Subject: [HUNGARY-L] MENTA Surname
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 22:29:14 -0400


Hi from Florida,

Does anyone know if MENTA is also an Hungarian surname?

My grandmother Elisabeth MENTA (1882-1937) supposedly came from Nyoger
but a search of the church records came up empty. She emigrated to the
States in April or May 1896. I have no data on the ship nor to which
port she arrived nor do I know if she came with family. Her father Anton
(1854-?) was probably in Buffalo at the time (supposedly came in 1892)
and her mother was deceased. Anton's new wife in 1900 was Ida and she
had a daughter Helen Szucs, age 1. Elisabeth did live in Buffalo,
married and moved to New Jersey about 1901/02.

If anyone has any leads I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Charlie
