Susan (Saks) Nolan; Abington, PA. SAKATSITS, Urbersdorf, DEUTSCH, Strem, all settled Allentown, 1901.Religion: Roman Catholic. The first to arrive in the US of our family was Joseph Sakatsitz ( that is how he signed several official documents in early 1900s)in 1901. I also saw official forms with a variety of other spellings, like Szakatsis, Sakasits and a couple of others. That is probably why he shortened it to Saks! His birthdate is 1/14/1876. He married Maria (or Mary) Deutsch, April 16 1904 . Her birthdate is Dec 2, 1883. They lived on 4th St. in Allentown PA. They had 13 children, 10 lived past infancy/childhood. I am researching the family tree, and would love to know more about the area they came from, and the original spelling of our name. I am a great grand daughter of Joseph and Maria,their son Alfred Michael's grand daughter, through his son Joseph John Saks, my father. I believe Joseph Sakatsitz' parents' names were Stephan and Anna, and Maria's were John and Maria, Sr. After a small bit of research, I am also wondering if our family may have originally been Hungarian Jewish? Czchech, Slavakian, Polish? It also looks like my great grandfather may have had a brother Michael Sakstsits who arrived in 1904 in Allentown. I believe one brother shortened the name to Saks and one to Sacks. The two sides did not stay in touch although the Sacks side, I believe, moved only a short distance to the Northampton PA area. There may also have been a brother, or cousin Alois. Looking forward to joining the Burgenland Bunch! Thank you.

David Pearson; Wahoo, NE. ETL, Halbturn. Settled in Marshall County (South Dakota) around 1899. Roman Catholic. Hello, I am researching my great-grandfather Frank Etl, born around 1876. Records on Frank are slim to none. Some simple research shows he might have been born in Wallern, Burgenland. That search brought me here, where I see he might have been from Halbturn (Feltorony). I don't even have his exact birth date. Census data indicates he arrived around 1899, in Marshall County (South Dakota). Frank ETL may have arrived at Ellis Island on Sep. 22, 1899 on board the SS Oldenburg. He is listed as Ferencz ETL (Ferencz is Hungarian for Frank), age 23, from Feltorony (Halbturn), going to Webster (SD), to join a cousin, Fr. Steiner. Webster is just south of Marshall County (SD). The 1900 Census lists him as an employee of Frank Steiner in Marshall Co., SD, and says he was born in Sept 1876. Frank married Susanna (date unknown, but I think it was in 1899). I haven't been able to determine if they were married in America or Hungary. Susanna (nee PITZL) and Frank had several children, one of which is my grandfather George. Susanna was married before Frank, her husband (Joseph Michlitsch) and two sons died in a house fire. Information on Susanna has been a little easier to find, with the exception of her birth date and location.
