Grandpa,
Vilmos Böhm b. June 26, 1884 in
Fehértemplom, Hungary to Anton Wollek and Maria Sojmo.
I have been told me Vilmos was raised by his Uncle Peter Böhm & Aunt
Anna Wollek. I don't know if he was officially adopted or if he
just changed his name. After he came to Cincinnati he did change
his name to William Boehm,
where he died June 1947. Grandpa Vilmos 'was' Catholic, but
left the church. Grandma was Calvinist and baptized in the
Calvinist church.
My Uncle Willi recalls Grandpa Vilmos served in the
Austro-Hungarian Army and he was a NCO in a horse-drawn artillery unit,
stationed in Széged, Hungary. Willi said Grandpa Vilmos and Uncle Paul
Repasy (yep, same one as Debbie's grandfather lived with) talked about Pécs,
Arád, Széged and Témésvár. Pál Répásy was married to my great aunt, Eszter Bondár. Because of the Répásy/Katzler connection, Debbie Burns
thinks we might be related since families seemed to stick together.
Willi said Grandpa Vilmos owned his own
cabinet making shop located at 2009 Elm St., Cincinnati, until abt
1946, when he sold it. He was a member of the Herwegh Manner
Choir, a singing society and was the Financial Secretary of the
Working Men's Sick and Death Benefit, an insurance group. He was a
route salesman for the Wetterer Brewery in Cinn. He was
naturalized March 16, 1915 in Cinti. That's all I know about him.

-
Unknown Wollek (married to my grandmother,
died of TB and then she married my grandfather)
-

Anton had a sister named Maria Wollek . I
am assuming the Anna Wollek that raised my grandfather is
related to him in some way, but I don't know.
I have the death certificate for
Anton Wollek/Maria
Sojmo; Julianna (nee Nagy) Bondár, her son
Gábor Bondár.
My grandmother was Marie (nee Bondár)
Boehm. I
have her baptismal certificate from Békés and the marriage
certificate from Fehértemplom.
One of the ladies on the Yahoo Ohio Genealogy Group
located a 1920 US Census for Grandpa spelled Beohm, of German/Hung.
origin. Listed also was his wife and all their children.

I have a ancestry file at the LDS site,
under Bondar, without the umlauts. You will see Eszter or first
followed by the rest of the family. I believe it's under the Pedigree
file.
