Message:: [QUOTE="Sedona, post: 12020422, member: 4438"]Thanks, everyone. My great grandmother was from Hungary. My grandmother emigrated to the U.S. in 1937, as a young woman in her 20s. My great grandmother died when my grandmother was around 5 years old, in Hungary. So, when I was growing up, the country was under Communist rule, and we could not visit any of our relatives there. My late mother reached out to her relatives after 1990 (her father was from Hungary as well, so she had cousins on both sides). My mother received this photograph from her cousins much later. That is, this is not a photograph my grandmother or my mother had for decades. It was the only photograph my mom had of her maternal grandmother. It was a reproduction photograph that is approximately 5”x7”. My mother had it framed and matted. She was told by her cousins that it was taken in Passaic, New Jersey. My great grandmother came back to Hungary and married my great grandfather. We did not know any of this until the last few decades. So, my best guess is that my great grandmother was around 18-20 years old in this photo. If she died more or less around 1918, while still a young mother, I’m guessing that this photo was taken around 10-15 years before her death. She was in a very small village (not Budapest by any means) so I can’t get any records of her date of birth, death etc. This is the best that I can do.[/QUOTE]
