Ilona Szatmari married Ferenz Daku. (born 5/11/1888) They had a daughter Irene born 9/23/13 (my grand mother). Ferenz immigrated to the US in April of 1914. He lists on the ‘Vamospercs’ as his home on the immigration record. Ilona died in or around 1917 (my grandmother said she was 4 years old when her mother died) Irene lived with an Aunt in Bagamer until she came to the US in 1922. Her immigration documents list her nearest living relative as ‘Widow Stephen Harsanyr’ not sure of the spelling of that name (nobody at Ellis Island spelled Hungarian names well) and an address of ‘Busi Utca 15 Debrecen’
Unfortunately my grandmother would not talk about her childhood in Hungary – it is believed she saw her mother killed during WWI – she did mention that she stayed with an Aunt until her father could send for her, and that the Aunt & Uncle had vineyards.

Any information or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Ilona

The manifests were written at the port of departure and transcribed by a volunteers in US.
Village Vamospercs is in Hajdu megye, Hungary and Bagamer is in Bihar megye of Hungary.
Both villages church records in LDS-Mormons (Family History Center). You might want to look into them for ancestral information.
