I'm sorry,as far as I know my ggrandfather John Gecsey was born in Budapest,Hungary and his wife in Hungary according to a census I found on them in a VA census. When they came to the US I have no idea just a time frame of some where around 1800's.The birth of the 2 oldest children I could find was they where born in ??? Connecticut.Yes,I have been to the EllisIsland site.But will check it out again.Also,not exactly sure Gecsei is a off spelling or not was told by my grandfather that the I was changed to y by immagration.All ggrandparents and grandparents are gone have little to go except for told stories.I do know that one of his sisters who passed away many yrs ago had reverted her spelling from Gecsey to Gecsei either that or it was a miss spelling on SSI part.Thats all I really have to go on.I'm assuming finding him in the census's he had become a naturalized citizen I guess?
