rmcsc: Hrabovski
I am looking for my family lineage. My mother's father was George Hrabovski (I believe this is the correct spelling, though i must admit I am not sure). He was born in America, however, the family say's his father came here from Hungary. That is all the information I have. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Zlatica : Re: Hrabovski
Austria-Hungary was a dual monarchy and a large one.
You will need to locate a name of a village for your ancestor that came from the "old country" in order to proceed with the research. Do you know what language your ancestor spoke? That might put him into other country and not just Hungary.

The name HRABOVSKY exists in Slovak Republic's phone book.
www.zoznamst.sk
The spelling HRABOVSZKY / HRABOVSZKI would be Magyar/Hungarian spelling and that name too lists in SK's phone book.

Start with going on Ellis Island website and locating the ship manifests for HRABOVSKI, HRABOVSKY, HRABOVSZKY,and HRABOVSZKI.

The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) have filmed the church records of several countries but you need to know the name of a village and religion of your ancestor to order the films.
www.bmi.net/jjaso to familiarize yourself with the church wording.

If you ancestor had social security numbers or was naturalized citizen than those forms would give some important information.

lamont_szentgyorgyi: Re: Hrabovski
My mother's maiden name is Hrabovszki, and she is from the town of Sarkad in Hungary. Background is mixed, the name seems to have Slovak origin, though her father spoke Hungarian only, just a few words of Slovak.
This may help you some, I hope.
Good luck in your search!

7 HRABOVSKIs in SSDI but no George but there is a George Hrabovsky.

A spelling HRABOWSKI exists in Poland.

George would have been his American name and thus not that way in the "old country". It could have been Gyorgy or Juraj.

Üdvözlöm!
Nemrég találtam rá erre az oldalra.
A dédnagymamám Hrabovszky Teréz /szül.:1880 körül/, Gyulán van eltemetve, anyja neve Galló Mária, férje Szentes Károly(szül.: Heilinger, csak valamikor 1900 elején magyarosította) és ezen az ágon megtorpantam.
Kérem, ha kutatásai során esetleg találkozott ilyen nevekkel és segítségemre tudd lenni, jelentkezzen.
Köszönettel.: Sz. Zsuzsa
