I am searching for any info on the following families:
My great grandfather was Reverend Emory BERTALAN b. 1-19-1875 in Budapest Hungary, his mother's name was Elizabeth. I think he was a Calvinist minister. He married Rose PALFY/PALFFY/PALFI/PALFFI (not sure
of spelling). Their son James Emory BERTALAN b. 1-31-1903 was my grandfather. Rose died when he was just 5, sometime in 1908, after which Rev. BERTALAN and my grandfather, James, came to America. They settled in Pennsylvania. My grandfather met my grandmother Ethel PETO b. 1-12-1908. Her parents were John PETO b. 4-24-1885 in Bereg County Hungary, and Esther or Stella LISKA b. 4-2-1885 in Nagy Geres Hungary. John Peto ported in Perth Amboy, NJ and he married Esther/Stella there on 11-27-1905. She ported at Ellis Island.
This is all the information that I have and would appreciate any help in finding more info.
Thanks.
Sue Crayne
