Another note from my Mom (Ann Mohr Osisek) to my daughter (Chloe Osisek) about my paternal grandmothers sides immigration, and further proof that I am Slovak as apposed to Polish, NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT....... But from now on, when I am in a bad mood, I will chalk it up to partial Ukrainian blood. Here it go: Chloe, Thanks to you & your Dad, its nice to know that my family research is appreciated. And here is the Szijjarto story: Grandfather Andrew Szijjarto (also spelled Szyjjarto & changed to Cearto) came to this country in 1899 and on his Petition for Naturalization listed his name as Andras Szijjarto and showed his birthplace to be Uhroc, Czechoslovakia. His application is dated 1937 in which he renounces (I listed it wrong on the Osisek application as announces) his allegiance to The Czechoslovakian Republic. His Naturalization Certificate states that his former nationality is Czechoslovakian. We have a copy of Grandfather Szijjartos Baptismal Certificate where it shows his parents as Janos (John) Szijjarto of Palocz and Erzsebet (Elizabeth) Szlasko of Ungvar, Slovakia. Janos (John) was the Okresny Tanito or District teacher and instructor. Grandmother Mary Szijjarto came to this country in 1901 under the name Mary Voradi (changed to Varady) and showed her birthplace as Mehaloce, Czecho Slovakia on her Petition for Naturalization dated 1940. On her Naturalization Certificate she states that her former nationality is Czechoslovakian. On Grandmother Ceartos death certificate it shows her birthplace as Austria Hungary as well as that of her parents Andrew Varady and Mary Pavlocik. Grandmother Ceartos son-in-law George J. Sabol (husband of daughter Anna) wrote up a family history in which he stated that Andrew Szijjarto was born in Bezovce, Zemplin District. I would suggest doing a google search for these locations such as Ungvar, Michalovce & the Zemplin District or Region (note different spelling above) and you will read about the border changes in that area especially after World War I - youll see maps, references and lots of information about that entire area to better understand the history of the region that is on the eastern side of Hungary bordering the Ukraine. There is lots more information but I think that these basics will help you with your Social Studies project. Love, Grammy
