wobblyheadedjon: Shula-Sulya

I was wondering if anyone has any idea about a Dennis "Dan" Shula in Hungary. He immigrated to Northern Ohio USA when he was very young. He is the father of Don Shula (NFL coach) if that helps. I believe that the Shula surname may have been Sulya at some point.

Shula's father was born in Hungary in 1899 and migrated to the United States with his family when he was just 6. Dan Sule (the family's original name) changed his name to the more American "Shula" while in school.
