Her name was Magdalena and she was born May 21, 1902 in Miskolc. Her father was Geza NAGY who was born January 1870 in Onod, Hungary and died in 1927 in Miskolc, Hungary. Geza NAGY's father was Aloysius NAGY born in 1840; he married Maria GHIKA who was born in 1847. Maria is descended from the GHIKA family that ruled Wallachia and Moldavia during the 18th and 19th centuries. I have the GHIKA family back into the 16th century; there is an excellent GHIKA website at http://www.ghica.org. I do not have the NAGY family any farther back than Aloysius.

I sent your email to my cousin in Hungary. His surname is Nagy and his wife is a Toth. We also have others in our line by the name of Toth. They all live/lived in Veszprem Megye and I do not know where Miskolc is located. Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net
