Szakály surname

[lunafate]

Hello everyone!

I'm picking up the reins of the family genealogy from my mother, who posted here a couple years ago and received some amazing help. Her screen name is Chatsol, for those who might remember her.

I recently discovered additional information on my great grandfather and his mysterious origins. Although he went by the name(s) Vasyl/Basil/Charles Sokol, his naturalization paperwork shows his real name was László Szakály.

László immigrated with a few friends; Gabor Bacsko, Janos Viscsak and Janos Furjarricza. They were on the ship Slavonia, which departed from Fiume (now Rijeka, Croatia) in June of 1906 and arrived in New York in July. They were headed to Wilkes-Barre, PA, where Gabor Bacsko's brother lived.

According to the ship's manifest, his place of last residence was Felso Viznicze, which now appears to be named Verchnja Vyznycia. This corresponds to the information that Hannia gave my mother a couple years back; based on different documents, they determined the names were Vyshnja Vyznyzja (Polish version) and Felsoviznicze (Hungarian Version).

I was unable to locate Verchnja Vyznycia on a map, but did find Verkhnia Vyznytsia - might this be the same place or am I looking in the wrong spot?

In the meantime, I'm now attempting to trace the name László Szakály- and not having much luck. Has anyone come across this surname in their research? Or does anyone have any tips on where I should be looking next?

I look forward to speaking with everyone!

Of course, I remember Kathy. How is she? What is your name?

Nice to meet you Hannia!

I'm Tamara, her youngest. Mom is doing really well. She's been focused on her family's line for awhile now, managing their DNA database, etc. She even got to take a trip several states away to access an archive of family documents.

Since she's been caught up with work and the Manley family, I thought I'd pick up the Sokol/Szakaly line from where she'd left off. She tried to warn me that it was a tangled mess, but like her, I'm stubborn

Tamara,

So far I haven't come up w/much.

I did come across an article re the Greek Catholic Church in the selo/village.

The Birth of the Holy Mother of God was a GC Church built in 1836. In 1931 the Soviets converted it to a Russian Orthodox Church. In 2008 the villagers constructed a brand new Birth of the Holy Mother of God Greek Catholic Church.

That's a really interesting tidbit. Thank you so much for looking for me!

Are you aware that there are Census Records that have been filmed by LDS for Munkacs (BEREG) area?

Following might give you a prep as to what to expect:
Census - Magyar - Slovakia

PS> There is something that is really puzzling me. Why would GGrandfather use a Hungarian surname? Was he running from military conscription? What language did he use at home?

[Hannia]

T,

You might want to look into these LDS films and see if your ancestral village is included.
