Wow. I never knew that about my own family! Thanks a million.

What you say makes sense to me because my family lived in Hungary for generations before they came to the U.S. in the early 20th c. (one of my ancestors was a driver for an Esterhazy duke), so the name could have come from a much earlier migration. And the only branch of my family that held onto the "haraj" spelling was, in fact, Slovak: i.e., Hungarians who lived in what was then Czechoslovakia. So they may have had more reason to want to hang onto the Slovak spelling. You have given me a lot to think about. Thank you again!
