Hi Elaine, even though I don't have access to my genealogy research library (because I'm in Hungary right now), I would guess you are looking for Vadasd (VÄdaÅ), which is in Romaina today. See what you can dig up in-between, and once I'm back in PA. (in a week), I can give you a [better] hand.

I acquired his Death Certificate and his name is spelled RuscHak. I then found his info on an Ellis Island Manifest list and his name is spelled Ruscsak. I found that the place he arrived from was either spelled VADAsd or Vadaso. He came to America in in 1909. I tried to locate this town on a map of Hungary with no luck. Can anyone out there help my on my quest? Elaine References 1. mailto:hungary@rootsweb.com
