Janos Kozak

Janos Kozak

Surnames: Kozak, Almasy
I've come to a brick wall and I'm hoping someone can help. I'm researching Andras (Andrew) and Teresa Almasy. I've learned that Andras came to the US first, and then Teresa and the children followed. I have not found the manifest for Andras' trip, but I did find the manifest for the trip Teresa and the children made (ship name: Rhein; Arrival Sep 1909). This is where I'm confused. The manifest shows that her next of kin in Hungary was mother-in- law KOZAK, Janosne. I've been told that Janosne means she was the wife of Kozak, Janos. It's strange to me that Andras Almasy's father's last name would be Kozak..... but the manifest clearly says that it's Teresa's mother-in-law. I would assume that's a mistake -- maybe there was a language issue of some kind, but I can't find the parents of Andras Almasy anywhere either. I hope someone can offer some advice. Thanks so much!!

No mistake, the arrival manifests were written at the port of departure from a document that was presented by our ancestor to the shipping clerk.

Which port the did Teresa and the children arrived?
There is a Place of Birth or last residence and so there is where one goes.

You can see how close Zegestow is to Szulin [Sulin now present Slovak Republic.]

In Slovakia when it was under Hungary rule spelling BRATICSAK.
In Poland : BRATYCZAK or similar

Wow. I never would have seen/understood all of that information! Thank you.

Can you explain to me more about the mother-in-law, Ozv KOZAK Janosne? Why isn't part of her name Almasy (If Andres Almasy is the husband of Terez, I assume Ozv Kozak Janose is Andres' mother -- is that incorrect?

Thanks again for the endless amount of help you've given me.

You're welcome Melissa.
Terez's mother-in-law was ALMASSY but is now a widow of Janos KOZAK. You did not find any KOZAK married in Nagysaros's church record?
Maybe she, Mrs. Kozak was from a neighboring village so the church marriage record would be in the church she attended.
Andras ALMASSY's father dies and his mother re married a Janos KOZAK ? That's how it seems, right?
