Julia and Andrew are my great grandparent from Hungary. They lived in Phila PA. No search comes up with their death information. I also looked through the PA death indices from 1940 to 1961. They were in Phila during the 1940 census.
Julia was born Nemet in 1883, Andrew was born in 1869. Andrew was also previously married and I cannot locate his first wife's name. Any help woudl be appreciated

Do you know where in Hungary Andrew was born, and what his parents names were?

I have the information in my public tree. http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/39821698/person/19880205020 I'm not sure the parents are correct. He was born in Pányok, Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen, Hungary accroding to his naturalization papers. Recenly spoke with my Grand Aunt who is 91. He and Julia may have died after 1961. I may have to request a 10 year search through the state.
Thanks for your help!

Have you looked on FamilySearch.org? Recently I found almost all of my Hungarian ancestors in the Baptismal Records which have been indexed for search. My ancestors where from Fejer County, so that's why I asked. I'm betting there is a connection somewhere up the chain. That's why I asked about parents names and where from. Let me know if you are able to find anything on FamilySearch.org?

Yes I have found the baptismal records for Hungary on Family Search. Julia and Andrew are very common names. Also it appears all the birth dates I found in Andrew's naturalization paper were incorrect. Not sure how accurate the place of birth is now! I did find a baptismal for Andrew that matched his birth date exactly and added info from that. He could have gotten his birth and baptism date mixed up and have the wrong birth place too. What is the normal time frame for baptismals? I think I was baptized 1 month later. Not sure how this will help me find their death dates...but its good info to have. Too bad I don't know Hungarian...it would make an interesting trip! I did visit Budapest back in 1987 but that was before I started Genealogy!

Yes, about a month post birth is a good guesstimate for baptisms.

I hope to make it there someday. My Korans were from Fejer County.

FamilySearch.org has a lot of Hungarian death records. Otherwise, for US deaths after 1961 I would think they would be in the SS death index, or a local obit. The local historical society can usually be helpful with that. Good luck! :-)
