Jamie's Paternal Grandmother's family is Hungarian Gypsy. Her Grandmother's maiden name is Irene Bero. Irene's father's name is Gilbert Bero who married a Judith Docs. This is my brick wall at the moment.

So far I have been most successful with Judith Docs. I have learned that in Hungarian, "J" and "Y" are interchangeable. And Hungarians do not have the "th" combination. So her name, very well could have been Judit or Yudit. Now, I have found a 1920 US Census that references a "Yucsi", as well as the Ellis Island Passenger Documents for this family from Dombrad Hungary, and I am trying to find out if "Yucsi/Jucsi" is a diminutive of Yudit. If it is and I can prove it, then I will have Judith's parent's names.

Unfortunately, Gilbert Bero is proving very hard to track down. He emigrated from Hungary in 1903 according to the 1910 US Census I found. However, I have been unsuccessful in locating his arrival documents. I found from his World War I Registration card that he was born in Szekely, Szabolcs, Hungary. I have also not come across anything that mentions his parents names.
