Update on information:
I am researching the following names Christ, Kriszt, Limberger, Fisher,
Minch, Yekel and Hok. Most are out of Mekenyes, in Baranya Megye Hungary.
Below is more information on the families:

Arrived NY, USA on April 12 or 13, 1909

Parents:
John Jonas Christ (was deceased by 1918)

Katharine Limberger (was deceased by 1918)

First Wife:
Elizabeth Fisher Kriszt or Christ
born: Dec 18, 1877

Arriving with Elizabeth were their two children:

Elisabeth Christ

Anna Marie Yekel
Marriage Record to Conrad Christ
but she was married before and divorced on Feb 14, 1918
due to desertion, no name given for her first husband but family believes it
might have been Hoffman
Anyone got any clues on these family names? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
