Family History of Joseph and Irma Farkas

As remembered by their grand daughter, Marie Curtis (Farkas)

My name is Marie Curtis (Farkas) and I was wondering if you can give me some information on where to start to find out some information about my father's side of our family, or post to your website if anyone remembers my family and can share some memories.  As I look through the names, places and families, most of them are so familiar to me, the names bring back so many memories and stories told by my grandpa, dad and aunts and uncles.  Everywhere we would go it seemed my dad would know someone from the old neighborhood.  I wish I would have found this website before my dad's death at age 93.
