Good Afternoon, Listers, I'm looking for any information regarding the ancestors of Mary Remak, who was born in Hungary in1895 and arrived in New York in 1912. Her father was Imre or James Remak. Might anyone know when and where Imre was born? Might anyone know the name of Mary Remak's mother and siblings? Imre's mother and siblings? Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Lou Barsi

Good Afternoon, Listers, I would like to know if MARY REMAK, born in Hungary in 1895 who arrived at Ellis Island about 1912 was ever married and/or had children. Also, would anyone know who her parents were? Thank you. Lou Barsi

Dear List: Good News for those interested in a Hungarian passport. I applied for a hungarian passport in august, 2004 and finally received it in february this year. I was born in Brazil and my parents were hungarian citizens. They fled the country in 1948. It took such a long time apparently because I started out with only my mother´s birth certificate and my father´s high school diploma. On the other hand, my 3 siblings applied for their passports in abril this year and received them in september. Besides our passports, we have also received birth certificates registered in Budapest.

Joe, is the name of Nemeth a common one in Hungary? My husband's nagymama came to America before WW I and worked for a banker named John Nemeth and his family to get funds to bring her family to US. He was president of the Nemeth Bank in Manhattan in 1918. Does any of this ring a bell to you? Bette ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph M.

Marika and Lou, According to Ivan Nagy the Remekházy family owned properties in Gurahoncz (county Arad). Their original name was "Remold" that was changed to Remelházy (meaning: from Remek house) with the grant from the King of a Hungarian citizenship and the rank of Baron in 1821 and was given properties in Gurahoncz. Also were given the right to the prename of "gurahonczi" (meaning: "of Gurahoncz". The letter "i" at the end of a name usually means from or of. But then the nobles usually changed to "y" to distinguish it from the common peoples names. Joseph M.

I hope people on this list forgive me for saying the word "Rusyn" every time I write to the list, but to tell you the truth, that is what I know the most about. Lou -- the ending -ak is common for Rusyn surnames, see http://www.slovakia.org/society-rusyn.htm . A "clincher" for being Rusyn is that the family's religion was Greek Catholic, or Orthodox (Christian). To see the area where Rusyns mostly settled, there is an archived map here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060220030438/carpatho-rusyn.org/map.htm . I don't know why the carpatho-rusyn.org website has been down, but it is still available in the web.archive.org. If you click on that map you will see a bigger map. As you can see, Rusyns were in the NE part of historical Hungary, as well as areas that are now in Poland, etc. - Elaine On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 3:00 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:46:25 -0400 > From: "LOUIS M.

Hi William, the correct spelling of the town is Bükkzsérc(z), county Borsod, district Mezőkövesd. EI shows 37 persons arriving from there: http://stevemorse.org/goulnik/match1.php?time=0&mode=running&TOWN=bukkzserc&kind=close&last_kind=1&town_kind=1&fld=|name|yob|smanifest|town|yoa|annotations|age|passrec|image|tmanifest|&referrer=httpwww.jewishgen.orgdatabasesEIDBellis.html&dwpdone=1 Also Cserépfalu (same county and district) should be spelled this way.

Hi Lou, the name is rather unusual. As you can see only one in Budapest and three in county Zemplén showed up in 1891: http://www.radixindex.com/cgi-bin/ipvm.pl?surname=remak Joe Equinunk, PA - USA [email protected] LOUIS M.

My grandfather was born in Bukkszerc, Hungary in 1880 and moved to Csrepfalu . He was a stone mason and he moved to the United States in 1905. I have been to Hungary 5 times and have located most of my relatives. I am very interested if any of you out there have any relatives from Bukkszerc. Some of my family in Hungary wants to get in contact with them..

Good Evening, Listers. Does anyone know if there is/was a particular part of Hungary in which the REMAK surname was prevalent? And whether or not is was a common surname or was unusual? Thank you. Lou Barsi

I have a German line from Wurttemberg and they are Emig, Emmig, Emmerich.

Nowadays its called Kuklov and is in Slovakia. (Don't know what 'Pres' supposed to mean? Presently?) Seems Imrich was used by Czechs and Slovaks for the Hungarian Imre, or German Emmerich, which, I think, is also accepted in English (but better Emeric, Emery).

That may be why the marriage record from Cleveland in 1911 gave the name of the town only. That is where I got the name Kuklo Pres. Evelyn In a message dated 9/28/2008 10:07:28 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: With 'mobile' borders, Evelyn, that place was - at different times - in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and now Slovakia! :-) Since census requests specified 'present' country, 1900 and 1910 should show Hungary; 1920 and 1930 Censuses will show Czechoslovakia.
