Csontos from NY/NJ

Csontos from NY/NJ

My husband's grandfather came from Rosedale, Queens, NY. He moved to Jersey City, Hudson, NJ as a young man.
The farthest back on the Csontos line is Rudolph Csontos and wife, Marie Karcek. They are my husband's great grandparents. They are both buried in Rosedale. My husband's grandfather was born in 1918, so I'm figuring 20-30 years prior for his parents. I'm not sure which generation would have been the immigrants.
While poking around in FamilyHistory.com's databases of passenger lists from Austria, Galicia Poland, I found:
Istran Csontos immigrated on the ship "Noorland", arrival NY 18900207.
I found in the NY Naturalization 1907-24 database a petition for Naturalization for a Charles Csontos, 315 Lenox Ave (no city listed) on 11 FEB 1921.
I hope this info helps someone. I don't believe they are directly related to my husband.

I was wondering if you have any information on the Karcek line. In my husbands anstry there is a Karsch but it might be a typo. We know nothing about her except that she immigrated from Yugoslavia and was born in 1882.

I believe I can answer some of your questions. It looks like your husband's grandparents were Bill and Ann Csontos. My father, Edward Rudolph, was the oldest, with Dorothy, Henrietta (Helen), and Bill following. Ann had done extensive research on the Csontos family so maybe someone has her paperwork. You won't find much before Rudolph because when he and his brother John were 8 & 10 years old, their father died and they were brought totally German, no Austro-Hungarian because their mother didn't know any. Marie's last name is Karkheck and her parents were born in Ridgewood. I understood from my father that they were here for many, many years, not recent immigrants even when he was born. DOn't know if any of them even knew their grandfather's first name.

Does that help?

Hi Ruth

Trying to help Reva with CSONTOS line. By any chance you know the ancestral village?
For a second there I thought that KARKHECK will not be found but there were 12 that came thru Ellis Island. www.ellisislandrecords.org
Did find small number of KARKHECKs in Germany's phone book.
