Hi, Evellyne, I am Linda Recca. I am trying to help my cousin Michael Orban find his family members. His mother's name Eva Listmayer or Listmeier was born in Pusztavam in 1907. She had a brother Joseph Listmayer and a brother Paul Listmeier. Her sister Marie died as a teenager in Pusztavam. I believe Joseph was the oldest, so he was born before 1907. Paul Listmeier was born about 1915, all were born in Pusztavam. Eva came to the USA at least 4 times, the first in 1926 through Canada, Halifax, Nova Scotia and from there went to Illinois to visit her aunt Elizabeth Listmayer,the second time she arrived in New York Oct 1933 from Hamburg Germany, the next trip was in 1940, arriving at New York from Genoa Italy, there was one other trip earlier than 1926, but I did not recognize the names of the people she was traveling with , she was about three years old. She lived in Passaic New Jersey and Clifton NJ, Her friends and prehaps family members were Henry and Ester Barabas. They lived in Passaic and Ramsey NJ. Joseph Listmayer was killed in the town square during the Hungarain Revolution. Paul Listmeier married Marie Zeichmeister and lived in Germany. He was in the German Army, he did not volunteer, during WW II . He was captured by the Russian Army and sent to a terrible prison for four years. He was released after the war and returned to Germany. In 1955 he immigrated to the the US and lived in Clifton NJ with his sister Eva Listmeier or Listmayer. Eva married Stephen Orban who was also from Hungary. We do not know the grandparents names, but would love to find the family. I can be reached at www.bigbearjohnny @ aol.com ( this is my husband John's e- mail) You may reach me there anytime. We appreciate any and all help you may offer. Thanks L Recca!!!!
