Hi Frey can also be spelled Frei. On the Ellis Island site there is an Adam Frei who arrived Jan. 6, 1906, age 23 yrs., showing him as married arrived on the Carpathia. Here's the link to the website. https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/ Have a good day.

My father was born in Hungary to Donauschwaben parents. My grandfather Frey, from Szabadi, my grandmother Sprenger, from Nagyhajm?s. When my father was only 3 years old, his father was forced to Hungarianize his name to Szabados. His whole family was expelled to Germany (except for him) and his wife's family was stripped of all their wealth, being labeled as 'kulaks' by the communist state. My grandfather was again offered to leave Hungary in 1956 but he refused to. In 1986 again, my parents were offered a possibility to move to Germany but they did not want to be cut off from everybody they knew - not knowing that the iron curtain would come down only a few years later. Then Hungary joined the EU and the Wanderlust and the search for opportunities took me, the grandson of Donauschwaben grandparents, to Paris... It was here that, after the recent death of my father, I decided to reclaim the original name of the family and took the name 'Frey' back. (Our German name had been kept as a secret even in the 80's, during socialist times.) Having reclaimed my family's original name, I have also started to discover my paternal ancestry line, which, as I have found, goes back to 1518, to Darmstadt. As part of my research, I am looking for information on my great-grandfather, Adam Frey from Szabadi, Somogy, Hungary. He lived his whole life in Hungary and died somewhere on the train towards Germany, when the Germans of his village were expelled in 1948, according to official documents. * First of all, I wonder if anyone knows how one can find (if there is any trace, that is) the place where he might have been buried. According to the documents available to me, his train went to Pirna. However, the rest of his family (his children) then ended up in West Germany, in the American Zone. * Secondly, there are family stories about this same Adam Frey, namely that he had gone to America on a boat (the Carpathia was specifically mentioned), possibly even several times. Eventually, he came back to Hungary, so he never actually settled in the US. I wonder if anyone has access to records to see when he might have gone to the US and on what boats he might have travelled. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you very much in advance, Tam?s Frey
