Looking to hook-up with descendants of the Vereczki family!

 

I've written another lens on Nagy, the Hungarian Name, which discusses the commonality of the Nagy name.  On the other hand, the Vereczki name is quite the opposite; i.e., its useage is rather rare and indeed difficult to put my finger on any wealth of information.  But, I continue to research this family name and hope to come in contact with other descendants of the Vereczki line.

My great grandmother, Julia Vereczki was born April 8, 1873 in Szatmar, Austro-Hungary, [now known as Satu Mare, Romania, located near the border of Hungary].  She married Steve [Istvan] Nagy on October 26, 1889 in Szatmar, Austro-Hungary, located near the border of Hungary.  

Steve was born August 20, 1864 in Hungary, and died September 1930 in Europe. He was thought to be of Turkish descent because of his dark good looks.

Julia [Vereczki] Nagy died April 19, 1940 with her ashes interned at Highland Park Cemetary in Cleveland, Ohio.  Her last known address was 1774 W. 28th Street, Cleveland, Ohio.

P.S. I recently received an email from a Viktoria Vereczki who found this lens.  With the rarity of this surname, we're probably related.  The internet is such a wonderful research resource!

Researching family headstones in Satu-Mare, Romania 

A few years ago, I incorporated a visit to three cemetaries in Satu-Mare, Romania, and one cemetary in Budapest, Hungary to photograph headstones while tracing my families history. I could honestly do more vacations like this, but my hubby thinks I'm a bit nuts!

Researching Hungarian Genealogy 

Related genealogy lenses ... 

Now, the Nagy and Kovach names are rather common ...

Is Laszlo Moholy-Nagy related to the Alexander Nagy family? Physically, the resemblance is amazing!!

Are you into genealogy or maybe of the Vereczki lineage? 

I'd love to hear from you ... please take a moment to drop me a line and tell me more. Thank you.

Footnote 

I'm basically "just getting started" here with my research into the "Vereczki" name. As it is a rather uncommon name, unlike Nagy: The Hungarian Name, I hope to be more successful in unearthing our family tree!

A few years ago, I did find a listing of a Dr. Vereczki in Budapest, Hungary. "Hey, what an amazing coincidence," I thought. "This must surely be a distant relative; especially since they have the surname of my great grandmother."

After emailing them about my research into the family name, I received no response. I hope to be a little more successful this time around. Hey, maybe they'll answer my email?

"I will continue my research into the Vereczki family name. And so my journey continues ..."

Squid Angel + Giant Squid + >2 years @ Squidoo! As a member of the Giant Squids 100 Club, I've called Squidoo my home away from home having created over 330 lenses along with 6 groups. I joined Squidoo after receiving a personal invitation from BzzAgent. I HEART Squidoo -- can't YOU tell?

Would you like a jumpstart on Squidoo? Jaguar Julie can help! Buy one of Jaguar Julie's Lenses!

Why am I selling some of my lenses? I've taken over management of a feral cat colony of some 14+ cats of which 5 pregnant females have been spayed along with one male tabby that was recently neutered!

I'm thrilled to have had two of my lenses featured as the Lens of the Day. The first was in June 2006, To Catch a Thief in Under 40 Days and in March 2008, Jaguar Julie Lensography.

I'm a style fashionista and marketing professional who has garnered some 25 years in Corporate America; most recently as the marketing director for a pressroom chemicals start-up company, and previously as a marketing manager for a fortune 500 Fujifilm company. As the persona behind the brand of Jaguar Julie and as the CEO of Jaguar Julie Designs, I'm a marketing consultant and an online seller with a store on eCrater.

Also, I've been a BzzAgent for 5 years. I'm really into modern and contemporary design and love to spot emerging trends. I really "dig" indie designers plus name-brand designers. You could say my style and taste is European-chic with a flair for the eclectic.

I've been often asked what my favorite foods are? That's easy -- just check out my lenses for a clue: What is Basa?, Stuffed Cabbage, Hungarian Goulash, Polish Pierogi, Kifli, Butter Horns, Christmas Eggnog, and Chicken Red Curry. And, as a person is WHAT THEY EAT, I'm now a big fan of Jenny Craig food!
