Hi, I wanted to jump in on this conversation as I was also doing some research on relatives.Betty Bugan is my mother.You have the correct listings for her parents, Raymond and Erma.They were both living in Mt. Bethel in a trailer park upon their deaths, Erma in 1984 and Raymond in 1988.Other than my mother Raymond and Erma had another daughter Shirley Fentzlaff, who passed away in approximately 1975 leaving behind 5 kids, 4 boys and a girl.They also had 5 sons, William, Robert, Raymond Jr, George and Charles (who died at the age of 6). Obviously Robert passed away in 2005 as you noted in the the previous message but no contact has been made with any of the other 3 brothers in several years. Last we had heard Raymond Jr. was in Florida with his wife Mary.He was quite ill and it is unknown if he is still alive.They had two kids, a girl and a boy, Deira and Raymond.William (Bill) was married to Sue and they lived in NJ.I believe they have 3 kids but cannot remember any of their names.Finally, George lived in Pennsylvania.No one has been able to locate him in several years.He does have an ex-wife and 30+ son who still live in the Hackettstown area of NJ.I don't believe even they know where George is. As far as Erma's parents, you are indeed correct, they were Joseph and Mary Fazekas and immigrated from Hungary.Nanny Erma could make some mean Hungary Stew and Kiefles (Hungarian pastries).She did have two brothers John and Frank and two sisters, Helen and Elizabeth.Not sure of any of their decendents.I have no idea about my pappy Raymond Sr.'s family. I cannot even verify him having a sister Elsie as I don't recall it ever being mentioned.
