Frank (his given name was originally Franz) Abrozi (surname spelled several different ways, another being Ambrozy) was born in modern day Slovakia c. 1874. At the time of his birth, it was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and his area was under the rule of the Hungarians. It is possible that he was born in the village of Lakšárska Nová Ves, although no documentation of this has been found.

Baptismal records showed that he and his wife Barbara Türk had 5 children (Joseph, Elizabeth, Theresa, Ferdinand and Mary) who were all baptized in the village of Lakšárska Nová Ves from 1881 to 1891. The couple was also listed as godparents to 2 sons of Joseph Kubinecz and Elizabeth Jurdak in 1884 and 1890 respectively in the same village (Frank and John Kubinecz). There were no church records found of the marriage of Frank and Barbara, nor definitive records of their baptisms.

Frank's immigration record shows that "Frans Ambroszij" arrived at Ellis Island August 17, 1907 from "Laksar Ujfala," Hungary (village name was Lakšárska Nová Ves spelled in Hungarian), age 43, nationality, "Hungary, Slovak," married. He had left Europe from Rotterdam, Holland on the ship Korea. His departure contact was Barbara Amborzy, wife. His arrival contact was "Michael Klanuk, (Klamik) son-in-law."

Re: the above named Michael Klamik (96273059) this researcher couldn't find a daughter of Frank's married to a Klamik, though the Klamik clan was in Perth Amboy, NJ. Michael Klamik was in Perth Amboy at the time of Frank's arrival (the Klamik family prominent in Lakšárska Nová Ves in baptism records). He was married to Helen Gach (96273071). The Gach family was from Lakšárska Nová Ves per information found via Frank's future son-in-law, (via his daughter Mary), Paul Zsak, who was a first cousin, (through his maternal aunt, Anna Kubinecz Gach), to Catherine Gach Valla and Anna Gach Skalla in Perth Amboy. Whether Frank was related to the the Klamiks or Gachs by blood or marriage is unknown.

Unfortunately, Frank wasn't captured in the 1910 Census.

Sadly, the June 1, 1915 Tuesday edition of the "Perth Amboy Evening Star" newspaper stated that a body found in the sound Friday afternoon was identified as Frank's remains (see article). His son Joseph verified it was his father in the receiving vault of the Alpine Cemetery, Perth Amboy. Joseph stated that his father had been missing since May 22 when he lost his job at a local plant. He felt his father likely threw himself into the sound because of the job loss.

Regarding burial, the news article said "It will be buried today," (June 1).

Alpine Cemetery was contacted and the person said their records did not show a burial for Frank (under various spellings of his name). I was told to try St Mary's Cemetery in the immediate area of Alpine Cemetery. I did, and they had no record of his burial. He's not listed in his church's cemetery, Holy Trinity.

Since Frank's body was in a vault at Alpine Cemetery after being recovered, he's probably interred in that cemetery. As a Roman Catholic, in that era, it is unlikely that permission would have been granted for a burial in a cemetery of that faith due to the circumstances of his death.
