My Kiraly family....

My Kiraly family....

I'm searching for any information regarding my grandparents, Alex Kiraly and spouse Elizabeth (Papp)Kiraly. They lived on Markison Ave in Columbus, Ohio. Both are buried in Columbus. They had 2 sons, Carl and William. I am the daughter of Carl. Only saw my father once in my life, when I was quite young. The last time I saw my Kiraly grandparents I was 17 or 18 years old, I am now 73. Carl married my mother Lucile Kershner. I really want to know more about my Hungarian heritage. I have been very proud of it all my life. If you have information, email me. Thank You.... Carol

Hi Carol,
I located an Alexander W. Kiraly, born July 4, 1879 of Bukzsercz, Hungary. Died August 13, 1963 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio. Immigrated in 1905. That information was compiled from the 1930 Federal Census and both WWI and WWII draft registration cards. My great grandfather was a Alexander, his hungarian name was Sandor. Just a FYI bit of info for you. We are not related by this Alex/Alexander/Sandor.
The census shows his wife as Rebecca, born in 1884, Hungary, immigrated in 1907. Married about 1902.
William born 1909, in Hungary per the 1930 census, this may be incorrect considering when his parents immigrated.
William and his wife Kateline are living with his parents in 1930.
Carl A., born abt 1912, also in Hungary, is a taxi driver and living with his parents in 1930 also.
All of this was discovered by looking in the online documents. I don't have them listed in my Kiraly line, but that doesn't mean much! My Kiraly's settled first in NYC, then in Cleveland. It was a large family.
Good Hunting!
