I am researching my Grosz lineage and need some guidance.

Samuel Grosz was born abt 1854 in Nagyszollos and died on 24 May 1899
in Nyirbator.

His parents were reportedly Abraham Eliezer Grosz and Ester Trager.

Does anyone on this list have experience chasing family history >from the
period prior to 1860 in Nagyszollos?

I feel sometimes that my time may be better spent chasing more modern
documentation.
