Is anybody looking up there Family, now digging up the tree in the backyard doesn't count and it's not very nice neither. Well, just to let you know I have various branches of family traced back pretty far. Well first of all I will tell you about my Great-Great-Grandfather Dr. Ede Szenger he was a Physician/Surgeon from Hungary and he lived in Mexico from 1866-1876 well in !867 he had a son with his wife I presume and he would be my Great-Grandfather Josef Szenger. Okay the thing I don't know is what was his mother's name. Well, this Josef Szenger is a fascinating Case study you see he was served World War I for Germany and he was I think maybe a fighter pilot. Now there is my Grandfather and he was a Merchant Marine and apparently he did something in his younger days in Harlan County, Kentucky and he had to get the heck out of there. I have no idea what he could done there now. Because I have no idea why Harlen County is so famous now.

Check out Harlan County at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlan_County,_Kentucky and check this county for yourself.

Harlan County isn't very far from Hazard, Kentucky. Just thought that was intiresting considering....lol

I've drove through Hazard on the highway but Hazard has some intersecting tourist attractions.

So I could've had relatives that were coal miners as well then. When was the Harlan County Wars?

well the only thing i can say is probably back around ww1 or ww2 or maybe the civil war, i cant remember. but yea if youve got family from harlan county more than likely they were coal miners.

I have found that my mom is part Romanian and that her Great-Grandmother's name was Minna A. Morganeyer or Morganmeyer and that her Great-Grandfather's name was actually Chaim Kurz and that they had a four years old when they came to America named Matilde.

I found some information about my Great-Great Grandfather Dr. Ede Szenger I found he wrote this book called "The Professor and Surgeon of The Hungarian and Mexican Univeristies" back in 1877.
