Message:

My Great Grand mother was Victoria "Fibus". According to the 1910 US census, Anna Kolar, came from Austria (Ger.) Her mother, Victoria was born in Austria (Hungary). I assume that both references were meant to say Austria-Hungary since Anna actually came from Budapest. Possibly RikosMikaley (s) In addition, if Passenger lists can be reliable Anna Kolar appears as arriving in 1904 in the Port of New York. She listed her brother as being in Boston. I have yet to confirm any Kolar in Boston at that time. In 1905 her other brother Frannie or Ferenz sent her a postcard inquiring of her status. The postcard address was Budapest.So if the foregoing connects with any information on the Hungarian "Fibus" family I would appreciate knowing.Thank you and regards. GAP
