Dear Dr. Zsudel, Thank you very much for the translation, what a shame it is misspelled on their gravestones. In order for me to get the photo's I had to post a on-line memorial at www.findagrave.com for my loved ones, once your loved ones are posted there, you can request photo's, there are many volunteers all over the US and Internationally. The volunteer uploads the photo to your memorial, at least that is how I have found it to be. You would have to call the cemetery office to find the location, section and plot #, there phone number at Calvary is: 216-641-7575, they will assist you with 4 names at no charge, I found the gentleman there to be extremely friendly and helpful. Findagrave.com is a huge community of genealogist's, cemetery walkers, and some of the friendliest people I have come across. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSmid=46993400&GRid=2576072 2& Here is Anna Boros memorial page, if you look at who posted the picture, TJ, that was the person who took the photo and the link will bring you to her/his page. When I posted my memorial, there were 111 people in the area that volunteered to take photos at the cemeteries I listed, Calvary and Highland Park. Good luck and thank you again for the translation, Best Regards, Cammie Nussbaum Southern California -----Original Message----- From: dr.

I tried to post this the other day but noticed the text of my message was not included, so I will try this again. A very kind person at findagrave took a few volunteer photo's for me of my ancestor's Joseph and Anna BOROS at Calvary Cemetery, Cleveland. At the bottom of the headstone it reads; NYGODYANAK BEKEBEN I have looked at all the translation sites on line and they come up with nothing found. I am guessing it might be something along the lines of Rest in Peace... I am hoping someone might be able to help me. Thanks so much Cammie Nussbaum

One of the articles you sent as a download features one of them. Next time I am visiting the cemetery, I'll put this 1928 obit into a plastic sleeve and tape it to the Maceyak tombstone. I know the cemetery probably would frown upon this, but I haven't forgotten visiting the flat tombstone of Marc Chagall, the artist, in St. Paul de Vince, France. Besides the pebbles placed on it (a Jewish custom), there was a post card written by a Chagall family member. This gave it perpetuity. Thanks once more.

The Jefferson City Post-Tribune 12-22-1959 Eugene R. SZIGETY, Old St. Louis Rd., died Monday at the University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia after an illness of several months. He was employed at the State Prison as storekeeper. Mr. SZIGETY, his wife and small children came to Jefferson City to make their home 11 years ago from Austria where they were refugees. They fled Hungary when the Russians invaded their homeland during WWII. The couple had been married only a short time when they were forced to retreat from Hungary along with thousands of other refugees. Mrs. SZIGETY had been employed by the old Hungarian government in the Intelligence Dept. The family was sponsored by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. J. A. VOGELWELD, rector of St. Peter's Cathedral. He was born in Hungary June 17, 1910, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond SZIGETY. He married Miss Helen SOMOGYVAN, May 22, 1944.

The Daily Courier Connellsville, Pa. 3-3-1910 Slavs Of Country Raise Objection Start Movement To Secure Registration In Census of Birthplace Are Not All Hungarians The Slavs of the country, nearly a million strong, are displeased because no arrangements have been made to count them in the census. P. V. ROVNIANEK, President of the Slovak League yesterday called a meeting to be held next Monday in Pittsburg, at which the Slovak, Croatian, Wend? and Serbian nationalities will be represented and at which arrangements will probably be made to be enumerated according to their proper national designation instead of as "Hungarians", which is what the census office proposes to do with them. It is likely also that a committee will be appointed to go to Washington to confer with President Taft and see if something can be done. The blanks of the census office have already been printed and the demand of the Slavs for enumeration has been passed upon and rejected by Census Director E. Dana DURAND. Mr. ROVNIANEK yesterday received a letter from Sen. Geo. T. OLIVER enclosing a letter from Mr. DURAND in which the reasons why the Slavs could not be counted were stated at length. Mr. OLIVER and Mr. DURAND thought that nothing could be done. The Slavs, however, think differently. According to the law, as stated by Dir. Durand, the census enumerations are required to record the place of birth of each person, but not his "nationality". There are some 12 different nationalities of persons living in Hungary, and representatives of each of these living in this country will appear on the census record as "born in Hungary." The Slovaks alone number 800,000. Unless a change can be secured they will be counted by careless statisticians who may hereafter consult the census records as "Hungarians." It appears to the Slavs that the Magyar race will thus get credit with being represented in this country by three or four times the actual Magyar population.

The Hungarians 1929 Part 2 You should not be surprised if you would learn in the near future that in Hungary had been found and developed a certain metallic alloy, from which a metal can be made, which will be lighter than water and stronger and harder than steel. This will be a great agency to revolutionize certain industries and enhance human progress. It may also make war a very dangerous business. In the U.S. the Hungarians have contributed and are contributing their share to the up building of this country. There are undisputed evidences to the effect that brave Hungarians were fighting alongside of George Washington for the independence of this country. In the American Civil War quite a number of brave Hungarian generals, officers and private soldiers were fighting to preserve the Union. Who has not read of "Col. Charles ZAGONY'S death ride," which preceded his great vitory at Springfield? Then, Col. John A. FIALA, Captain and Provost Marshal Roland T. ROMBAUER, Gen. Alexander ASBOTH, Major General Julius H. STAHEL, Col. Philip FIGEIMESSY - I have no space to name them all. A Hungarian boy fired the first canon shot of the American Army in the World War. We find the Hungarian in the laboratory, inventing and working out the process of steel refining. We find him in the labs of Thomas Edison and of Henry Ford. Wherever you go, you find the Hungarians doing a generous share in the upbuilding of this country. In the field of the education, religion and humanitarian work the Hungarians are doing their share. There are in this country 56 Hungarian Roman Catholic, 14 Greek Catholic and 166 Protestant churches, and about one thousand sick and death benefit and cultural organizations. The Reformed (Calvinist) organizations maintain an orphan and old peoples home at Ligonier, Pa. In Cleveland, there are three Hungarian Roman Catholic, two Greek Catholic, and seven Protestant churches and 102 humanitarian and cultural organizations, two symphonic orchestras. After the World War, into which Hungary was ????? against her will, the one-thousand-year-old territory of Hungary was mutilated. More than two-thirds of her territory and more than one-half of her population were taken from her. The makers of the Paris "peace" repaid Hungary in a most cruel way for all that the Hungarians had done for Western Christianity and civilization. Hungary is crippled and bleeding. The unprecedented wrong committed against Hungary is still waiting to be righted. In this connection it will be well for the reader to remember that the geographical location of Hungary today is perhaps more important than it has ever been, especially from an American standpoint. Within the near future great and vital American interests will be determined in and around Hungary. Your church bells toll today, at noon, ring out the message that five hundred years ago the Hungarians saved Christianity and Christian civilization. Tomorrow your church bells toll out to you the message that the Hungarians are fighting, bleeding and dying to determine vital American interests. May I not therefore ???????, if you please shout - with you Eljen a Magrai? Feltamads Long live the Resurrection of Hungary.

The Daily Courier Connellsville, Pa. Mar. 27, 1929 By Louis R. BIRINYI, Author of "The Tragedy of Hungary," Justice for Hungary, " etc. There are about one and one half million Hungarians living in the U.S. Of these about eighty thousand are living in Cleveland, Ohio. They are a sturdy, industrious, thrifty, religious and cultured race. Their Motherland, Hungary, is situated in the southeastern part of Europe and she is so located geographically as to be a gateway between the East and the West. Western Christianity and civilization owe to the Hungarians, more than to any other people, a debt of gratitude for having prevented the Mongols and the Turks from Mongolising and Mohamedizing the west. Do you know why the bells in the towers of Christian churches throughout Christiandom are being tolled at the hour of noon every day? On July 21, 1468?, at the noon hour, the Hungarians, led by John HUNYADI of Transylvania, delivered the final and decisive blow to the Turks and settled once and for all time to come the freedom of Western Europe from any further Turkish invasion. The tolling of the noon bells is reminding Christiandom of the fact that about 500 years ago, at the hour of noon, western Christianity and Christian civilization were saved by the Hungarian people. Originally Hungary was an independent constitutional kingdom. The constant struggle, however, with the Mongols and the Turks, weakened the Hungarians and they fell under the control of the Austrian HAPSBURGS. The rule of the HAPSBURG dynasty over the Hungarians was outrageous and consequently during the last five hundred years of HAPSBURG rule, the Hungarians struggled to regain their independence from the HAPSBURGS. In a supreme struggle in 1848-184?, led by Louis KOSSUTH, the Hungarians succeded in defeating and dethroning the HAPSBURGS, but the Russian Czar sent a powerful army into Hungary, disarmed the Hungarians and delivered Hungary back to the HAPSBURGS, the Hungarians again dethroned the Hapsburgs. Politically the Hungarians were always and are today ardent advocates of democracy, political and relegious freedom and liberty. In continental Europe the Hungarians were the first people to have written a constitution (1229?), the English Magna Churia preceded only by seven years. It was in Hungary that the very first law was enacted, which secured freedom of religion and liberty of conscience to all inhabitants of Hungary. In art, science, education, culture, literature and religion, the Hungarians have contributed their full share to the world. They have their Michael MUNKACSY whose paintings are among the most widely discussed creations of the real art in the world. Farkas BOLYAI and his son John, the world famous pioneers in mathematics, who worked out the "science of absolute space." Baron Roland EOTYES? EOTVOS? whose investigation respecting gravitation and capillary attraction are of great value to science today, his instrument to weigh the earth is now used by American governmental scientific agencies. They have Dr. Phillipps SEMMELWEIS, who after years of devoted study, had succeeded to reduce death to 1.27 due to puerperal fever, frequently attending childbirth. Mothers throuhout the world owe a great debt of gratitude to this great Hungarian obstetrician. Then they have the world famous Hungarian pianist and composer, Ferencz LISZT, Alexander PETOFY, the great Hungarian lyric poet, whose poems are translated into many, many languages. A Hindu professor had learned the Hungarian language merely for the purpose of enabling himself to read PETOFY'S poems in the original language. Match was invented in Hungary. When you light your pipe, cigar, cigarette, or even the gas jet, you might remember that a Hungarian is responsible for the existence of this useful article and that it was a Hungarian who eliminated sulphur from the match and made it even a more convenient article. The first subway in the world was built in Budapest. The quality of Hungarian art is indicated by the fact that recently authorities of Detroit, Michigan, have requested Hungarian artists centers to send samples of Hungarian art to be studied by students of art in Detroit.

Thanks Janet, Huntsdale, Cumberland County, PA is closer to Gallitzin, Cambria County, PA where they did live in 1900. On Andrew Bolha's second trip (under name Andras Bollia in 1909) he claimed to have lived in Windber, PA between 1896-1906. Found him with family in 1920 and 1930 census in Portage, PA, but no World War II draft card. He may have died in a coal mine accident before the WWII registration. Thank you.
