Re: Seeking info on Jones (Ionescu) surname

You're welcome.
Have no experience in the research you mentioned. Did you look in Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Canada's manifest and www.castlegarden.org Without a location or at least an original spelling of a surname the research is like looking for a needle in a haystack. :(

Re: Seeking info on Jones (Ionescu) surname

hjones55313 — 2009-10-24 15:49:10Z

Thank you for the information. I have a 1910 Census record for Steve Jones widower born in Rom-Austria. So I have the proof that they originated there. However, that does not help me with an original name. What I'm looking for is ship records. Steve claimed on the 1910 census to have immigrated in 1885.

A lot of times, census recorders would avoid the gypsy camps or not be let in, so there are gaps in records. Also, many marriages and births were private and performed in the camp, so there are not many marriage/birth records, either. "Gypsies" did not like Gadja or non-gysies, and vice-versa. Avoidance was the norm.

Re: Seeking info on Jones (Ionescu) surname

ZBeca — 2009-10-24 15:36:03Z

Someplace in the US documents should be a place of birth in old Austria/Romania.
JOVANOVICH and JONESEVICH are Americanized version and for sure would not be found in present Romania.
IONESCU does seem Romanian. Check www.whitepages.ro

Seeking info on Jones surname

hjones55313 — 2009-10-17 16:24:25Z

I have 8 generations of my husband's family starting with the children most recently born back to Steve Jones b.abt1850 in Austria/Romania. They are Ludar and am interested in finding out more about the Jones name. I'm sure it wasn't that in the "old country". One story is that the name was "Jovanovich" but I would think that would have been shortened to Jovan. Another story is the name was Jonesevich, but from what I've found, I don't think there was a "J" in the languages of Romania. So, I've concluded that the name was probably some variation of "Ionesvich" or "Ionescu".

Any ideas??

SEEKING INFO ON KARL MUNZ-MINTZ, MICHAEL MUENZ, JOHANN P. MUNZ

docnaden — 2009-10-16 05:03:40Z

HELLO;
My name is GARY NADEN and I am involved in GENEALOGY research on my Mother’s family. They came to America in the late 1880's and lived in North Dakota.
My Mothers Maiden Name was IRENE AUGUSTA MINTZ and her father was WILLIAM –(Bill)-FREDERICK MINTZ .
In my research of my Mother’s MATERNAL family I found my Mom’s old photo album and inside the back cover it stated that my Grandmother ADDIE HARRIET TURNER-MINTZ was born in 1900 in COGSWELL, (HARLEM TOWNSHIP) SARGENT COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA.
I located the 1910 N.D. US Census and while skimming the records, I came across a listing for a Mr. J0HN UCHNER and his wife JOHANNA MINTZ-UCHNER.
The interesting part was that it not only listed them and their children living with them, but it also listed the Mother-In-Law JOHANNA MINTZ along with her two son’s ARNDT MINTZ and the youngest son WILLIAM F. MINTZ (my Grandfather) born in MAY,1900...
I also found in my Mother’s Photo album a photo of WILLIAM F. MINTZ taken in 1911 with the caption “ DADDY WITH HIS FIRST PAIR OF LONG PANTS, 11 YEARS OLD”!!
I know that FERDINAND MINTZ DIED JANUARY 29th,1910 just before the JULY U.S. Census was taken and I’m assuming that since her husband was dead and she was in mourning that JOHANNA MINTZ took her two sons to COGSWELL, SARGENT COUNTY (about 50 miles away) to live with her Daughter and Son in Law! JOHANNA MINTZ later re-married in March 1911 to JOHANN GEBHARDT.
I am also assuming (since this was a very small community) that my Grandmother ADDIE TURNER (who was 10)
and my Grandfather WILLIAM F. MINTZ, (who was also 10) were in the same class in school and that is where they met and connected!!
I have located my Mother's younger Sister's Family (DONNA MAE MINTZ-McMICHAEL Died in 1955)
but I still have not found my Mother's Middle Sister DOROTHY D. MINTZ-LENO-??.
I have found Ferdinand Mintz's Father (Karl (Munz) Mintz and his Mother ELIZABETH (EBERT)-EBERHARDT, both from Beresina, Bessarabia, South Russia.
With help from a wonderful lady in Germany, I have been able to locate KARL MUNZ-MINTZ's Father, MICHAEL MUENZ and Karl's Grandfather JOHANN P. MUNZ who went from Germany to Poland and then to Moldova/Romania/Ukraine/Russia!!
I am trying to go even further back in GERMANY (if possible) past JOHANN MUNZ b:29/04/1779 and his wife EUPHROSINA LANG B:1783!!
IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ON THE MINTZ, MUNZ, MUENZ family TREE, Please contact me at ..

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME..... GARY (DOC) NADEN

Re: shilmover

asinnj1 — 2009-07-29 15:05:56Z

My grandfather was Julius Shulman who came over from Russia in the early 20th century. He later sent for my father, Samuel Shulman who came with his mother Anna (maiden name Furster), brother Irving and sister Helen in 1921 through Ellis Island. I think Aunt Helen married David Topf. They all settled in northern NJ. I believe we're family Aileen!

Socaciu or Socaci or Szakacs

theodore784 — 2009-08-06 15:44:18Z

My grandfather likely came from Kis-Kukullosard,now Soard, sometime in 1911-to 1915. His name was Jon or Janos.His surmame could have one of the above.He was born on October 25th, 1896(?) He had cousins that also left(Jon Ragula from Soard and Jon Tescula from Hejjasfalva now Vanatori). His name in America was John Sockaci. The pronuciation in America is "sock-ah-see". What are the pronuciations of the above names? What do they mean? Where would the records for Soard be kept? He was Orthodox. What about Austro-Hungarian passports or visas-are copies available? any response would be appreciated. Thanks

Janos Socaciu or Socaci

theodore784 — 2009-07-23 15:42:55Z

We are trying to obtan information on my grandfather. His name in america was John Sockaci(pronounced Sock-ah- sea here in America). We believe his name in Transylvania was Janos Socaciu or Socaci. He said the name in Transylvania was pronounced as So-kauch. Would that be true ? Since Transylvania was under Hungarian control, I was told that his name on the visa may a Hungarian version of So-kauch and be spelled as Szakacs. Would that be possible? He stated that he sailed from Hamburg but we do not know the port of entry. He supposedly was born in 1896 and arrived in 1913. We have searched the Ellis Island records for the above variations of his name but have not found anyone arriving at EI in 1913 from Romania or Hungary that is close to his age at that time. Any response would be appreciated.We are sending for his WWI military records, naturalization paper, and the 1930 census . Any advice or answers to the name question would be appreciated. He stated that his village was called Sard or Svard or Sward. We have not been able to locate it either. Thank you.

My grandfather's family came from the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire. His American name was Sacas, but I found an old letter written to his mother, Sacasius. The family is Romanian, and his name was pronounced SahKASH, probably written as Szakacs. I found traces of records in the Immigrations and Passenger listings. Naturalization records were zip for me and I found very little in the passport apps. I spent hours, and I do mean hours, going over the pax listings, but it was time well worth spent. Where did your family end up? Mine was in East Chicago and in Columbus, OH.
