This could be a long shot, but, my great granfather's name was Antal Czigany, and I think my grandpa was around the same age as these two.......can you provide more information?

You can look at the manifest yourself to see if that is your ancestor. www.ellisislandrecords.org
Surname CZIGANY does list in Szil's phone book.
www.magyartelekom.hu/fooldal.vm If Szil is your ancestor's village than look into LDS-Mormons site for church records, which you can order and gather ancestral information.

My father's dad was Andrew(Andras)who was married to Julia Esztergal and they lived out their lives in Cleveland, OHio. My father Rudolph spent time during the Great depression living with his uncle Alexander(Sandor)in Illinois.

Vicky,
I confirmed with my dad that his uncle Alex lived on Irving Street in Joliet Illinois and was married to Anna Gruber. Uncle Alex is the Sandor Czigany who came over in 1906 and was brother to my grandfather Andrew or Andras who came over in 1908. Their father's name was Antal or Anthony and he was living in Szil when they emigrated/immigrated. I have contacted several Czigany folks in the village of Szil but no one alive remembers anything about a Sandor, Andras or Antal Czigany. My grandfather put down on my father's baptismal record that he(Andrew) was baptized in another village so I sent away for baptismal/marriage/death records for that village and am awaiting them.

I have successfully found the trail of my ancestors in the village of Szil using marriage and birth records. I've been able to go back six generations from my father to the early 1700's in Szil records.
