Question:

Please Help?

I am looking for information on Joseph Molnar that married a Julie Elek. I know that they had a daughter named Helen that married Mihaly Gere. This is all the information that I have, and I am new to researching this. Thanks


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I also saw the listing for Joseph Molnar and Julia in Akron Ohio. I really hoped they might be your people, but this is the reason I don't think so.

I replied to Curt regarding his question on Mihaly Gere and Helen Molnar. I found them in the 1930 census, living in Detroit. It states that Helen immigrated in 1914 or 1917 (hard to tell on the sheet) and she was born in 1898.

Looking at Joseph and Julia, it clearly states that they both immigrated in 1909. While many Hungarians, both my grandfathers too, came over first, found work, and then sent for their families, it is doubtful that they would leave children back in the old country, no matter who would have been taking care of them.

Do you have any ages for them or other siblings of Helen?
