| Pal Kokity: Kokity or Kokai? | Hello, I am a first generation Hungarian living in the USA. My father came over after the revolution and met my Mother. They divorced when I was young. He hasn't been very helpful for helping me rediscover my heritage. I have been trying to research my Hungarian family and have run into some dead-ends. From what I understand, the Kokity and Kokai families are/were the same family.
My father is Janos Kokity(1928 ). His Parents were Pal Lajos Kokity(1904-1990?) and Magdolna Anna Nagy(1907?-1990?). Pal's parents were Pal Kokity (1871-1936 may have gone by Kokai) and Katalin Balazs(1874-1957). Pal Senior's parents were Martin Kokity(1840's ) and Julianna Kerekes(1850's ). Most of these relatives appear to have lived in the Szabadka/Bacsbodrog area since the early 1800's.
I am in the process of relearning the Hungarian language and hope to visit my relatives to find out more about my Kokity (or Kokai), Nagy, Balazs, and Kerekes ancestry. Is there anybody out there that recognizes any of my ancestry?
Thank you, Pal |
