Has anyone every heard of this town and the NAME of FURO:

I know that the definition of the word is DRILL or DRILLING in Hungarian
plus it is an informal way of saying (intercourse). Is there any
listing in phone books or directories of teh name Furo in Southwestern
Hungary.

Tonight I received an email from a person who thinks we maybe related
from 4-5 generations back but I can not put even two and two together
when it come to geography this evening looking for a hand to help me
decipher the information I received. I will type it as is then make a
couple of comments to help triangulate my questions

Istvan Furo who lives in Sweden and whose family presently lives in
Hungary.:
Now, my grandfather's father (Furo1, for simplicity) was working for the
Hungarian railways at around the end of the last century. He was then
stationed in Zagred in Croatia where my grandfather and his brother were
born in 1898 and 1900. Furo 1 was oringally from a small city CSURGO,
again in southwestern Hungary. However, my grandmother told me a few
times that the parents of Furo ! were coming from Backsa which is the
neibbouting area to Banat. So, it might very well be that we are
connected at a branching point 4-5 generations back.

Does anyone know where CSURGO is or what county of Hungary it was in?
Any records exist for this area and was it in Backsa and how does this
area relate to Banat if any?

I am confused as all get out

David
