Deak Family from Tenke, Romania

Our family came to America in 1910 from Tenke, Roumania. They were Joseph and Elizabeth Deak, and they had 2 children also named Elizabeth and Joseph. The child Joseph was my grandfather and was 4 years old when they arrived. He was born Dec. 24th, 1906. Shortly after arriving in America, I believed Joseph and Elizabeth divorced. Elizabeth then married Charles Koteles and resided in Elgin, Illinois until her death. If any of this sounds like a link, please email me! I don't know anything about Tenke, but my grandfather wrote that on his SS application. I would love to gain any knowledge about that area that may help my search on the Deak's, Thank you very much!
