Looking for 1892 Birth Record / Parents of Ion (John) Cojocar – Ocna Sibiului (Vízakna)
Hello! I am searching for the parents / 1892 birth entry for my ancestor:
Name: Ion / Janos / John Cojocar
Date of Birth: June 15, 1892
Birthplace: Ocna Sibiului (Vízakna), Sibiu County, Romania
Spouse: Maria Bleoca (married Dec 1912 in Ohio, USA)
Does anyone have access to microfilms or parish register photo collections for Ocna Sibiului / Vízakna around 1892? Any guidance on identifying his parents would be greatly appreciated!

In FamilySearch I found in sources attached to:
His Declaration of Intention (the first step in naturalization in 1795-1952) states that John Cocojar was born in Vozacua, Hungary, on 15 June 1892. He sailed from Bremen, Germany, on the vessel Stutcar. His Residence was in Hungary before immigrating to the United States. When searching for Vozacua (with the exact spelling), I don't find anything. It could be an old Hungarian place name or a misspelling. In 1892 Hungary was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Mary Bleoca is listed as his spouse. No marriage date or record is listed or attached in her sources. But the 1930 Census (attached to her sources) states that she was born in Romania.
Is this your family? Perhaps reposting this in the group; https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/13-austro-hungarian-empire-research they can help you understand the history and help pinpoint a more exact location to look for John's parents.
