I'm also researching a Farkas family from Bodony.My wife's grandmother, Elizabeth emigrated from Bodony in 1913 with her brothers Joseph, Julius, Steven and Ignace, and her mother Katalin.(I use the Americanized versions of their names, which they all did after emigration)I'm still searching for the father's first name--he evidently emigrated earlier than the rest of the family.Look at the Ellis Island website--there are lots of Farkas' from Bodony listed, although I've seen the town spelled "Bodony", "Bradony", "Badony", and "Bodany".I found the entire family (save the father) and the ship and date of entry into the US.It also confirmed for me the name of the town they came from.I had heard my wife's grandmother say it, but never asked her to spell it.
This branch of the Farkas family settled in Toledo, OH.My wife's grandmother moved to South Bend, IN after she married.
