I am trying to research my family in Hungary and would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction, offer suggestions or give me any kind of help. They were listed in the Canadian censuses as Greek Catholics. I am not very familiar with Hungary and know no Hungarian so am a bit at a loss as to where to start.
Here's the information I have:
Mihaly Geczi (sp?) - became Mike Gates in North America
born 17 November 1860 in Pálháza
married
Maria Anna Begala
born 26 July 1863 in Filkehaza
Their children born in Hungary were:
Mihaly born 17 Nov 1885 in Pálháza
Paul born 15 Jan 1891 in Pálháza
They came to the US and had three more children:
John born 26 Dec 1897 in Greenboy, West Virginia
Joseph born 28 Apr 1901 in Duaryhill, West Virginia
Mary Magdeline born 19 July 1902 in Sun, West Virginia
In 1909 the family moved to Alberta, Canada.
Thanks very much!
