Anna Veres was born around 1878.  She left her home in Janok, Hungary, and traveled on the S.S. Werkendam -- arriving in June, 1898.  She resided in the home of her brother Joseph for about a year.  Her whereabouts are unknown after that.

Maria Veres (the third daughter with this name) was born on August 27, 1876, in Janok, Hungary.  She immigrated to the U.S. some time in the late 1890s and lived in the home of her brother Joseph.  She married John Borosky around 1899. 

Their daughter Teresa was born in Detroit in April of 1900 and she died at about age 9.  They also had a daughter named Margit who was born in Toledo in September 1901, who died as an infant.  Other children that were also born in Toledo include:  John (1903), Alexander (1905), Edward/Imre (1907), and Jolan "Lola" (1910).
