A Little Bit Of History  . . . . . .
My gr-grandfather’s name was Jozsef Szendrei. He was born April 20, 1862 in Karczag, Szolnok, Hungary (now Karcag Jasz-nagy-kun-Szolnok, Hungary).

Jozsef Szendrei’s first marriage was to Rosalia PUSKAS on November 14, 1887 in Karcag, Szolnok, Hungary.  (Rosalia died December, 1894.) 
Born to Jozsef and Rosalia were two daughters:
   - Erzebet Szendrei, born April, 1894, died May, 1894
   - Zsuzsanna, born March, 1892.  (I am looking for any information on Zsuzsanna)

Jozsef Szendrei remarried in March, 1895 to Erzsebet Sebok.  Born to them, in Hungary, were five children, three sons and two daughters (all born in Karczag, Szolnok, Hungary)

September, 1911, Joszef and Erzebet Szendrei, along with their five children, immigrated to Canada aboard the ship, S.S. Piza.  (Ship manifests do not show Jozsef’s daughter, Zsuzsanna, from his first marriage, immigrating to Canada.  So I have to assume that she was left behind or died before they emigrated.)

Three more children were born to Jozsef and Erzsebet after they arrived in Canada (one of the three born in Canada was my grandmother, Annie Emerentia).  I have excluded my grandmother’s siblings names, because two are still living.
