I know only bits and pieces about my hungarian relatives. I know that my great grandparents came to america in the early 1900's. My fathers name is Arnold Jay Olah, my grandfather was born in america shortly after the family moved here. Someone in the family was or is named John Olah. If anyone knows anything, please let me know. Thanks!

I'm taking a stab in the dark here BUT..... my grandmother's father's name was John Olah and he lived in Akron OH, he also had a son John Olah Jr. who also lived in Akron OH and from what I can find John Jr. died in 1960, because I have a funeral thank you note to my parents postdated 13 Sept 1960 from a Mrs. John Olah family. The SSDI has a John Olah 299-01-9128 who was born 05 Jan 1902 and died Aug 1960, which would make him about 6 yr. younger than my grandmother. BUT that is about all I know about them. My grandmother's name is Theresa, I was told she was born in Budapest Hungary, she married a Stephen Gerebich also from Hungary. Is there any chance this could be the same John Olah family from Akron OH that you are related to. I am very new to genealogy and am having GREAT difficulties tracing my mother's side of the family, she was born Helen Ann Gerebich to Stephen and Theresa Gerebich.
