My name is John, the son of the great James Louis Gyorke and the nephew of Louis James Gyorke and Anna Marianne Gyorke Lakota. Grandparents Louis (Lajos) Gyorke/Anna Ritlop, Great grandparents József Györke/Julianna Csanádi, and great-great-grandparents József Györke/Erzsébet Tóthpál.

My paternal side is Hungarian (Györke/Csanádi/Ritlop)

My maternal side is German (Mueller/Müller, Krueger, Benz, Kanz, Kuhlin) - I have hundreds of cousins. Most would be direct descendants of my 3rd great-grandfather Ferdinand Benz 1816-1894. Most of those people lived in Shawano County, Wisconsin area and had a lot of children because they were farmers.

I have been doing ancestry for roughly 18 years and love being able to contribute in any way that I can here on Find A Grave and FamilySearch.
