ellie: Re: GARA - Garaj / Garai / Garay family19/02/2006, 16:42:12

My great-grand-mother -- GARA, ERZSE'BET was from Beregszász (Berehove, Ukraine just East of a Tisza river bend)

Her daughter (my father's mother) was born 7 May 1887, IGNÁTKO, ERZSÉBET (lakhely) Mándok 24 (Szabolcs) - west of the Ukraine border (Czechoslovakia) and was baptized R.Catholic - on 11 May 1887 - by Hajdurov Jovan, Kaplan

G-G-ma's husband -- Ruthenian? Ukrainian? IGNÁTKO, JÁNOS was an ‘artisan’ (iparus)

G-ma may have been the eldest child of her parents (per Roman Catholic baptismal record #36, A 864, pg. 46) - and - may have had one brother - name unknown (per her death record)

According to church record (for G-ma): god parents REHA, JANOS BLAR /BLAS, CAROLINA Ra’thy Koilviamus

G-G-ma G-G-pa spoke Hungarian at home (per 1930 US Federal Census)

Magyarized on the ship manifest as ERZSA IGNACZ, Hungarian, g-ma may have arrived at Ellis Island, New York City <1902-1904>

What I have learned, so far, you may read on my web site http://www.Kositch.US
