Marjorie

My grandparents immigrated to the United states and I am
trying to locate family they left behind.
My grandfather was Mihaly Marosan, ship records state he was
from Somfalu and left in 1907. My grandmother was Agnes
Kovac Marosan, ship records state she was from Halmi and left
in 1912 with their children Sandor, Istvan, Janos (my father)
and Juliska. I would also like to know where Halmi and Somfalu
are located.

Marjorie: Marosan

Help needed with spelling. These two town are listed on the
ship log of my grandmother, Agnes Marosan

The first town looks like _darjai_ the second town looks
like_arkisrjlak. The writing is not clear on either.
Any ideas?

Zlatica : Re: Marosan

Marjorie,

To me one town looks like Adorjai and the other Saskarujlak. Doing some searching,they both might be in Szatmar megye as Adorjan and Sarkozujlak. Take a look again at the manifest see if you can make out the names any better.
Not that this is any indication but the surname MAROSAN does show up in Satu-Mare, Romania phone book.
www.whitepages.ro

Take a look in Szatmar megye
http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910
Locate SZATMAR NEMETI and going North-East you should see Sarkozujlak, Adorjan,and Halmi (Halmi is in Ugocsa megye but it shows up on this map).

Your welcome.

The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) website is listing a Reformed church records from or for Adorjan. You might have to resort to hiring a genealogist in Romania to do research for you.

I do not know of anyone but one is mentioned in this website. Click on Other Researchers after you get on Genealogy.

Marjorie: Help spelling name

The 1920 census has these names, but they are not real clear
and are hard to read. Hajalu or Hajaln, Arfiad? Emmigrated
1914, cannot find under these spellings, state they came
from Hungary. His wife Rose also came in 1914, I think rose
was changed also. Sorrak or Ddoral, ?okane immigrated 1916.
Any help with these names would really be appreciated.

Marjorie: Re: Help spelling name

The information was given to me on the Colorado genealogy
.com web site. It was from the 1920 U.S. Census Colorado,
Denver, Denver City, ED#210 January 7. It shows my Aunt
Julia Morrison living with these people. Rose is his wifes
name. Hope this helps.

Zlatica : Re: Help spelling name

Marjorie,

I would like to see the actual census to see how the writing looks. I did locate a reply on Colorado's Genforum.
It is possible that those people were basically from your
ancestors area being that the towns seem to start with the same letters as you have them but they are misspelled so can not locate them.
There were people by the name SORAK and DORAK that passed thru Ellis Island.

Marjorie: Re: Help spelling name

Hi, I don't have access to the census. The message I got
from Colorado web site states name as Hajalu or Hajaln,
Arfiad?, age 33 immigrated 1914, wife Rose, age 21 or 26
immigrated 1914, from Hungary. Sorak or Dorak ?okane, male
age 30 immigrated 1916 from Hungary. I was unable to find
anything at Ellis Island that matched. This information was
given to me from the 1920 Denver census.

Sorry, I do not have a subscription to Ancestry so can not get to see an actual census. I did see the post on Colorado's Genforum.

Why are you trying to locate Nagyszombat / Trnava, Slovak Republic? Does it have something to do with your ancestors?

Ter: Re: Bout Marosan name

The Marosan name is not popular in Hungary. Anybody who knows something about politics and history knows what i am talking about without hurting anybody's feelings. Forgive me if i do that! Unfortunately it is so true. But try the Budapest area,around the �rd region.You can start reading about Marosan, and that might give you some idea where to look. The name is" Maros�n Gy�rgy".

Zlatica: Re: Help spelling name

Marjorie

Barb suggested that you look into a village by the name Hosszupalyi.
The village falls into Bihar megye and is in Hungary.

www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm

The surname Marosan might be originating from an Maros-Torda megye. (just a guess)
There are listings for MAROSAN in the Bihar megye's phone book.

kocs: Re: Bout Marosan name

Hello Marjorie,
I am from Transilvania (Romania). Hungarian and Romanian speaker.
I just saw on Radixforum your request for help spelling some names...
One, you mentioned it's most probably HAJNAL ARPAD, but at
this moment I have no idea about Darok ?okane.
Please note, that the ...ne" termination mean "wife of..."
Halmi (Halmeu in Romanian)is located in actual Satu Mare county,
and Somfalu (Corni in Romanian) in Maramures county.

Marjorie: Re: Bout Marosan name

My grandfather, Mihaly Marosan was born about 1876. His
immigration records states that he is from Somfalu, which I
understand is now called Corni. He married Agnes Kovacs, she
was born April 17, 1878, in Sarkozujlak, now called Livada.
My grandfather came to the U.S. in 1907. My grandmother
came in 1912 with their children Sandor, Istvan, Janos and
Juliska. Any help you could give me on locating records of
them in Romania would be greatly appreciated.

My grandparent were both Roman Catholics. So I don't think
that they were jewish. Their children were all baptized
in the Catholic church. They were from Romania.

Ter: Re: Bout Marosan name

If you start to look information on 1956 feedom fighting(so called revolution) in Hungary, you will find your answer about Gy�rgy Maros�n.I do not want to offend you because you have the same name. You had nothing to do with his actions. Believe me when i tell you, even his relatives had power, people were so scared of them. It is my experience personally.
His actions really do not belong on this forum, but you can find information yourself concerning his name. J�nos K�d�r and Gy�rgy Maros�n, good comrades.

The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) website is not listing any church records under your ancestral villages.
You might have to hire a researcher in Romania to do the research for you in the appropriate archive.

Do post on Romania's boards if you have not.

Victoria: Name of Marosan

Dear Searcher:
My Mother's Maiden name was Marosan. Her father was
Oliver Marosan....
She was born in 1927 in Budapest, Hungary and
immigrated to this country (at age 17) in 1944 via Ellis Island
after time spent in a German Labor Camp.
She is still alive and maybe she can shed some
light on the name "Marosan" that is not negative as it
was before the 1956 Revolution....and I am
sure there were brother's to her father....
as one 1st cousin to my Mother is also alive
and well living in England.
Hope to help you,
Victoria Schubert Krogg

Victoria Schubert Krogg

Dear Marjorie:
We share the same name - Marosan. I am in the U.S.
as well. It is my mother's name.
She was an only child - and emigrated to the U.S>
in 1944. However, her father Oliver Marosan had
brothers. I am in contact with my mother's
first cousin whose father was also Marosan
and my mother's father's (my grandfather's)brother....
is of course deceased but there is still family.........
This family name wasn't unpopular till 1956 -
a time of infamy for the Hungarians...very sad.
