Trugoschitz

This name is from Jim's father's side. John Trugoschitz came over from Hungary/Romania. He was born 18 January 1881 and died 11 April 1941. He was Jim's Great Grandfather. His wife's name was Margaret Meyer. She was born 30 August 1882 and died 18 November 1926. She was from Romania too. Her parents were John Meyer and Margaret Kehl. Both are buried in at St. Joseph's Cemetery in River Grove, Cook County, IL. Pretty much Chicago. They had 4 children; John, Fredrick, Margaret and Pauline. The name was changed by Jim's grandfather, Fred. The family story was that his grandmother refused to marry him unless he changed the name. John Jr. changed his name too. Some records say Hanz, but they just maybe how he said his first name. Really would like to find out more about John Sr.'s parents. There can't be that many people reseaching this name.
