Carol, Your first message asked help about your father if I remember right. You mentioned he died in the 1980"s in California because that is what your mom told you. I would like you to give these possibilities some thought, perhaps he changed his name to King, that is what Kiraly translates to. Also, he might have had another family somewhere, and not necessarily in California. Don't give up and don't take everything you have been told as gospel.

Does anyone on the list have any Hungarian relatives with the last name Toman or Tomas that lived in Ohio? I'm looking for this surname in the 1910 time frame. Could be Dayton, Cleveland, or any highly populated Hungarian community in Ohio. If so, please email me at asprentz@bex.net Do you know who killed my father? John B. SPRENTZ murdered 17 May 1983, ECORSE MI See my website for further details. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/2651/Unsolvedmurder.html If you are a homicide victim survivor, please visit my message board for support. http://support4victims.proboards30.com/
