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.

P.S. I received an email from a Viktoria Vereczki who found this lens. We've hooked up as friends through Facebook. With the rarity of this surname, we're probably related.  The internet is such a wonderful research resource!

A little background on the Vereczki history ... 

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.

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!

Soundex !!!

When researching, you need to look at many variations of the name as demonstrated in the next module.

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

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

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 ..."
