Just starting research, Kovacs or Kovach
I am trying to find information about my grandparents' families.This is what I know.
My grandfather's family was from Budapest.His name was Paul Kovacs (later changed to Kovach in the states), and I think his father's name was Jozeph.I know that before the Russians invaded the family had an office supply type store (my father says it was mostly typewriters).I believe my grandfather was an only child.
