Attached is the death cert with the birthplace that is apparently Veszprem megye for one Joseph Mics [aka Mich, Mitch] born @1888 with father Anthony Mics and mother Emilia Meyer. The fellow who is the actual grandfather of friend, Anthony Mitch, is on the second attachment. The death cert gives Anthony's birth year as 1888. However, his birth year on his tombstone is 1880 which matches with his U.S. census and other records. His father is listed as Joseph Mitch and mother as Mary Meyers. I don't know this but think that the Joseph Mics is Anthony Mitch's 1st cousin. If I am correct, then the Mitch fathers of these two may be brothers so would be "from" the same general area. [It's possible the two Meyer(s) mothers were kinswomen to each other also]. Anton/Anthony Mitch has on his various U.S. census records that he immigrated abt. 1897-1901. He has a daughter with wife #1 [unknown name], a Theresa [forename variants] Mitch who, according to her 1910 census listing, was born in Hungary in 1900 (so the 1901 immigration year for Anthony Mitch is more likely].. Teresa's mother is no longer in the picture in 1910 and the father Anthony Mitch has been married for 3 years (noted on census) to second wife Mary Mika (also listed as born in Hungary). [I do not know who her people are.] I've skimmed through the Ellis Island records for any sign of these Mitch people but haven't been able to identify them. I found a few Mitch-surnamed people who were from Veszprem megye and some specifically from Nagytevel. I wasn't exactly sure which surname variants may exist for Mitch but I tried several. Do you have any suggestions? Meyer(s) especially and possibly Mitch sound Germanic. What do you think? I did see where there were a number of historically ethnic Germans in Veszprem meyge. The U.S. census records for "native language" for the Mitch family are inconsistent. Two have Magyar and one has German. The birthplace is always Hungary or Austro-Hungary. What I had in mind was to mark the general locations of the friend's Grandfather Mitch's origin and the Grandparents Szabo's on a map and include a few area pictures. It is interesting to me that the grandchildren of American immigrants often do not know where their grandparents were born. I know this is a time consuming question! However, I looked over your posts and see where you are knowledgeable about this research arena so thought I'd ask. It's for a good cause as elderly friend is a widow and will, hopefully, enjoy the information and share it with whomever children grandchildren and great grandchildren she has who are interested. I always qualify what I find and share with a "this is what I believe but for people who are really interested it's important to check out the records for themselves." Genealogy is not an exact science, eh?
