Researching: IMRE
How is the Slovakian name of Imre pronounced in English? Also, what is the Slovakian pronounciation of the given names Ernest or Ernie and Susan? It would be nice if there was a list of first names that could be translated to Czech, Slovak and Magyar. When our ancestors came to America, many took the English spelling of their names and some also changed spellings.
