I have started a Liptay (Lipte, Liptai, Liptaj) surname website at rootsweb and I'm collecting Ellis Island info and other immigration info on these names hopefully I will find the family of John Smith aka Liptay, and his hungarian ancestors. Thanks for the tip on Barberton being an Hungarian stronghold. I wondered how an immigrant could become a Representative, and I guess he really was representative of the county he lived in. I also sent for information to the Ohio Historical Society. They have records on all government officials, if I get anything good I'll pass it on to the list. I wonder if there was a Socialist Party in Summit Co,Ohio in the early 1900s? I saw a John Smith running on the Socialist ticket in 1910 or 1920, too young to be the John Smith I'm looking for but maybe his father?? I'm a farmer in Oregon and I rarely go anywhere but the Hungarian Hot Dogs in Toledo do sound good.

Well out of curiosity I had to look this information up. There were over 3000 collective "hunkys" if you will. Serbians, Czechs, Slavic, Yugoslavian, Slovene, Slovak, Hungarian etc. First ancestries reported: German: 4934 United States or American: 2840 Other groups: 2584 Irish: 2142 English: 1315 Italian: 1257 Hungarian: 878 Slovak: 713 Polish: 561 French (except Basque): 410 Dutch: 366 Slovene: 351 Scottish: 342 Serbian: 286 Scotch-Irish: 244 Arab:: 143 Lebanese: 143 European: 106 Welsh: 101 Greek: 93 Croatian: 81 Subsaharan African:: 81 African: 81 Norwegian: 80 Swedish: 79 Yugoslavian: 71 Czechoslovakian: 69 Romanian: 65 Slavic: 59 I find it odd that the Germans and Irish were huge in Barberton. I mean we have the Hungarian Club, the Slovene Hall, the Sokols Club, the Jenoda Club, I'm sure there are more that I can't think of or are now defunct. However there is the Leidertaufal (sp).... Then you have Belgrades Chicken (famous for their paprikash) Milich's Villiage Inn, Hopocan Gardens and the now gone Terrace Gardens all opened by Hunky's in the old days. Millich's Village Inn is owned by Dale Millich whose father started the business along with all the other Hunky's back then. Dale happens to be Serbian. I don't know of any Irish establishments in Barberton. And I'm Irish..... imagine that. In looking at another site which appears to have been done in 2002 (indicated by population as of) the Germans have the strong hold at 7,000. Irish at 3000 and Italian at 2000. The Hungarians come in at 1300 but if you consider collectively the other "hunky" countries of Serbia, Czech, Slovic, etc. the reach 3500. I did notice something interesting from this site was there were over 3000 homes built in Barberton between 1950/60 and over 2000 in the preceding 10 years. Right after the war the factories were booming. There are rows and rows of homes in Barberton still standing all along the rail roads, obvious communities at one time. I heard a lot of them especially I think those down on 2nd street (when you get out of the downtown portion) were built for the factory workers. It is very run down area now but I'm sure it was booming at one time. If you ever get a chance when you come to town, go to the Barberton Library. They have tons of stuff on the history of Barberton and it's people.
