My family (Kment) also arrived in New York from Europe during the first 10 years of this century. Me and my older brother have been searching for any link to our European ancestors but so far we have no leads. I have the date, vessel and names of all the Kments arriving when my family arrived in New York. I only know that my father said (and so did the family immigration papers)that they started their immigration to the West from Hungary but I was told that Kment is not of Hungarian origin... and most likely from Slovenia or Czechnia. They sailed Europe from Bremen, Germany to New York. I have almost given up trying to trace my family starting with my parents, grand parents and great grandparents. I am now thinking of just finding the origin of the name Kment, any related village(s) and going back as far as I can by finding one or more Kment families who have kept records going back into distant history. Do you think you might help or refer me to someone who would be able to assist me in my search? You are welcome to the information I have regarding the documents and names of the Kments of my ancestory arriving in New York. Best regards,

Researching: HORHUTZ
Seeking info on my great-grandparents. All we really know is that my great-grandfather, Peter Horhutz, immigrated from a country on the Austria-Hungary border. It was during the war, and the borders kept moving. We think he was escaping from Franz Joseph's army as he was very reluctant to speak of why he came to America. Peter was married to Irene, and had three children, John Paul, Libby & Mary (born in USA). The name Horhutz was altered from its original spelling at Ellis Island, making this search particularly difficult. Peter said it was changed because it was too hard for Americans to pronounce. Peter also said he was not Russian, but Rusyn, but he attended a Russian Orthodox church. His now elusive passport had the towns of Galicia and Jaslo mentioned. Can anyone out there enlighten me?
