The hometown is necessary when looking for records. This looks like Rozina in the tree: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LZ4Z-3P9
If so, it says she was christened in Árokszállás, Vas, Hungary, on 14 July 1890. Her baptismal record is now attached under the "Sources" heading on her page (I saw it show up as a hint and attached it). Her brother Karoly's birth is litsed on image 302.
To learn more about her family, browse through the baptismal records looking for additional children of her parents; a quicker way to browse is looking for children born at the same residence (unless they moved), which is listed in the first column on the right-hand page. Once there are no more children, look for the parents' marriage record starting from the first legitimate child's birth.
FamilySearch has records for the Roman Catholic parish of Árokszállás for 1828-1895 as well as civil registration records of Árokszállás for 1907-1920 (marriages and deaths apparently from 1895; see linked).

Thank you. I remember my grandmother getting letters and they said the return address was Hungary. When I asked my grandmother about it, she told me she had family from"The Old Country". I did find that my grandmother's father came over to the United States and found out where he is buried. Can't find anything about her mom. My grandfather's name was Schutzenhofer. I'm not too computer savvy. I'll try that. Thank you
