Looking for any info on my maternal great grandmother, Mary Hreha, born 1880 in Hungary. She possibly came from Buda Pest, and was well off. She came to America when she was a child.

Do you know what language your ancestor spoke?
You need to locate a precise name of a town in order to proceed with the research.
Take a look in Ellis Island website.
