Jibou and Gherla, Romania

My research is taking me to the "hometowns" of my maternal grandfather and grandmother in June.  I know that Gherla was the home of Mary Lazar, but it was more difficult to find Zibou, which was actually in Hungary when George Zorgo was born there.  The border changes make this confusing to me, but I have found this little town of Jibou in the northwest corner of Romania - an area that was Hungary for a number of years.  I am hoping to take the little bit of family tree to that little town and ask around (in my wonderful Romanian - or perhaps my even lesser wonderful Hungarian!).
