Hello Listers. I'm trying to find out where in Ohio my Slovak grandfather would have gone when he immigrated from Hungary? I can't seem to make the town name. Was there an area where the Slavs went in Ohio that was more popular than others? Thanks for any help. Darlene BUGAN SMEHIL(various spellings) HOLES^ ANDRSIK

I don't think you gave enough information for us to help you. Are you looking for Bugan? What was his given name? When did he immigrate? Through Ellis Island? The only Bugans I saw in the EI records that were going to Ohio were Janos (1903) and Martin (1913), going to Youngstown, and Martin (1905) and Sandor (1906), going to Struthers, which is basically a suburb of Youngstown.

If you would just share with the list the respective manifest we might be able to come up with the right place. Joe Equinunk, PA - USA jjarfas@ezaccess.net
