Hi Martin,

Paul Nyida and Elizabeth Malarik were my great, great grandparents.

Jorose mentioned Rose Fasang—my great grandmother. I have a record of her baptism which lists both Paul and Elizabeth as Rose's parents—indeed from Kesztölc, as Jorose found. Things begin to get a little confusing with this Joseph individual; Rose's husband was also named Joseph, so distinguishing between her husband and her younger brother(?) in my records is difficult.

In any case, I have some documents (from as far back as the late 1800's) which detail information about my family. I haven't yet translated them all to English from their original Hungarian and French. I'd be happy to share any additional information I can find if it proves relevant.

I'm curious about your relationship with Joseph—are you related to him?

Kind regards,

S. Fasang

Hi S. Fasang,

Thank you for your reply. Joseph is not my ancestor, but he is my great-great-granduncle. He married Marie Goaziou, my great-great-grandfather's sister.

For that reason, I would only be interested in the record of his baptism if you have it or can find it.

Best regards,

Martin

Good morning,

Could someone help me find the birth and the baptism record of Joseph Nyislow Nyida please? All I know is that he was born on March 25th 1907 (according to hi tombstone) in Hungary. He is the son of Paul Nyida and Elizabeth Malarik.

Hi Kloumann,

Thanks again for the obituary.

This may not be true. IF her parents registered her birth at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in Japan, or did so later in the U.S., then there would be a record. The registration may not have been done just after she was born- my three children were in primary school when there births were registered. I can't remember exactly what documentation I needed but I do know I had to bring their U.K. birth certificates, my marriage certificate and birth certificate as well as my U.S. Passport (at that time children could be put on a parent's passport) as well as their father's passport (which they were on), his birth certificate. Also, both parents had to appear at the consulate when we submitted the application.

Hi aghadowey,

Thank you for the information, I will ask her if she tried with the embassy and the consulate. I only know that the children were baptised in South Dakota, but I don't know if Joseph and Miyo were married in a church in Okinawa.

Best regards,

Martin

Hello everyone,

Could someone help me find some church and vital records of the family of Joseph James Gayette please? Joseph James Gayette is a WWII veteran from the US Merchant Marines who married Miyo Higa, a Japanese lady born in Peru, in Okinawa.

I am looking for:

- the marriage record of Joseph James Gayette, son of Joseph Goyette and Mary Chartrand, and Miyo Higa, daughter of Eiaso Higa and Chiyo Yoga, married between 1946 and 1948 in Okinawa. I am unsure of the date, I have found two dates which are January 17th 1946 and January 18th 1948.

- the birth record of Andrew Joseph Gayette, their son, born on March 21st 1954 in Okinawa.

For the church records, it would either be in a catholic or a protestant church if there are any.

Best regards,

Martin
