Hallo! Ich habe viele weitere Informationen gefunden, die letztendlich helfen sollten, ebenso wie die Durchführung eines DNA-Tests. Mein
Sein Großvater Sam Horvath wurde 1920 in Kotoriba geboren, sein Bruder Michael 1913 ebenfalls in Kotoriba. Ihr Vater war Blaz Horvath und wurde 1882 in Zagreb geboren und in Jászapáti, Ungarn, getauft. Ihre Mutter war Emilia/Amellia (Ujlaki) Horvath, geboren 1884 in Zagreb. Blaz hatte einen Bruder namens Istvan Aswell. Die ganze Familie (Sam, Michael, Blaz, Amelia) verließ das Land im Jahr 1921. Ich glaube, wenn nicht nur Blaz, dann ein paar Jahre später die andere. Wenn jemand jemanden kennt, insbesondere mit dem Nachnamen Ujlaki, könnte das eine große Hilfe sein! Ich werde auch Bilder posten!

Ujlaki is very common surname in kotoriba today
Based on the surname Ujlaki, it seems that your ancestors are from the part of Croatia called Međimurje, probably town Prelog. The town is close to the Hungarian border, so they are probably half Hungarian, half Croatian.
Horvath is a common surname in Hungary.
Reddit is probably terrible way to research this as posters here are more interested in daily news.
There is a facebook group with people dedicated on helping others on this:

Otherwise, Horvat is the most common surname in Croatia and Slovakia and 2nd most popular in Slovenia, 5th most popular in Hungary.
It comes from the word Hrvat which means Croatian.

But go to that Croatian facebook group and you will find some help.
Ujlaki means Newly Settled, similar to Croatian Novosel. Since Međimurje was part of the Kingdom of Hungary for most of its history, immigrants would get that family name, and they were not necessarily Hungarian by ethnicity. Also, Horváth often means „a person that came from the area between rivers Sava and Drava“, not necessarily a Croat.
