The one thing that was told to me is that people lived in long buildings that were shared with other families. The other question is looking at maps at that period was it Austro-Hungary Hungary, Austria ? I am also wondering if you loked into Slovakia and Germany ? Have you tried the name KOLOS-SA. Have you tried different parts of Old Hungary such as Transylvania-Erdely Karpat ALJA/now Ukran/-Felvidel now Slovakia/-Then from the northin the CENTRE OF HUNGARY all the way to CHANAD, and from there to the south. DELVIEK,/now Yugoslavia. If I find anything I will let you no. Thanks, Kathleen Parr
