In that particular emigration list, Janos is listed as age 46, and travelling alone, arriving into Montreal. Left Hamburg on 11 May 1895, last of Elilizallos(??), Hungary. Aboard the steamship Hispania.
Rosalie and the kids arrived the folloiwng year, from a village which I cannot read. Left Hamburg on the Christiania on 11 April 1896.
Since you know what ship they travelled on, you can obtain the microfilms on inter-library loan from Library & Archives Canada:

It should tell you where they were headed.

Three men who had been neighbors in the Dunafoldvar region of central Hungary -- John Kerik, John Meister & John Mraz -- left their homeland in 1895 and established adjacent homesteads in this newly opened section of the province.

I did not get acquainted with many (Hungarians). I knew Mr. Kerik, father of Tommy, Mike Felt's family. I happened to go to Calgary once, and Mik had his mother and sisters on the train seeing them off to the States. The father had gone there before. I travelled with them as far as Calgary.
From the WWI Attestation papers (available online through Library & Archives Canada):
Thomas Arthur Kerik, of Bashaw, Albert, a defaulter under the Military Service Act (ie, didn't sign up for the draft), b. 9 February 1897 in Bashaw, Alberta; single, Catholic, farmer, next of kin given as Mr. John Kerik, father, of Bashaw, Alberta; dated 15 July 1918 in Calgary.
Henry Kerik, of Bashaw, Alberta, defaulter, b. 2 October 1893, Austria Hungary, single, Catholic, farmer, next of kin, John Kerik, father, of Bashaw, Alberta; dated 23 May 1918 in Calgary.
So, I definitely think you have the right crowd here arriving on those two different ships. Someone on this list will be better able to read the names of the places they were from.
