In my search of Ternye, Austria-Hungary, birthplace of my Gosztonyi family, I looked at the other towns or possible towns from which Gosztonyis emigrated.

Ellis Island Records

(Grouped approximately by Residence)

Spelling variants which I deemed were reasonable variants. The first three appear to be my cousins, returning to the U.S. after taking some trips back to Europe. (I cannot identify Maria Gasztony or subsequent people.)
