Perdi - Covasna forum: Janos: Re: csalad

	Jeanne: ancestry I am tracing my ancestry. My mother's maiden name was Perdi. Her mother's maiden name was Sipos. They immigrated from Budapest in 1922. Mom's name was Margit Perdi, her mom was Ilona Sipos. I am having trouble with this because I do not speak Hungarian. If anyone recognizes those names, please e-mail me.		15/10/2006, 18:22:47 #: 200610572 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Janos: Perdi families in Transylvania Dear Jeanne, The Perdi surname is frecvent here in Transylvania (now Romania), in Kovaszna area. I have some short tree fragments of them. By the way, Levente Perdi, who made the first posting on this board at this moment live in the States. I was colleg with his father, here in a local electric motors company. Janos - from Saint George (Sepsiszentgyorgy/Sfantu Gheorghe)		15/10/2006, 22:41:20 #: 200610588 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Jeanne: Re: ancestry Thank you. I was able to get the Ellis Island information, but I did not notice Kiskunmajsa. I had no Idea where my grandfather was born. My mother did tell me that the original last name was Toth-Perdi and that his family was originally from Alsace-Lorraine (I don't know if I am spelling it correctly) in France.		16/10/2006, 16:43:02 #: 200610619 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Jeanne: Re: Perdi families in Transylvania Janos, my mother did mention Transylvania quite often. She thought there might be some connection with Vlad the Impaler, but I have been unable to find any connection. Maybe she just liked Dracula movies. I do have a photo album with pictures of her relatives. I asked her to label them because without her, I would have no idea who these people were. The bad part is she used mostly first names. I have an Uncle Joe Sipos in a WWI Cavalry uniform and a wedding photo dated 09/12/1914 -Toth-Perdi, Istevan and Sipos, Ilona. I also have their marriage certificate, which I will try and scan. I also have a picture of a couple "Kati married Gyuri Ribar". I think Kati is a sister of Ilona Siops. Again, I am hampered by not being able to speak the language.		16/10/2006, 17:01:34 #: 200610620 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Janos: Perdi families in Transylvania Jeanne, The other surnames you mentioned (Sipos and Toth) are also very frecvent in the mentioned area (Kovaszna, Transylvania). Joe could be Janos or Jozsef Sipos (for Ellisisland search) and Istevan is Istvan (Steve), Ilona is Helen. The Ribar surname is strange for Transylvania... I am able to translate documents from Hungarian or Romanian into English. You always have my addresses in "profile" near my messages. Please send the copies to my mailbox. Lucky hunting!

	kezdi: Re: ancestry Jeanne, Hope you were able to get the additional information from the Ellis Island Original Scanned Manifest. Here's some more info. from the Scanned Manifest of what looks like Ilona Perdi third trip to the US in Nov.3 1922. Her b.place listed as Magyar Czerna (aka Magyarcsernye), Yugoslavia - before 1920 Hungary, today Nova Crnja, Serbia. Destination in the US: brother John Sipos, Weirton, W.V. Closest relative in Hungary: cousin Joe Elek (in Hung. Elek Joe=Jozsef) Budapest, Vacrisitza 22 I(Floor) 8(Number) Hungary. Vacrisitza is a misspelled street name, -sitza=utcza=Street, Vacri could be many thing, one guess could be Vaci utca, one of the most famous walking-shopping street in Budapest.

	Imola: Re: ancestry Hy, my name is Imola and I'm from Transylvania. Actually I was looking for my grandmothers relatives when I found you, my grandmothers name was Perdi Emma she was born in Kovászna city and what I know about the big family that they had their own flag and a big land, my grandmother she never told me those things because she was frightened surviving 2 wars. My cousin told me about these things. My grandmother was the oldest child in the family she was born in 1919.19.12 and she died in 2002. I hope that it's useful. Greetings, Imola		15/07/2010, 23:43:45 #: 201007476 post replyedit abuse? profile
