Hungarian grandfather from Ugocsa County Austria-Hungary Empire now Ukraine Zakarpattia Oblast
Is anyone doing research in Ukraine Zakarpattia Oblast? My Hungarian grandfather Mihaly Bilcze was born 1882-1884 and raised in the villages of Verőcze (Веряця) or Királyháza (Кіральгаза, now Королево). At that time, the area was Ugocsa County Austria-Hungary Empire
I am researching my Bilcze surname. I am having difficulty finding genealogy records or people I can contact. My grandfather Mihaly Bilcze migrated to the USA Alliance Ohio area in 1900-1901. His brother Lazidlo Bilcze came later to the USA.
He and his brother identified as a Hungarian however the surname may be Ukrainian, Rusyn or Slavic. From information I received from Reddit, my family name (Bilcze (Cyrillic: Більце ) is still found in the Verőcze (Веряця) or Királyháza (Кіральгаза, now Королево areas.
Perhaps you may be from the area or may know someone there. I would like to get at least some names or some sort of contact information to move my search forward. Thanks in advance.
