I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack. My grandparents name was John and Clara Kovacs which homesteaded in Lestock Saskatchewan around 1903. I have a cousin by the name of Irene Kerekes. Her fathers name was Louis. I don't know if we are distantly related but I thought I would give it a try. My Grand mothers maiden name was Elek.

My Great Grandma is also Clara Kovacs. She was born July 29, 1892 in Slovenia. She married a Frank Gantor who died at 39 of stomach ulcers from working in a leather tannery in Girard, Ohio. I know she was previously married, and then, after Frank passed, I am pretty sure married again. I thought your info was too close to not reply. I'm wondering if through info passed on, it's blurbed and we are searching for the same person. My Grandma's name (Clara's daughter) is Margaret. Her siblings are Steve, Victor, Mitzi, Bill, John, Florence, Frank, Erma, Frida... Some are half brothers/sisters. Does any of this connect for you? My Clara Kovacs lived in Michigan for a bit also.

Surnames: Junga, Kovach, Kovacs
Hello! I am just beginning my work on my family but I am sure we are related. My father was George Junga, a son of Martin Junga who is in some way related to John (maybe brothers or cousins). They both resided in Toledo just a block away from each other and were close to the same age. If they are brothers, I am told their father was originally a Kovach (Kovacs?). I too am having trouble finding info. Someone in the family came from Buztia, Hungary. There is a catholic church there so I was going to seek info there. My email is paulsenpeter@comcast.net. I would love to contact you. Best of luck. Gina Junga Paulsen
