I am traveling to Ungerei (Gergeschdorf)(Gergelyfalva) Romania in a few weeks to see my families village. Before WWI the village was in fact part of Hungary, it changed names to ungerei after WWI. I am going to visit all the cemeteries when I am there. I have never seen a Damian surname on pictures of gravestones from Ungerei however. My great-great grandfather and others from the village did list Sharon, PA as a destination on immigration papers however.

Looking for any connections to the Damians in Sharon PA. They originaly came from Ungerei Romania, sometimes mistaken by the census taker as Hungary. They worked in the Tin Mills in Sharon. George (or Joe) Damian's father died in 1916 and his mother Ana Manarazan (later decifered as Morrison) married again, Alex Craciun (decifered as Christian or Christmas) They had one child together Maria and Ana died in 1921. The Damian children (George and Annie) were sent to Romania, and later they (Alex and Maria) returned to Romania where they lived until their deaths. Any info on any of their ancestors or decendant would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I was looking for a relative of mine and found one that may be yours. I have a birth cert from Buffalo dated Jan 28, 1897 for a Julius Damian son of Franc Damian and Anna. Frank is listed as born in Poland and is age 29 and is a laborer. Anna is listed as age 19 and having had one other living child. Is this your relative? I found it because it is so clost to my relative also born on that date in Buffalo to a Frank and Anna Domion. The child's name was Bronas ro Bronaslaw. My Frank was also from Poland. If this is your relative do you want a scan image of the Birth Cert?
