| I wonder is there is a link between the two families here?
The years seem to line up but the names are different. Read the previous posts and see if you can relate to any of it from what has been passed down to you. The Bander that followed the Varga name, I think is a designation for the militia that was put together by the Russyn Stepan Bander against the invading throne from Moscow. Previous Posts...................................... Hello My grand-grand-grand(?) father name was Varga Janos.He was born in 1876 in Mezobodon(Transilvania,Romania) his wife name was Fekete Anna and she was born in Marosludas(Trans.) in 1880.Their son Varga Daniel is my grand-grand father. That's all I know... <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This was my earlier message: I too am following the Varga name. My grandpa was born in then Hungarian Nagylak to Istvan and Szusana Varga. His name is Janos Varga (1919 - Present). Istvan(Stefan) Varga (died in about 1955 in Lovrin Romania) had 6 children (Szuzana (i.e. Slovak Zuzka), Maria (i.e Slovak Marka), Judith (i.e. Slovak Judka), Istvan he was blind(i.e Slovak Pista), Janos my grandfather (i.e Slovak Iano) and Ghuri (i.e George). My grandfather knows very little of his fathers family except that his father was Istvan Varga-Bander. I don't know what the "Bander" designation was. His father supposedly had two brothers Janos and Peter Varga-Bander. My grandfathers grandfather was Janos Varga-Bander and he either died in Nagylak or some other town in Hungary. My greatgreatgrandfather (Janos Varga-Bander had two brothers, one moved to Butin (Timis County), Romania (This is where my mother comes from)and the other brother moved to Mocrea (Arad County) Romania. The intersting this is that the brother that moved to Butin was the greatgrandfather to my grandpa on my mothers side on his mothers side. I am trying to find out where the Janos Varga-Bander in Nagylak came from. They all spoke Slovak & Hungarian. My grandpa knows that he has one cousin in Magyar-Nagylak that he lost conact with. | ||
