I want to tell the list that I have had great success in finding my Bozoki family. Actually they found me after a couple of years of putting queries on the Hungary message boards as well as the Romanian ones. The area of Hungary where they lived in now in Romania. (Transylvania actually) Remember Hungary got divided up several times. I am in constant contact with Maria Bozoki Urdea, who works as a Nurse in a Children's Hospital in Oradea, Bihar Co.,Romania(Nagyvarad in Hungarian). Maria said that among the Hungarians, they always use the Hungary name for the villages. Her father Laszlo Bozoki, Jr. had been the Mayor of Koros-Tarkany (Tarcaia in Romanian). His widow, Esxter or Esther is still alive at 72 and is thrilled that we have all made contact. Also I am in contact with AnnaMaria Bozoki Trippon, who also has a daughter, AnnaMaria. So I am now in the process of trying to put the name to the faces and because they have already sent many pictures to me. (The naming is as frustrating as the Germans). They even sent pictures of our family when the boys were little that were sent to them by my mother-in-law. It has truly been amazing. Exactly like our experience with the Topp family in Estonia a couple of years ago. I cannot impress you all enough about the importance of using QUERIES in our research. I teach that in all my classes and have had so much luck in using them. On the Hungarian Bozoki family, I have put numerous queries on all the message boards and lists that I could find. It has taken several years on this family BUT the important thing is it has been successful! Just had to tell you all about my happy week.
