After 6 years of research over multitudes and multitudes of websites, census's, stats, stats, and more stats, I have just about given up trying to find out when my grandfather died and where he is buried. I have used Ancestry to distraction, FHC, Ship lists, Immigration stats, and so many more lists, and guides that I am buggy in the head just thinking of them all. I realize all of you are just as busy; this will be my last cry for help; if I don't find a DC and a cemetery this year, I will just call it a draw and give up. I am very limited in that I do not know his parents names, and I am the last living family member. If someone should stumble up any information that I don't already know about, please let me know....this one is a very, very deep rabbit hole. His name is Franz (Frank) Walla (1888-195?) Birthplace: Laksarnafalu, Hungary Immigration: May 10, 1910 on SS Blucher Siblings: Ferdinand & John Parents: Unknown Occupation: Ship fitter - Raritan Ship Yards, Perth Amboy, NJ Sole molder - Endicott-Johnson Shoe Factory, Broome, NY Military: WWI - US Army Le Somme, France Spouse: Filomena M. Kupecz (1888-1939) Marriage date: Unknown Children: 1 Son, Walter Francis Walla, born 1/19/1929; Binghamton, NY died 9/8/1987; Warren, NJ Last known address: 316 E. 70th St. Brooklyn, NY Social Security #: Unknown, no records found in SS Death Records Language spoken: Slovak Census: 1920 and 1930, but not before. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

It probably has been annexed by a nearby town or is now in one of the new countries.
