Searching for ancestry or relatives of my father, PETER BALLAUER born 27 Jan 1890 in Gyertyamos, Hungary. This town is now located in Romania. The 1910 & 1920 Federal Census of Chicago, IL indicates he immigrated to USA in 1907 and he was 20/30 years old, respectfully. Passenger Lists of KASIER WILHELM II states he was from the town of GYERTYAAMOS, HUNGARY and arrived in NEW YORK on 17 Nov 1907 at the age of 17 with a destination of Cincinnati, OH. He was a piano mover by trade until his injury in 1924. He married my mother, HELEN (MARY ELLEN BURKE) MULDOWNEY, formerly of Gortamarle, County Roscommon, Ireland on 8 Apr 1931 in CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. PETER died in KANKAKEE County (Manteno), ILLINOIS on 6 Jan 1957. I barely knew this man.
