Hi Brian:
I noticed that you mentioned your mom, Mildred Balog, was from Braddock, Pennsylvania. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but I know that members of my extended BALOG (also spelled BALOGH and BALOGA among other variants in spelling) family settled in Pennsylvania, including in Braddock. My grandparents and their ancestors were from the Spis (Szepes) and Saris (Saros) regions of Slovakia (formerly part of Hungary). Please feel free to write directly to me at
David1Law@aol.com (the "1" is a "one"). I hope to hear from you.
