Otsn: Varga family
My grandfather, Josef Varga, was born in Hungary in March of 1879. He came to the U.S. in 1902.(Yes, I've check Ellis Island records-no luck). We have been told he was born in the Budapest area. My father says he did not say alot about his life in Hungary. He did say his family had a vineyard, raised black Arabian horses, made and bottled their own wine. He had 7 brothers and 3 sisters. We do not know their names. He served in the Crown Guard in 1900. I wrote to the present Crown Guard and they do not have records before WWI. My grandmother, Julia Nemeth worked in the palace in Budapest as the head pastry chef. She died when my father was 4, so very little is known about her family history. I've been researching since 1999 and no luck. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions? Thank you,
Judi

Varga Boti,
Koszonom for writing! Below is a translation of your reply a friend provided. I don't speak or read Hungarian, sorry. Where is Andrafalva, Deva and Bihardioszek? Does any of my family history sound familiar to you? Did you have a Joseph Varga in your family line who served in the Crown Guard (my grandfather)? We do not have the names of my grandfather's brothers and sisters, so I don't know if we are related to your Gyula. I would love to hear from you again
Judi

I am a Varga also. The family emigrated from Andrafalva in the 1900's. Then
they moved to Deva and finally to Bihardioszeg. The older kids moved on to
Bacska, and back to Hungary. I am the grandson of Gyula (Julius) Varga, the
youngest of ten. if you recognize your family ties in this please write.
thanks

Zlatica : Re: Varga family
The only VARGA in my family tree is thru marriage. My cousin's daughter married a Varga in Slovak Republic.

Possible that your Andrafalva might be Andrasfalva?
The town of Bihardioszeg is in Bihar megye / county and at present in Romania. The town of Deva seems to be in Romania and in Serbia.

Otsn: Re: Varga family
Boti,
Thanks again for writing. Your English is so much better than my Hungarian! :-)
It sounds like most of your Varga family (csalad?) migrated to Romania. Do you know why?
You mentioned the younger children (gyerek?) moved back to Hungary. When did they move back?
You asked my religion. I am a Methodist. My grandfather Josef (Jozef?) raised my father and his five sisters Catholic. My grandmother, Julia Szuras Nemeth was also a Catholic. What is reform? Is it refomate Jewish? I have often wondered if our family was originally Jewish and my grandfather left Hungary to avoid persecution. I know there are Varga's that are Jewish. That would be exciting and interesting to know!
I know very little about the family in Hungary except they owned land, had a vineyard, bottled their own wine and raised black Arabian horses. They did all their own work since the family was so large. My grandfather Josef Varga was born in March of 1879 in Hungary. He was in the Crown Guard in 1900 and came to America in 1902. We do not know the name of his 3 sisters and 7 brothers.
I will be interested to know what your grandfather says.
Koszonom for writing!

Az én ükapám V. János tudomásom szerint Bihardiószegen született 1872-ben (felesége Diószegi Júliann), nem tudom hány gyerekük volt, csak azt hogy dédapámat Varga Jánosnak hívták és Nagysármásra költözött (Kolozs megye) ahol feleségül vette Linka Bertát. Egyébként reformátusok voltak.

Otsn: Re: kérdés
Kedves Boti,
I was wondering if you heard from your grandfather about your family history. Also the reformate church you talked about - is that Hungarian Reformed? I have heard of Reformed Jewish, but didn't know until recently that there was a Hungarian Reformed church. There is one in my area of the U.S.
I have had so much trouble researching my Varga family for the last 3 years, the one place I haven't researched is the possibility that our Varga's in Hungary were Jewish born.

Otsn: Re: kérdés
Boti,
I think you misunderstood. Sorry my Hungarian is so limited.
My father's family was raised Catholic. I only recently learned that reform can also refer to protestant religion as well as Jewish.
As far as I know, we do not have Jewish people in our family. but I have started looking into that possibility because there is a Jewish Genealogy site that has Vargas listed.
I have searched and searched for Varga family members in Hungary since 1999 with no luck. Looking into the possiblilty that our ancestors may have been Jewish is my newest way of researching the family in Hungary.
Thank you,

Hello:
Anyone have any information regarding Csepany (Csepari, Csepanyi)family from the district of Hevesmegye? Also from Eger city or area? The names were sometimes hypenated as the original family name was Csepany. My grandmother lived in Budapest and she also had a sister named Agnes(although I believe it was a given name when she joined the nunnery in Jaszbereny)Possibly her true name was Elizabeth. I am looking for connections to relatives in Eger or in Hevesmegye district.

It is possible that your ancestor could have come thru other port like Baltimore, Boston, Philadephia, Galveston or Canada if you can not locate his manifest on Ellis Island website.

I am getting mail from time to time from radix forum, and this last one is giving me hope that I can go further in search for my ancestors.
Actuali my grandfather is born in Andrasfalva-Bukovina in 1894 september 26th. His father was Jozeph Varga (Anna-mother) and his mother was Veronika David (child of Joseph and Roza Sebesteny) also from Andrasfalva.
Also I have information from "Testimonium ortus & baptismi".
Number is 360/II, book # IX, page 49 #71, also house where they lived is # 24 and baptism was on september 29th. 1894., and the prist name was J.Kubafsek.
I can't go further and if you can help me anyway, to find my ancestors further, maybe even far as is Madefalva in 1774?
Can you please take a look in church records which you have and give some information?

Beth Long: Bukovina and Deva
Hello Laszlo,

Saw your post; For about five years (together with a Hungarian researcher), I've been working on a database of Bukovina Szekely and their descendants. Our database now has over 30,000 people in it.

Laszlo Rudolf, my Hungarian friend and colleague, has a special interest in the Szekely who migrated to Vojvodina, and has made many research trips there.

Later this year, we are hoping to make a trip to Deva and start entering the data of the 600 families who settled there.

You can contact me at bethlong3 -k-u-k-a-c- yahoo -p-o-n-t- com or Laszlo Rudolf at rlaszlo@freemail.hu.

Hi Judi:
Actually, I have seen some artist drawings of Budapest in the 1800's and they showed people tending to their vineyards. The castle was in the background on the hill so I am thinking they were in a different district than the actual castle. Each 'district' usually kept their own records. I myself was born in the Rakospalota district which would be on the OTHER side of the Danube. I am assuming some of the areas around what is now Budapest were later annexed to the city as was Rakospalota. The area you are looking at near the castle which is still there, would probably be the old Buda area, such as Janoshegy etc.

Minera: Re: Varga family
Hi Judi:
As you mentioned your family worked in the castle itself and as one of the guards. My guess would be they must have lived in the area near the castle as commuting was not that easy back in those days except by carriage or horseback. Perhaps you could do a search for some old maps of Budapest. It is sad that people move and looze touch with family, which is why I try to keep in touch with my relatives in Budapest. My mother's family was from the Eger/Hevesmegye area and she died in 1991 (in Budapest) and my brother in 1995, and most of her family are deceased also. So it is a bit difficult to track her side of the family. My great aunt who died in 1978 was a great family historian. She lived in a convent in Jaszbereny, and even with my information on hand it is still very difficult finding information about the cousins I used to correspond with in my youth. I wish you luck, but it can be discouraging sometimes.

Minera: Re: kérdés
Hi
The Hungarian Reform church was/is a protestant religion, not affiliated with the Jewish religion. My mother was Catholic and my father belonged to the Reformatus church when they married. I was baptized in the Reformatus church in the Rakospalota district, but later converted to the Catholic religion. When I married my husband who is also Catholic, I received copies of both of my baptism certificates from Budapest. There are still church records that would probably help find information as to who was baptised and when, including godparents (as in my case)although most birth records are probably kept by the main government offices.

Hi Judi:
If your grandfather was Reformatus he was not Jewish but protestant. Varga is a very common name in Hungary, so that makes it all the more difficult to find information. If you have a birth place the LDS site has a lot of information you can probably access for birth/baptism/death records in all religions in Hungary. Good luck in your search :)

Thank your for all your replies! There's a wealth of information in them.
My grandfather and grandmother were actually raised Catholic, as was my father. Where in Budapest could I get their baptism or birth records. I have no idea which district in Budapest they are from. I have been to the LDS site many times and do not remember birth/baptism/death records for Hungary. Is there a link?
Like you said, Varga is a very common name in Hungary and the search can be very discouraging. I haven't done much since my father died, but I want to get back to it. Again, thanks for your kind information.

Hi Judi:
You say your grandparents were raised Catholic? If they were born in Hungary, and baptised there the records would be kept by the church where they were baptised. Another question. When did they leave Hungary? Under the communist regime everyone had and identification number and a book
' szemelyi igazolvany' that they carried with them. They have numbers in them. If they left after the papers were mandatory the birth place could be easily traced, as would parent's names etc. I am just wondering. I will look into the other question of birth certificate information for Budapest, but most of the records would probably be archived before certain years. I will get back to you though. Good luck

Hi Bill:
I was born in Rakospalota. I am not sure of the exact street address as those areas were torn down and replaced with tenement appartment buildings. My grandmother who died in 1989, lived just west of the tenement apartments on Oroszlany utca (which is also scheduled to be torn down)The street itself was very narrow.My mother moved to Szocs Aron Utca, and lived there until she died in 1991. Unfortunately, Rakospalota is a huge place so I probably do not know the persons whom you are referring to. I have heard of Kemeny Istvan utca.

Hi Judi:
The Castle District or Varnegyed is in the Buda part of Budapest. The castle is situated on Castle Hill. The original castle itself was destroyed by the Turks, and the rest during the war. There isn't much left of the original castle itself, and now it houses government offices etc. The district that area is in is called Nagyteteny or (XXII district)
I am not sure if the birth records are kept past last 100 years or not, but usually kept by local area churches in those districts, if they are older. The main record office is called 'Anyakonyvi hivatal' but I don't know the address for that off hand. I will try and find which diocese is located in that area. If they were born around that district, which was probably the outskirts of the city at that time, and they married in a Catholic church there (being both Catholic)those records are most likely in the church. The LDS church did microfilms of all the records kept by the various churches, and they are usually detailed. But if you are looking for a particular person, it is helpful to know the area, the dates etc. Also, the names could have been changed. I know they changed the street names after the communist regime left. My brother lived on Liptak Lajos utca, and that street name was changed to Szegfu utca.
Was your father born in Hungary? If his parents were there should be some sort of record of their names or birthdates. You can try searching for those names in the LDS files. I wish I had listened more closely to my great aunt's stories. She was a family historian of sorts (also a Catholic nun)living in Jaszbereny in the convent there. I do know my mother had a cousing who was a singer her name was Sarosi Kati, and I heard many funny stories about HER childhood etc.I also get frustrated since most of my immediate family on my mother's side have died, and no one to get the information I need to find relatives of a distant cousing who lived in Linz, Austria. I am making a scrapbook of all the family history that I DO have access to, including my birth certificate, my mothers's papers and that of my brother, along with photographs. Maybe that would help my children or their children in family history. On my father's side, the search is easier since I still have uncles and cousins living in Budapest.

Minera: Re: Varga family
Hi Judi:
Just checking back on the info about your grandparents. Your grandmother worked at the castle as head pastry chef. It is possible there was a restaurant of sorts there after the reconstruction. The castle was rebuilt by the Austrian monarchy, but was destroyed during the war. As you have the date of birth for your granfather, it is likely he is registered in Catholic church records as they keep those for hundreds of years. Unfortunately with Ellis Island records many immigrants could not speak English so names could have been written down incorrectly. Did you try looking for Warga, or even Josef?? In Hungary the names are last names first then given names, which would confuse some immigration officials. I have heard it happen a few times from others. Its worth a try. If they asked him for his name he would have said Varga Jozsef, NOT Josef Varga as we would assume.

Hi Judi:
Hope im not being annoying. I did a check on Ellis island records and came up with several Josef Varga 's who came at that year. Adding up the numbers he would have been 21 when he worked for the crown guard. Also the closest was a Josef Varga, married age 28. I did not see the original manifest itself, but if your father was 4 when your grand mother died and he left Hungary or was born there, he would have been older. There was no record of a Julia Horvat listed. Also the age 23 and 28 are similar enough to assume there could be an error in the writing or maybe it was not legible? Just doing my detective work LOL. Did he mention how old he was when he arrived in the US? Did your father come with him or was he born here? Did his wife also come with him or did she use a different name perhaps her maiden name? Just wondering, as some of those old records are not that accurate.

My great grandfather Antal Krecsmar came to the US in 1905 and according to Ellis Island the person he was joining was his brother in law Gusztav Varga in Columbus Ohio. I was checking out this site to see if anyone had posted regarding Gusztav Varga and saw your post. I saw on SSDI site a Joseph Varga that was born 3/13/1887 and died August of 1967 in Braddock PA. Could this be your grandfather? Do you have a copy of his death certificate? This will usually list his parents names. What about a copy of his death notice. Have you tried to get a copy of his marriage certificate to your grandmother? Do you have a copy of her death notice? Her death certificate? Did she die in Cleveland Ohio? If she did die in Cleveland Ohio I can see if I can get her death certificate and death notice for you if you do not live in Ohio. I could email you copies. The Ohio Historical Library has copies of death certificates from 1908 to 1944. According to OHS search there is a Julia Varga that died 10/08/1921. Let me know if you think that any of this helps you.

My grandfather, Joseph Vargo/Varga was born in Hungary on March 19, 1879 and died in November 15, 1967 in southern Ohio. I believe my grandmother, Julia Vargo died in 1923. My father was about 4 years old when she died.
About a week before my father died, we found my grandparents marriage certificate. They were married on Nov. 1, 1908 in southern Ohio. Her maiden name on the certificate was Szuras. I think her stepfather was a Nemeth. Her birth father died.
I do have my grandfather's SSN Death record. His mother's name was unknown, his father's name was listed as "Barney" Varga. My guess is the person taking the information did not understand my grandfather's accent and just wrote Barney.
I do not have copies of death certificates or death notices for either one of my grandparents. How do you get copies from the Ohio History Library?
My grandparents settled in the Athens, Ohio area, which is not far from Columbus. Maybe there is a connection? My grandfather and my father and sisters did live in Cleveland, Ohio area (Fairport Harbor) for a time. My Dad loved the lighthouse up there. I live closer to Dayton, Ohio. You did help giving me ideas to look for death certificates.

Laura,
Thanks for your reply. My grandfather was Josef Varga and my grandmother was Juliana Nemeth. She was born in Budapest in 1875. My grandmother's birth father's name I believe was Szuras. The Nemeth surname was her stepfather. Some in our family think it was the other way around, but who knows! She was the head pastry chef in the Palace in Budapest. We are not sure when she came to the U.S.
My grandfather had 7 brothers and 3 sisters and we think he was born in Budapest in 1879. We do not know the brother or sisters names. They had a vineyard, raised horses and bottled their own wine. He served in the Crown Guard in the Palace in Budapest. My grandfather came to the U.S. in 1902. He settled in Ohio and married my grandmother. They had 5 children, Julia, Betty, Rose, Goldy and Frank (my father) Vargo. Name was changed from Varga to Vargo in the U.S.
I would be glad to help you in any way. I have been searching since 1999 with no luck. Does any of the family histroy I gave sound familiar to you?

andre mommen: Re: Varga family
Dear,
This story sounds very strange. Serving in the horse guard means that the person had a "noble" background. And his wife worked in the pastry department (the kitchen)? Varga, a very common name, means "shoemaker". And Nemeth, also very common, means "German". It seems to me that both persons were of popular origins. Maybe that father Varga was a "horseman" responsible for breeding etc. People of the nobility usually did not emigrate to the US. Maybe that this Varga had adopted this Hungarian name in order to assimilate faster.

minera: Re: Varga family
Hello:
Why would serving in the horse guard be considered elite?
Are you suggesting they were simply simbolic? Such as the British have for their royalty? Many of those guards themselves are not of 'noble' birth but representatives of different parts of the Commonwealth, such as the Scots , the Irish the Welsh. They are distinguished by their uniforms and various tartans.
According to Judy her grandfather worked at the castle as a royal guard.
It is possible he did so at the time it was rebuilt by Marie Terese of the Hapsburgs.The castle itself was completely destroyed after the Turkish invasion and the ruins were leveled and she built a castle on the site. None of the Hapsburg royals ever actually LIVED at the castle, only their representative the viceroy. It is possible during this time her granfather lived or worked there. When the Hapsburg dynasty fell Admiral Horty lived there for a short time until he was removed in a coup by the Germans in 1944. During WWII the castle was completely devastated during the siege of Budapest. What we see today is a reconstruction done in the 50's and it now houses a museum of the arts and a library etc.
I am not sure what your reference to 'nobility' means. The royal guards were NOT nobility unless you are referring to the time of Queen Beatrice before the Turks invaded.
Judging from the timeline she suggest as to when her granfather came to the US, it would appear he worked there before the Hapsburgs were removed during the revolution against them by Hungarians. Both the Royal guards and the horse guards were simbolic. Also after the break with Austria all Hungarian noble titles given previously were revoked.With communism even land ownership became property of the state.
Yes Varga means shoemaker, and Nemet refers to perhaps an ancestor of German origin where the name originated. As is Komaromi (from Komarom)Szabo(tailor)Kovacs(smith)but no LESS a Hungarian name than Nemeth. There was no NEED to assimilate since both were Hungarians.

Hello Judi:
Once again back to your grandparents history. The time line of your grandfather working in the Crown Guard was probably close to the time of the fall of the Hapsburgs and the split from Austria and probably just before the castle itself was destroyed. Contrary to what the previous poster suggested, crown guards were not of noble birth. As horses for modes of transportation and show were more prevalent it is not surprising he raised horses. My own grandfather used the same means of transportation. Actually even in the 50's many people used horse drawn carts to take things to market. He had a small vineyard which was also common as many made their own wine, and palinka even my father's father although he purchased the grapes and plums and he lived in Budapest. He was born in 1895 so such means of transport were not uncommon.
