I am the daughter of Stephen Julius Kayatin (died 1997) and Ann Staskewicz Kayatin (died 2001, form California, Pa). I have a sister, Stephanie Ann Kayatin Lemp. My dad grew up in Daisytown, Pa and went to Centerville High School. He had 2 brothers, William (died, Lorain, Oh)and Albert Louis (died, Gary, Ind.). My grand-parents were Joseph Kayatin and Josephine Kiss Kayatin (lived in Gary, Ind for a short time). Both of my parents have passed on and are buried in Belleville Cemetary (Pa) a few rows away from my grandparents. I have done some family research. If interested email with your adress and I will be happy to send what I have. The nun mentioned on the message board does live in Michigan, Mary Kayatin. The family is from Kisrat which is in Ung county Hungary...the very north-east part. I have tried to do some research on the meaning of 'Kayatin', I am going on the assumption that 'atin' perhaps may mean 'son of'...just a very haphazard guess. I have also done some further research and found that Kayatin is actually a derivative of a longer name. I do not have that particular information with me but will try to post later this week.
Just found this website, but will be back!

PS My dad had a funeral service in Daisytown at the Hungarian church...many people showed up but as I was the extreme baby of the family I did not know many of the people...however my sister did...Also am surprised that there are any Kayatins left in Hungary...always heard that my grand-father and his brother tried to bring the whole family over to the states:o)....Does anyone have any information on any of the Kayatins in the military in Hungary before the move to the US???
