Hello Julia, I appreciate your reply to my note! Thank you. I don't know much about my great-grandmother, also named Julia Pilat except that she came from Hungary from a place called Bodrog Szerdaheley (spelling?). She emigrated to Pennsylvania and then Ohio around 1912 with her 4 daughters (my grandmother was one of the daughters). She died around 1940. If any of this sounds like it could be similar, please write. I'm not sure which generation you are writing about. Thank you, Gail Kelley
