"Dritte Tochter Breindl verheiratet an Schulman in Promontor, haben einen Sohn Bajes, und zwei Tochter in New York namens Rosa und Ilka."
Third daughter Breindl [Bertha] married to Schulman in Promontor[Budafok] have a son Bajes[Lajos], and two daughter in New York named Rosa and Ilka. {Rosa wasn't in NY]
Wikipedia- Budafok (German: Promontor; literally "Promontory near Buda, or Buda Point") is a neighbourhood in Budafok, Budapest XXII. kerület, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, Hungary . It is situated in the southwestern part of Buda, near the Danube, and belongs to District XXII. Budafok was an independent municipality before 1950. The village was known for wine and champagne making.
-Their childhood home was- Hosszúhegy ú. 6 szám (P.m.), Budafok (XXII. kerület)
-My mother says that her mother told her that she went to a Catholic school.
- My grandmother told my mother that she had to "go across the river on a chain bridge (toll bridge) to get to her grandmother's house", (to Csepel?) ( Szenyi Chain-bridge?), about 8 miles, she was afraid of the gypsies by the bridge. She didn't say at what age she used to do this. My grandmother came to the US in 1909, so she was under 15 at that time, I don't imagine she was too much younger. OR it could have been her Schulmann grandmother. I've been looking for "chain" bridges in the Budafok vicinity, possibly not in existence today, may have been destroyed during/after WWI/WWII.
--Per Gail: Grandma Bonner (this is how we knew her) lit candles on the anniversary of her parents deaths. [Yortzeit candles].
--Grandma Bonner wrote to her family in Hungary in German. My mother remembers this because she and your mom added some things for their cousin on the letters. She worked for a Jewish family as a cook when she first came to the US so she did make a lot of traditionally Jewish dishes like stuffed derma. She also made the girls a snack with warm milk a little coffee, sugar and crumbled matzo kind of like a pudding.
-She came to US from Hungary in 1909 on the Caronia, second class with her sister's passport. My mother remembers her saying that there was a fire in one of the cabins and the trip took 24 days.
-My mom remembers Drechsler relatives in the Bronx who owned a deli, they went to Hungary to visit in the 1930's

Two Cunards At Once
Lusitania Made A Sunday Boat By Sea Mishaps
Coronia Got to the Hook Just Ahead of Her and They Were Anchored In Company All Saturday Night-Caronia Brought Wives of Naval Officers
The Cunarder Lusitania which holds the record from Queenstown to this port was a Sunday ship because of mishaps of the sea. Although her passengers could see the glow of the city's lights from the point off the Hook where she anchored on Saturday night they did not land until yesterday morning. Under the Government regulations liners cannot use the Ambrose channel after sunset and the commander of the Lusitania, Capt. Turner would not venture up the winding ship channel in the dark.
The big turbine did not have enough coal aboard when she departed from Liverpool so the line's representatives at Queenstown were notified to have 600 tons ready in a barge to go alongside when she got there. The trip down the the Mersey was tumultuous and the Lusitania
found the seas off Queenstown too high to permit her to take on passengers. She anchored over night and on Monday afternoon received her mails, passengers and coal.
The seas were still heavy and the chain cable of one of her bowers parted while she was coaling. She headed offshore and kept moving until she could return to the barge and take on the rest of
the coal. She left on the bottom the big anchor that could not hold her.
In the nautical day between noon on Wednesday and noon on Thursday she got the worst lambasting that the wild Atlantic gave her on the several very stormy days of the trip. She shipped a comber over starboard bow which carried away a section of the weather rail forward.
In the middle of the riot a baby was born in the steerage and christened Samuel Cunard Kelly. The storm was too much for the little chap and he died the next day and was buried at sea.
A few hours before the Lusitania anchored off the Ambrose Channel lightship the Cunarder Caronia, from the Mediterranean, came up within sight of her, and the ships were in company all night at anchorage. Joseph Lancaster, who is the purser of the Lusitania, called up his son, who is assistant purser of the Caronia, and they swapped wireless family greetings. Both ships anchored in Quarantine together yesterday morning, the Caronia preceding the Lusitania by a few lengths up the Ambrose Channel. It was said that it was the first time in the history of the line that two of its ships have entered the port of New York together.
While the Caronia was at Fiume on a previous voyage Capt. Dow and First Officer Palfrey and seamen of the liner put out a fire aboard the Austrian steamship Voorwaarts, which was moored near the Caronia. Capt Dow put the ship's searchlight on the burning vessel and his men under First Officer Palfrey played hose on the fire, going into the smothering smoke in the hold. When the Caronia stopped at Fiume on the trip hither representatives of the Austrian Lloyds Navigation Company, which owns the Voorwaarts, gave Capt. Dow and First Officer Palfrey gold watches.
The Caronia sailed from Gibraltar on February 5, the day before the American battleships headed for Newport News.

BRINGS HOME TOURISTS.
Wives of Several Fleet Officers Also
Come in on Caronia.
The Cunard liner Caronia, which cleared Gibraltar on February 5, a day ahead of the American fleet, arrived here yesterday with a large party of returning tourists from the Mediterranean and the wives of several officers of the returning fleet.
When the Caronia arrived off Gibraltar Captain Dow, who is a commander of the Royal Naval Reserve, was treated with all the courtesy of a British naval officer, and exchanged visits with the commanders of the American, Russian and British fleets. As the Caronia had twentyfour-hour start on the feet she was not in wire less communication with any of the war vessels.
Shortly after sunset on Saturday, when the Caronia came up to Quarantine, she got in wireless communicatioa with the Lusitania, and several messages were exchanged between Joseph Lancaster, purser on the Lusitania, and his son Gordon, who is an assistant purser on the Caronia. The vessels came up the bay together yesterday, and it was the first time in many years that the Cunard Line has had two of its large steamers docking simultaneously.
While in the harbor of Fiume, in December of last year, Captain Dow and his chief officer, Mr. Palfrey, succeeded in putting out a big fire on the Austrian steamer Vorwaerts, which was tied up at an adjacent pier. In recognition of the service the Austrian Lloyd Steamship Company presented gold watches to Captain Dow and his chief officer on their return to Fiume.
She said that her sister Gisela went back to Hungary in 1921(?).
My mother also remembers the name, Breitenbach- friends or cousins in NJ-Policeman.
Drexler deli- Fordham Rd.
She referred to a cousin in NYC- "Tante Ida Schmidt" who was Austrian and was married to John Schmidt, a baker; they had a son, Walter Schmidt. In 1917 ship manifest, her sister, Betti Gizella, was going to cousin's- Mrs. John Schmidt, 242 E.77th St.

The Cunard Coronia (1905 - 1932) became the Caribia after her Cunard service was completed.
Cost of one way steerage passage from Europe to America at the turn of the century was about US $10.00.
The Coronia was the Carmania's sister-ship and was the first to be turned into an armored merchant cruiser armed with 4.7 inch guns. On the 19th August 1914 she captured the German ship Odessa carrying a cargo of nitrate. In August 1916 she was repaired and given back to the Cunard Line. Both ships survived the war and in June 1919 the Coronia was returned to Cunard.
Before Cunard's giant ships were built, two others of identical size at 650 feet (Coronia and Carmania) were fitted, respectively, with quadruple-expansion piston engines and a steam-turbine engine so that a test comparison could be made; the turbine-powered Carmania was nearly a knot faster.
Budapest-
Erzsébetváros is the seventh district of Budapest, situated on the Pest side of the Danube. It has a reputation for being an artisan area and still has many places for musicians and craftsmen. The inner half of the district is home to the historic Jewish quarter of Pest, which was the last walled Jewish ghetto in Europe. The Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest functioning Jewish temple in Europe, is located in this district.
