Mandy; I would guess that you must be decended from the Bundy's who settled in Great Falls Montana. Over the past years I have been contacted by several other familyt history workers who were interested in this famiy. Apparently the first Bundys who came to the Banat settled in Hatzfeld but then moved to St Hubert and Heufeld. From these villages decendents moved to the daugther villages along the lower Bega and Theiss, among these Klek. According to the Hatzfeld family book by Henz the several Bundi families who settled in Hatzfeld came from the district around Trier on the French-German border. There is no indication in WK that they were registered in Wien so we don't know the exact time of migration but the first Bundi kids born in Hatzfeld was 1768. These several Bundi families must have picked up and moved to St Hubert and Heufeld since there are no later Bundi's in Hatzfeld after ca 1785. So the short answer to your question is that apparently Bundy is a German/French name. Steyer is certainly a German derived surname. But who knows if the dark complection is due to some guy in one of the armies who came through the Trier region at one time or another----perhaps in the Thirty Years War. Your guys came to Great Falls because of employment oppertunities. There were a couple of other Banater families from Klek who settled in Great Fall.

I really appreciate all of your data that you have posted about Hungarian movement to the US. I am seeking information about the Bundy's. I know they resided in Klek, Hungary. I am the great, great, great grandaughter of Ketl-Katharina Steyer Bundy (born 1855) and Johann Bundy (born 1851). My great great grandmother is Marian Bundy (born 1888), also born in Hungary, her sister was Ammei Bundy (born 1887). I am wondering about the German last name of Bundy. We are dark people, and look very unlike German's, so why is the last name of both Bundy and Steyer of German origin? Also, when Exactly did my family depart from Hungary, and would you possibly know why? Mandy L. Wilson 117 Boise Avenue Kalispell, MT, 59901 1.(406).471.6117
