LOL I have to laugh, I'm sorry. Hungarian and Summit county is synonymous. We get joked about that West Virginians ran out of gas in Akron when migrating.... But the "Hunky's" in Summit county ain't nothing. I'm not being mean. I live here, I am not one but belong to the Hungarian Club in Barberton. The Hungarians, Serbian, etc run amuck in Barberton. One of our "Famous Barberton Chicken" kings is Serbian. They were all opened up by Serbs/Hungarians. Its like all the Italians went to North Hill area in Akron. They all came here during the Rubber Industry era. Have you tried Rootsweb.com SSDI. If you find him or some family names.... you can apply for the social security application. Have you tried EllisIsland.org ? You can search for when they came in and sometimes the manifest shows where they were going - who they were going to stay with etc. There is a guy who belongs to the hunky club actually I can't remember his exact last name but we all call him LIP. His last name is something similar. He is young guy though in his early 40's.

We drive back every year to Akron from California, and ALWAYS stop at Al's Meats in Barberton on "Tusk" (Tuscarawas) for the excellent hot Hungarian sausage. I have one pack squirreled away in the freezer; it's gotta last until October!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! I love just walking by that place. If you didn't stop last year you'll have to stop this year early in the after noon at their little restaurant they started..... gee hope its still running..... they were only serving lunch...... and get their cabbage rolls and paprikash. MMMMMM Goosetown?????? LOL never heard that before. I work downtown Akron too near the University and lived in Summit co. my entire life. That's a new one on me. Good luck in your search. I printed your inquiry out. I will put it in my car and try to ask Dale Milich (Milich's Village Inn) our Chicken King.... if he recognizes any of this information. Dale just turned 75 I think. There ain't a hunky he don't know. LOL I'll do my best!
