The town of Ilonokujfalu is in Ugocsa megye and at present in Ukraine.
The old 1910 Hungarian megye map is at :

A good locator of a town whose name is misspelled or from the old regime is :

Do post on Ukraine's Genforum, Ancestry board if you have not.
Your Dora passed thru Ellis Island under the spelling SCHAJOVITS. She left a father Lajos Schajovits in Nagy Kamjat.

Ann: Re: Sajovitz family
Thank you. Dora was my maternal grandmother.
There was a Sajovits family in Munkacs that owned a brickyard. Wondering if Dora's family was related. My maternal grandfather, Eugene Fuchs, was from Eperjes/Presov. His father, Adolf, also owned a brickyard.. Though Eugene and Dora married in the United States, I'm wondering if there might have been a connection between the two families.
Also, family information says that Adolf may have been an American citizen who returned to Slovakia. Is there any way of finding this information. It would have been around 1893.

Your welcome.
The LDS-Mormons have filmed the church records of Presov. You might want to check into them and gather ancestral information.
You are aware that surname FUCHS lists in Presov's phone book? www.zoznamst.sk
A S'AJOVIC'OVA (female) listing in town of Lucenec's phone book.
