Hi,
I am looking for any information on my father's family. The only thing I know about my dad was he came here from Hungary by boat in the early 1900's and they changed his name from csontos to chontosh. Please forward any info you have.

Thanks,\N

Csontos

Hi

I am also looking for my grandmother's relatives. As far as I know she came from Hungary in the 1890's. She was married to a George Barany. I don't know where they lived in Hungary, possibly Budapest. So far I have not had any luck in finding anything on the web about the Csontos, other than there are a lot of them listed in phone directories.

My greatgrandmother a Csontos,married to a charles Lazar. She came from Debrecen,Hungary somewhere in the late1800's. I knew the name meant bone in hungary but we have always misspelled it. Now i know that others exist in this world with this name.I really have no more info except for that.Not much help to you but maybe Debrecen is common to that name.

I know this name from my childhood. We referred to relative as Uncle Al(Aladore Csontos). I do not believe he was an uncle but actually a cousin but he was older so we called him Uncle Al. He lived in Connecticut around the Bridgeport area and had immigrated from Hungary. I am also looking for info on my grandmother, Irma Kulchar. She was also from Hungary near Budapest. I remember stories of a family farm in Connecticut. Unfortunately, my grandmother and mother are no longer living, which make this search harder. Please let me know id you have any info. Thanks.

Hi. My father's name is Alladore Csontos and also lived with his father Alexander Csontos in Bridgeport, Conn. I also know that Irma Kulchar is a relative of mine, although I don't remember off hand how. How old was the Aladore Csontos you remember? My father was born in 1941. Is this one too young. Also is the family farm you recall, was it called the Demetas Farm? That has been a recurring story from my childhood as well. Please let me know if this information is helpful. You can just respond to my email at csontos@yahoo.com. Thank you. It's finally good to know that others out there also have the most difficult name to try to have someone spell.

My great grandfather?

Brian,
I think we are related. Do you know Richard and Robin Chontosh. If so, I am your great aunt. If you are looking for information about your great grandfather, so am I. He would be my Dad. Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi,

I am trying to trace my grandmother's family tree. She was an immigrant from Hungary. She was born in 1899 and came from Budapest. She lived in Duquesne PA and died in 1994. Her name was Elizabeth Csontos and she married a Forsthoffer who was also and immigrant but he was from Germany. I've been searching and searching. Maybe we're related.

Hi,

My grandmother's maiden name was Csontos. She was born in 1899 in Hungary and came over here about 1917 or 1918. I don't know anything else about her origins, she died in 1994 and hardly spoke English. Maybe we're related.
