The RUTSTEIN family members who came >from Vilkaviskis, Lithuania to

In the US the several brothers became ROTH! No RUTSTEINS here.

Hi,

I have a passenger record that records a person emigrating >from Hungary t=
o
New York in 1911. The person's father is listed as >from " V. Karoly."

Looking at Shtetl Seeker, I find:

GERLA 4641 2106 V Hungary 110.3 miles ESE of Budapest
CRHLA 4829 1920 N Slovakia 104.3 miles ENE of Bratislava =

KAROL 4825 1949 N Slovakia 125.4 miles E of Bratislava =

KIRALYI (KRALIK) 4825 2019 V Slovakia 148.2 miles E of Bratislava =

KIRALYI (HORNA KRALOVA) 4814 1755 V Slovakia 37.3 miles E of Bratisla=
va

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Moderator: Although the date is 1911 and, therefore, the place name should be Hungarian, I wonder whether V. Karoly may be Nagy Karoly. V. usually stands for Velky, which means big and means the same as Nagy Karoly. Nagy Karoly, Hungary, was in Szatmar megye and is the former name of Carei, Romania.

Hello Ravsig Group:

Thank you Stan for reminding me that I left out a pertinent detail in
my question to the group.

Ha Yehudi Ha Kadosh is >from Przysucha, Poland. The town was also known
as P'shischah. He was born in Przedborz, Poland in 1766 and died in
1818 in the above mentioned town.

I think that you're probably looking for Karacsonfalva, now
Craciunesti, Romania. I believe that Yiddish name of this place near
Sighet was Kretsnif or Krechenev.

Here is my recent experience with civil records in
Hungary. On our recent visit to Hungary, I visited the
civil registers department of two Budapest districts,
hoping to be able to do some post 1895 research. In
the 7th district office I was told that the registers
were confidential, even when more than 90 years old,
but the clerk was willing to look for the specific
infomation I wanted, which unfortunately wasn't there
any way. In the office of the 19th district, I had
even less luck - the lady in charge there informed you
that you need papers to prove you are a close relative
to get any information at all, again even if the
records you want are more than 90 years old. To acces
the information >from outside Hungary you need to jump
through even more hoops, going through the Hungarian
Embassy in your country of residence. It does seem as
if the clerks exercise different degrees of discretion
in applying the regulations.

The former Zemplen megye was divided after WW I so
that the southern
part stayed in Hungary and the northern part was
incorporated into
Czechoslovakia. Vivian's advice applies to the
northern (Slovakian)
portion. For the time period you ask about, I
suspect the first
option would be writing to the local municipality,
regardless of
location. If your town of interest is located in
the southern
(Hungarian) portion of the former Zemplen, you could
also try writing
to the following regional archives:

It was originally believed that my Grandmother >from Wielkie Ozcy, Poland
name was Rachel Wolfus. However, discovery of different documents and
photos, has shown us varying surnames.

The following are all possibilities,
WOLFUS - Australian Naturalisation Certificate
WOLLFUSS- photo
WOLFUSSOWNA- photo
BOLFUS- Ketcher BOLFUS - Her Father, farmer and Emily BOLFUS, Mother.
Marriage certificate

If anyone has any information on any of these names/surnames it would be
greatly appreciated if you could send it to me at gabriela_k25@hotmail.com

Gabriela...

The number of competing surnames is no greater than two, not four as you appear
to believe; in fact, I think there is no competition at all.

WOLFUS and WOLFUSS are, of course, the same thing. The minor difference is a
result of different state of mind in tranliterating >from Cyrillic to Latin
characters.

WOLFUSSOWNA is not an independent surname, but is exactly the way that a woman,
a daughter or wife of a WOLFUSS, would write her surname.

I suspect that "BOLFUS" may also be the result of transliteration. Someone
unfamiliar with Russian has become confused between the second and third
letters of the Cyrillic alphabet.
