Dear List, I am so thankful for all of the good information that was sent to me on my John HEGEDISH. This is the new information that I have gotten from your leads: *B. 30-6-1869 in Hungary/Austria *M. abt. 1896 *d. 8-3-1922, Cleveland *Immigrated in 1886 (too soon for the Ellis Island records! :( ) *Wife immigrated in 1896 *In 1900 they had one child living, b. 1898. Don't know if the other was before or after her. *Naturalized on 21-9-1896 Since the immigration date is too soon for the Ellis Island records, I cannot search to see if he immigrated with other family members or not. He was 17 years of age when he came to the USA. Would the next step be to order the naturalization records? Would his petition be at the same location and what kind of information is on both of those records? I really want to know where in Hungary/Austria (or Slovakia, as they claim) he came from and if he came alone. Searching for any HEGEDUS in Hungary would be a nightmare without knowing the proximity. Thanks! Angela Grand Rapids, Mi.

Archives (very inexpensive) and his DC from the Ohio Historical Society ($7.00 I believe). The naturalization records will more likely provide the village he came from, but you may strike out on both. -- Dennis M. Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************
