Researching : KOI - KOY - KOYI - KOJI - KALMAN - HALMI - NEJBAUER ------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE THAT MY ROOTS WEB DATABASE GEDCOM FILE ON WORLD CONNECT PROJECT IS ALWAYS BEING UPDATED. YOU MAY E-MAIL ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. TO ACCESS THE DATABASE, REFER TO THE LINK BELOW. THANK YOU. ------------------------------------------------------- Note that the KOI or KOY name was originally KOJI in Hungary. ------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for information on Gaspar Koi (b.7/1/1890 in Hungary, d.11/3/1934,Ohio). It is believed that he had two brothers named Andrew and Benjiman (KOI or KOY), although it is said that Gaspar came to America from Hungary, after deserting the Hungarian army. Gaspar married Barbara Merle Halmi in Whitewood, Sask., Canada(Bekevar Presbyterian Church) on 2/12/1919. Note that Barbara was listed as "Merle' on a 1916 Sask. census. They both moved from Canada to Ashtabula County, Ohio 3/25/1924 through port of Detroit (documented). Gaspar died in a tuberculosis sanitorium in McConnelsville, Ohio 11/3/1934. His death certificate states that his fathers name was Ben. A picture also exists of a Frank Koi that is supposed to be Gaspars brother. Also documented is the arrival of Sandor (Alexander) Halmi, wife Barbara, and 3 daughters Barbara, Julia and Alice into Canada 1/10/1911 on vessel 'Montezuma', through port of St. John N.B. Note that the whole Halmi family was mispelled and listed as 'HALIM' on the Canadian passenger list. To further complicate research, his name has also been referenced as HALMY,HOLMI or HOLMY. Also note that the Koi family in Ashtabula County was improperly listed on the 1930 U.S. census as KAI. The name KOI is correct on the enumerators sheet, but transferred to the database index as KAI. There is some evidence that there are some family ties with another Koi family that are descendants of Aaron Koi (b.1/25/1880, d.7/18/1965). This family was in the Grove City, Pa. area. There are also family ties with another Koi family who emigrated from Hungary into Canada (Pal & Barbara Koi), but changed all of the childrens last names to KOY while in Canada. The children of this KOY family are Geza, Gyula, Laci(Leslie), Ethel, Sandor. Members of this Koy family lived in the same area (Kipling, Whitewood, Bekevar) in Saskatchewan, Canada and migrated into the U.S. where some settled in Michigan. Members of both KOI families and the KOY family are seen in various pictures together that I have, although I am looking for the documented family links. Any actual relation between the 3 families (KOY or KOI) at this time appear to be further back into Hungary in Szabolcs county around the Tiszabezded or Fenyes Litke areas under the name KOJI or KOYI. >>> The lineage of the Pal Koi family is not yet compiled or posted online from my database, still a work in progress. <<< It is possible that the father of Gaspar Koi was some type of judge in Hungary, possible dates between 1880 through 1920 (surname possibly being KOYI or KOI). Gaspar Koi was also possibly in the Hungarian army sometime between 1905 through 1915. Also researching 'KALMAN' which is the maiden name of the mother of Barbara Halmi. Barbara Kalman had a brother named John and his wife Lydia, both lived in the Whitewood, Saskatchewan, Canada area. Through 3 generations, the KALMAN name was changed to KOLMAN, then COLEMAN as it is now. ------------------------------------------------------- Refer to the Related URL LINKS below to take you to the RootsWeb World Connect pages for the following families: 1) - Koi Genealogy Database (Gaspar Koi)- The Koi family that was known to migrate from Hungary to Saskatchewan, Canada to Ashtabula, Ohio. 2) - Koi Family History Database (Aron Koi)- The Koi family that was known to settle in the Grove City, PA area. 3) - Tarvainen Family History Database. | |
