Actually, they were from Abaujvar, Hungary, but I am hoping someone in this

group will be able to interpret the letter to English even though Hungarian. 

After about 1918 or so they lived in the Cleveland, Ohio area and moved around a

lot since renting:

Oh my goodness, seems they moved quite a lot - all in the Cleveland area!  Might

be easier for you to tell me where your family lived, ha ha!

Okay - about 1920 they lived on E. 89th near Cumberland corner

Then they moved to Hulda approx. 1924

Then onto 82nd off Kinsman

Then to Soughton

Then to 93rd near Cumberland again or maybe it was Kennedy

Then to Holton by about 1926

Then to 82nd off Woodland

Later to Harvey

Then to 111th

And then to 119th.

 

Mary Fazekas was living in Dillonvale, Ohio when she wrote the letter to her

husband, Steve, and Steve was in Cleveland looking for work and a place for the

family to live.  Steve was a coal miner in the Dillonvale area and the jobs were

getting scarce about 1918 so that is when he went to Cleveland to find work. 

I'm hoping the letter will mention family (think I saw Elizabeth mentioned) and

that will help with my research.  Plus, getting this letter interpreted will

make my mother-inlaw and her 2 sisters very happy!  They only gave me a copy of

the letter, as they want the original.  As you can imagine, their eyesight isn't

what it used to be (they are in their 90's), so they can no longer read it like

they used to do.

Hello:



Where is your Gonda family originally from in Slovakia? And where did they

live in Cleveland, Ohio?



Sincerely,

Hello!



My mother-inlaw sent me a letter written by her mother in 1916.  She wrote the

letter to her husband, Steve Fazekas, who was in Cleveland, Ohio, looking for a

place for all of them to live and also for work.  I believe it is in Hungarian,

so hopefully someone in this group can interpret this for me.  I would greatly

appreciate this!!!  Especially, if I could tell my mother-inlaw and her sisters,

who are all in their 90's, what the letter says.  I put the letter in the photo

album, titled 'Gonda Family'.

Thanks, ever so much!!!
