living in the sixties or sventies in Altonna, Pa., USA. I am shure the family came from Vinga. The wife of Stephen was a cousin or friend of may grandmother. Some relatives of Stephen must still live in Altoona.

Dear Albert,
There are still Veckov's in Altoona. There are 3 generations of Stephen. What is the name of your grandmother? I may recognize the name. Mary was married to the Stephen who came here in 1906. Joyce

Dear Joyce,
the name of my grandmother was Helene Huber born Bogdanov.
She had some photos related to the Vekov's. I think I must still have them. Albert

What was your grandmother's name? I may recognize it. Stephen was married to a woman whose name was Mary Fermigin (spelling may be incorrect). The Veckov's are still living in Altoona. Joy

The Fermendzsin (Fermendzin, Fermendjin) family is settled since 1740 at Vinga. It seams that Marys mother was born Bogdanov. Albert

207cct: Re: family
The spelling they used here was Fermendjin. I am interested in the Vekov side of the family. Never heard anything about Stefan having brothers or sisters living in Vinga. He may have been an only child or adopted - don't know. The family never talked about it.

rachele: Re: family
My grandfather, his sister and parents all came over to the U.S. from Vinga, Romania in the 1920's (he was 3 yrs. old). The original last name of my Grandfather was Vekov (the info. is posted on the Ellis Island website). After moving to Detroit, they changed the spelling to "Vekoff". The family still lives in the Detroit area. I'm wondering if the other Vekov's listed on the Ellis Island website are cousins.
