KROHN AND PLANICH
I am having trouble finding information about my grandparents. My grandfather was Adam Krohn and my grandmother was Christine Planich. There is a mention of a Peter Planich (I think her father). They lived in Hungary and went to the US in 1908 / 1910.

Without knowing at what age they immigrated, and which side of the pond they got married on, it's hard to know whether I'm even remotely approaching the right ballpark, but there's an Adam Krohn who immigrated in 1908 from Sajkásszentiván (earlier Kovil-Szent-Iván), Bács-Bodrog county, which is now Šajkaš, Serbia (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JXPY-92K). He's 28 years old and his departure contact is his wife (whose name is ever-so-helpfully given as Mrs. Adam Krohn). Does that come close?
Every detail you have can help. I don't think there exists a place and time where it's possible to do genealogy with just names, but Hungary certainly doesn't qualify: the civil registrations mostly aren't online in places that are no longer in Hungary (which is true of fully 2/3 of the pre-1920 country), and while coverage is wider for the church registers, they're still not all online, and none of the record sets are anywhere near fully indexed, on any website.
