| Researching the Racz and Kertai family from Raba Patona, Gyor, Hungary. Istvan and Mary Racz, parents to Anna Agnes (Kertai), Agnes (Varga) Racz, Erno Racz, and Laci Racz all born in Raba Patona. They live in close proximity to my grandparens, Balint and Rozi (Fejes) Galgoczi, as the Galgoczi families are from Koronco, Gyor, Hungary, and are related. I would like to know if anyone is searching along these family lines. Thank you very much, Nadine
