The Somodi Family from Hungary ~ came to Ireland in the period 1958-1960. Help me find them!

1955
After the Hungarian Revolution, many refugees spread out over Europe. Some of these children were placed with the Irish Red Cross in the west of Ireland. My mother Joan McMahon brought a young girl home to live with us in Ardee in 1957. She was 2. Her name was Koti Somodi. Koti, second from right in this photo taken in England in 1965 - 1967 with her stepmother and two siblings. In 1958, her father Janos Somodi (Somody) reclaimed her and they moved to England, near London - where he worked with Lucas the electrical company. He was an industrial / electrical engineer. He had a sister called Teriki (Terika). He was originally from Budapest - perhaps Goya. We lost track of them after that. It is possible they moved back to Hungary after 1965 when his mother died. If you have any suggestions on how we might find them, send me an email: |
