More About the Havas'


My husband is Kerry Bruce Havas the son of Joe Havas and Myrna Thorp. His father is from Enid Oklahoma. Joe is also Hungarian and 55. Kerry is a software designer specializing in VB with Oracle applications.

We have found out so far that Joe's father's name was Joseph Anthony Havas. We are now going to find his death certificate to see where he was from and who the next of kin was. This will help us track down more information.
If you have any information about Havas' in the world please e-mail me E-mail address: ME
The following are the most current responses:

How very exciting! Several months ago, I pulled a list of the Havas' on AOL, then let it sit. Glad someone has some initiative.
Some questions: Is Joe of Hungarian descent? If so, where was his family from? How old is he?
I live in Salem, Oregon; was born and raised in Oakland, California; am 55, divorced and have four grown children. My parents are from what now is Transylvania - Satu Mare and Zillah. They emigrated to the US through Cuba in the late 20s. My father was with Kaiser Engineers until his death in 1962.
I have lived in Oregon since 1979 and have done many things from raising sheep to working with the state legislature, the Oregon Symphony, State Farm Insurance. Currently I am pursuing my dream to write.
I would love to hear more from you and to know if, in your holiday communications, you found any other Hungarian Havases.

I am from the Detroit area (Troy to be exact). I'm a CS student, as you know, and I am going to ASU this summer where I will be going to school for a masters. My Father (Richard Havas) is a veterinarian in Troy. He is from Midland, MI where his father worked as a chemical engineer for Dow Chemical.
That is about as far back as I can go with the name. My parents don't really talk much about the past. Come to think of it, I have never heard my dad talk about his grandfather, or where he came from or anything. He doesn't seem to know anything. My grandfather died when I was very young so I never got a chance to talk to him. Perhaps it is the same situation with my father. Even my grandmother was never able to tell me about my past before she died.
Anyway, I asked my father what he knew and all he said was this. "Someone told me it means snow in Hungary, and it is a common name out there" I think it may have been a client that came in one day and told him that.
I have some family out in L.A. and San Diego, but as far as I know, my brother(25yr old) and I are the only ones left in the family with the name. My dad's brother went over to Germany when he was young and we haven't seen or heard from him again.
All I can say for sure is that some Havas came over from Europe some time ago, and here I am.

Dear Havas family,
I do not think that we are relatives, but who knows! Havas is a Hungarian word. It means "covered by snow". Has this word a meaning in an other language? I would like to know. I am a philosopher. Are you also or from where have you received my E-mail address?
Please, write me. Katalin.
