Topic starter
I am not sure where to start, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
My wife's family came to the US from Hungary between 1903 and 1907. We just had a daughter and I would like to gather what I can of her family history.
My wife's Grandfather Jozsef Papp came to the US in 1907 from what is now Serbia. I am looking for information about him and his family.
Jozsef Papp born Feb 1887 Okanizsa, Hungary (now Kanjiza Serbia)
Brother: Vince Papp
Father: Szilveszter Papp
Mother: Terezia Sarnyai
Religion: Catholic
Thank you!
David

I believe my Grandmother was married to a Johann Papp (believe it was a 2nd marriage for both of them). I found a letter from Johann from Salzburg Austria this morning in a box of old letters addressed to my Mother from 1961. I can't read it though, it's in german but I believe he's telling her that her Mother (my Grandmother) has just passed away. He could have possibly come from the same area as your family (they met at a displaced persons camp in Ridenburg Casserne Austria in 1945 or so. I'm going to get the letter translated and see if it gives any info. I have a picture in my hallway of my Grandmother and Johann (he was a very handsome older man). I have some information if you're interested on places to look. Angela
