I am looking for information in reference to my mothers side of the family,
The SEPPER's/OPPERMAN's. According to Ellis Island records they came from
Hungary in the early 1900's. The infofmation I have found so far is below.
The town names are listed as found on the manifest and mostly incorrect. for
example cservenka ia now in Yugoslavia. Anyone that has information on this
family please contact me.
Thanks in advance Ray SHERWOOD (AZ)


Elise SEPPER

Departed from Antwerp, Belgium 1 May 1909
Arrived at Ellis Island 11 May 1909 Age 4y 6m Femalw Single
Ethnicity; Hungary/German
Residence; Hungary, N Pogna
Person contacted in US; Peter SEPPER (father)
Residence; 317 East 25th street, NYC,NY

Elise traveled with 8 members of the JUNG family who may be related to the
SEPPERs or the OPPERMAN (my Gmothers side of the family).
Jakob JUNG 59y Married Male
Elisa JUNG 55y Married Female Wife
Fillip JUNG 31y Married Male
Barbara JUNG 30y Married Female (Phillip's wife)
Elisa JUNG 8y Single Female
T..llip JUNG 5y Single Male First name hard to read,
believe its Fillip
Katorzina JUNG 4y Single Female
Jacob JUNG 2y Single Male

I have found implications that the JUNG family are cousins, wether this was
to keep officials happy as to whom they are joining or fact. Still checking
this out.
Prior to Elise's departure she was residing with Mihaly OPPERMAN, in New
Pagna, Hungary
