Trisha asked:

Does anyone know where T. Sft. Milela was located in 1904?

Does anyone know what the T. and Sft. mean?

This is probably Turóczszentmihály, which in 1913 was in Turócz county,
Stubnyafürdõi district, and which is now Sococve, Slovakia (see János
Bogárdi's online 1913 Hungarian gazetteer at http://www.bogardi.com/gen/).
It was probably written on the manifest as "T. Szt. Mihály", but the
transcriber was not familiar with the script.

You can find this town on the 1913 Turocz megye map at
http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/turoc.jpg -- it's located at about 48
deg 57 min north by 18 deg 52 min east.

There are Roman Catholic church records for 1690-1951 available on microfilm
from the Family History Library (see their catalog at
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp).

Good luck,
Robert
