Hello all,

I'm looking for information on Janos Derecskei and Julianna Balazs Derecskei from Hegykozszentimre, Hungary.

I am their great grandson, and have no connections in Hungary or Romania, and cannot speak or read either.

Janos Derecskei was from Hegykozszentimre. He emigrated to the United States in 1906 and lived in Cleveland. He worked for 4 years before returning to Hungary to marry Julia. They emigrated together to Cleveland in 1910.

Julia's name was written as Julianna. She was born in February of 1892. The last name was spelled Derecskei, although they would go by Derecskey in the US.

I believe Janos Derecskei's father was also Janos Derecskei, in Hegykozszentimre.

Does anybody have any information on these surnames in or around Hegykozszentimre (modern day Sintimreu/Santimreu, Romania)? Does anybody have any information on the history of Hegykozszentimre? Can anyone look up any records (marriage, birth, death) for these surnames in this location, if they are available?

I'd gladly search these records if I could read either language and could find them.

Thank you very much.
