| mischan: Re: Borbala Matta | Thanks for response to Borbala Matta. Ellis Island 1912 immigration indicates last residence as Lazony, Hungary. 1882 Hungarian Gazetteer identifies that as Zemplen county, Nagy-Mihalyi seat/district and town of Lazony. She arrived in USA single/alone. 1915 Marriage license application lists birthplace Austria. 1935 death certificate lists Czechoslovakia. Official documents list Borbala, family/friends use English equivalent of Barbara. Her father Andy Matta from A-H was deceased as of June 1915. Her mother Anna was alive then living in A-H. No siblings are referenced anywhere. Have located the 1930 U.S. census document listing her household and children. Borbala remarried circa 1928/30. She died Mrs. Andrew Konja in Gary, Indiana in 1935.
Janos Csacsko uses English equivalent of John on all official U.S. documents. No positive identification through Ellis Island yet, hence no last residence information. His father had same name, was a farmer and alive as of June 1915 in A-H. Mother's name unknown but deceased at same time. No siblings are referenced anywhere. Began using Chasko spelling when children were born beginning in 1918. Cannot locate family in 1920 U.S. census documents but continue looking. Apparently did not apply for U.S. citizenship. John died in April 1926 in Gary, Indiana.
All family photos/documents destroyed in residential fire circa 1930.
