Balind Borsodi's census records indicate that he came to America in 1903-1904. His wife, Gizella 30, and their children "Bala" [Bela, aka Bill] 8, "Wilmos" [aka William] 3, and "Maria" [aka Mary] 1, from Osli, Hungary, arrived in New York on 9/6/1904 aboard the "S. S. Zeeland" which had sailed from Antwerp. They were coming to see their husband and father, Balind Borsodi, in South Bend, Indiana.

Balind Borsodi was naturalized in the St. Joseph County, Indiana, Circuit Court on 9/6/1912. The index card states that he was born in Hungary on "11/29/1869".-familysearch.org
The federal censuses of South Bend recorded the family living at 709 Kendall Street in 1910 and 1920. Balind was a laborer at a machine shop in 1910 and at a wagon works in 1920. He and Gizella had married about 1894. In addition to the children born in Hungary, they had Rose (1905), Nicholas (1906), Joseph (1908-1908), Joseph (1909), Michael (1911), Anna (1914), and John (1916-1916). (Years of births added from the full dates of births in the St. Stephen's Catholic Church records as transcribed in the previously cited "Hungarian Immigrant Collection".)
Gizella died in 1918 and was interred in Cedar Grove Cemetery. In 1923, Balind married Teresa De Toscana, nee Lendter (or, from her next marriage record, nee Lengel). Balind died in 1926 and was buried next to his first wife. (His obituary does not say where he died, and to date, his name has not been found in the post-1920 city directories for South Bend.) In 1928, Teresa Borsodi married Andrew Kormos. When Teresa died in 1936, she was buried next to Balind Borsodi.
