Hello, List!

Family emmigrated from Pressburg, Hungary. Also looking for Stenzinger also
from Pressburg, and Jakel from Bereatolz, Hungary (Jago Slavia) and Arazim
family from "Bohemia, Czechoslovakia."

Ferdinand Jakobovitsch left Budapest on June 11, 1902 aboard vessel Frederic
de Grosse arriving Port of New York on June 29, 1902, arriving St. Paul,
Minnesota around 1907. His wife, Gertrude and children Victor and Gazelle
followed. Gertrude died in 1927 when a faulty gas heater in her home leaked
carbon monoxide. No record of Gazelle or Ferd after this death. I am looking
for Gazelle, no record has been found of her and I'm wondering if she and Ferd
(although Ferd petitioned for naturalization in 1913) returned to Budapest.
Victor stayed in US, soldiered and married.

Joannim and Anna (Goit) Jacobovitz left via Brennen in 1909 and arrived at
Montreal to Detroit to St. Paul, Minnesota, 7 daughters (one is my
grandmother) and one son, Stephen.

Anyone know this family name?
