I thought Karoly was the equivalent of Charles. I found on the web tonight that Kalman was the equivalent of Charles. Are they both? My gggrandpa's name was Ferenczi Karoly, but he went by Charles Ferency. I'm trying to find him on the Ellis Island ship manifest. I thought I had found him, but now I'm not so sure. I have tried searching EI reversing the names and inputting them correctly. The ages don't match up very well. I think a ten year age difference is a bit much, but I could be wrong. I have tried several different spellings, but I'm not thrilled with the results. His headstone says he was born in 1877, and two different census records give his imm. date as 1.) 1908 2.) 189? . I'm sure he was single when he arrived in the US. and the first place he was found on the 1920 census was NY. He married my gggrandmother there. I did find a Charles Ferency in Cuyahoga, Oh. in 1910, but I'm not sure it's him. Is there another name he may have used instead of Karoly? He had a brother who stayed in Hungary. I was told his name was Julius, but I'm not sure that's a Hungarian name. It may be the English version. Does anyone know the Hungarian equivalent of Julius? I'm so lost in finding his EI manifest!
