I am researching James Eugene FINCH, born 7 Jul 1894, in Alexandria, Virgina. He married Vera Elanor MARSHALL, born 16 Sep 1905, in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, on 3 Jul 1924 in San Francisco, California.
James' father was Taylor FINCH who was married to Alice GALLAHAN. Their origins are perhaps the Virginias from the mid 1800s.
Vera's father was Thomas William MARSHALL, born between 1864-70 in Cleveland, Ohio. He married Blanche Victoria TAYLOR, born 17 Jan 1881, in Findlay, Hancock, Ohio, about 1901, probably in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon.
Some surnames from this search include: BARHEIT, BARHEYT, BRADT, BRATT, DAVID, DU TRIEUX, DU CHESNE, ESCHWEIN, FINCH, GALLAHAN, GERRITSE, GILBERT, HAMILTON, HEEMSTRAAT, MARSELIS, MARSHALL, MOSHER, MOSIER, MUSIER, NOIRETT, PRICE, POOTMAN, PUTMAN, RYERSE, SWART, TAYLOR, TRUAX, VAN EPS, VIELE, VON VORST, WALDRON, WILL, and others.

I am also researching William Authur BELITS, born 25 Feb 1895, in NYC, Bronx, NY. He married Anna BALAZS, born 3 Apr 1900, in Ungwar, Hungary, on 14 Apr 1917, in NYC, Bronx, NY.
William's father was Paul BELITS, born on 8 Sep 1857, in Hungary. He married Sadonia HARVAT, born May 1865, in Hungary, before 1895, in possibly NY or Cleveland, Ohio.
Anna's father was Francis BALAZS, born 30 May 1865, as Franciscus Eugenious BALAZSY, in Bereguifalu, Hungary. He married Anna SZECH, born about 1865 in Ungwar, Hungary, about 1886, in Ungwar, Hungary.
Anna emmigrated to the US through Ellis Island around 1904. By the time Francis and their three surviving children arrived in the US around 1905, Anna had died. Francis married his second wife, Elizabeth, born in 1875, in Hungary, in Jan 1910, in probably Long Island, NY.
Francis and Anna had four children: Bela (Willliam), Maria (May), Pauline (who died at 3 months of age), and Anna (my grandmother).
Francis and Elizabeth had one child: Margaret, born in 1911.
Some surnames from this search include: BALAZS, BALAZSI, BALAZSY, BELITS, BOSZIN, HARVAT, ROSSLER, SZECH, and hopefully others in the future.
