In Response To: Re: Irene Pochek (j. varsanyi)

I found the family in the 1940 census in New Jersey but not in any other censuses:

Here's Albert's draft registration for WW I, which lists his exact birth date:

Here's a page with information about Daisytown and the mine there:

and this page locates it on a map:

Here's Geza's findagrave record with his obituary, which lists three older brothers not in the 1940 census.

Here's a message board post about the family and when they came to America:

http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?pochek::hungary::7766.html

I couldn't find any immigration records.

I suspect their last name got changed when they arrived in America. If you know what it was in Hungary I might be able to find more there.

Some of the URL's didn't end up as clickable links so you'll have to copy them into your browser.
