Hello Jack,

I'm questioning your information on the name Kovacs. Where did you get
your information? My grandmother came to the US around 1906, I think, and
her first husband was John Kovacs. Their only child was my father,
Joe. I've always been told that Kovacs in Hungarian means blacksmith. I
think the name is much older than what you said.

Regards, Joe Kovacs
