I requested a Liptay surname mailing list from rootsweb.
brendad@pioneer.net
I am researching a Liptay from Hungary who ended up in Maryland with his name changed to John Smith.
There were these guys;
-
Gyorgy Liptay found in:
Maryland: Baltimore - Passenger Lists (1892 - 1948)
-
Janos Liptay found in:
Maryland: Baltimore - Passenger Lists (1892 - 1948)
-
The July, 1905 immigration record shows Maria, Gyorgy and Janos Liptay with the name, Janiko scratched through the Liptay name.
-
The Liptay who changed his name to John Smith died in the mid 1960s I think??
His wife was Elizabeth Tolson, she died in the 1980s.
They were involved in Maryland politics somehow.
-
There are a lot of Liptays in the Soc. Sec. Death Index born around 1880 to 1900 ish.
I wonder if they were related?
