Karatcha, Karraga--Listed as German speaking

lannk — 1 Jan 2009 11:42:17 GMT

Hello, My grandfather was born in St. Louis in 1908. The 1910 census lists his parent as Adam and Anna and Aust-German whom migrated in 1907. They were born cir. 1870. My grandfathers birth record says they were Russian. My gf visited Europe and upon returning in 1928(after WWI) listed his parent as Yugoslavian. Do any of these names look familiar? They had a daughter named Milwa. Is that a regional name? What areas of Austro-Hungary spoke German? I never knew my gf or any of his family, but my grandmother thought they were Romanian or Gypsy?? I can not find any immigration records for them coming in or nothing in the 1920 census. Any help ????

JÁNOS GYÖRGY - Bakony-Magyar Kiraly

JFriedman7947 — 15 Dec 2008 9:28:55 GMT

While researching my ancestors from Hungary, I came across a marriage entry that perplexes me. First cousin 4x removed Erszebet Stotz married JÁNOS GYÖRGY. Written under his name where the residence was normally written was the following: Bakony-Magyar Király. It seems to be a place, but I can't find it on a map. It should be close to Pusztavam (Ondod), because that is where the records are from. Anyone have any ideas of where this is?

Dol, Austria? Yugoslavia?

hodagmike — 9 Dec 2008 7:45:36 GMT

I am researching an ancestor Martin Zalokar who was born Oct 31, 1882. I just got his naturalization papers today and it said he was born in Dol, Austria. I am unable to find this city anywhere. I know it was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so it might not be "Austria" anymore. I always heard from family that he was from Yugoslavia, so that might have been where it is. If anybody can help me track down this location I would appreciate it!

Ruthenian military service in Austro-Hungarian Army

Garberasearch — 10 Dec 2008 9:31:13 GMT

I have read that young men were required to register for military service in the January of the year they turned 19 years of age. Does anyone know if this was just a draft list from which men were called to up to serve. How long was an enlistment for the Ruthenians? Were they stationed close to home in Rusyn speaking areas?

Anyone heard of the surname Presenz?

petramartin67 — 2 Dec 2008 11:53:44 GMT

Need some help with my family name Presence, which in the generation before my father was spelt Presenz. I know that my father's grandfather was born in Vienna in 1871 and had moved with his parents to London by the time he was 10. His father was also born in Vienna, in 1850. Any further back on the Austrian side I can not find anything. Any info much appreciated. Wonder if perhaps they came from further east? Jewish? Have seen some Russian Hebrew Presenz's listed in Ellis Island Records...

Mocsonok (now Močenok)

Bsquared01 — 6 Aug 2008 3:04:28 GMT

My mother's grandparents emigrated to the US from this town in 1907. Their name was Denka. Most of the census entires list their heritage as Hungarian. Is this a Hungarian surname? I am aware of the numerous overlaps of ethnicities in this area of Europe, and that Mocsonok used to be part of Hungary but is now in Slovakia.

Here are the other surnames from Mocsonok we are looking for:

Tvaroška
Otrubná
Fürstenzeller

Fürstenzeller has to be either Austrian or German, so any idea on Denka, Tvaroška, or Otrubná? My mother would like to find out once and for all if she is ethnically Hungarian or Slovakian! Thanks.

Origin of Budacic family in the formery Principality of Poljica

EdeP — 23 Nov 2008 10:19:28 GMT

Hello again,

after long years of further search, I can be more precise, since I ve regognized that may family is descendant of family Budacic (Bodazza, Bodaza, Bodacia, Bodacic(h), Budacich, Bodatia, Bodazia).

Question:
Does anyone know, what the origin of the family with the name Bodazza (aka Bodaza, Bodacia, Bodacic(h), Budacic(h), Bodatia, Bodazia), for which it is known that they have been accepted as nobiles of Poglizza n 1483 (see article 96 of the Statute of Poljica) is?

Background information:
As far as I know a family with this surname existed as nobiles in Ragusa (Dubrovnik) but at least the male members, except Frater Marinus de Bodazza, where killed due to a revolution they failed with.

Possibly some of the family members somehow survived and moved to Poglizza. Maybe with help of Venice, since some of the Bodazza negotiated with Venice as diplomats from Ragusa.

Or do they have a link to the Budacic-Kukara family, who it seems they lived in dalmatian hinterland?

(Another possibility could be that hungarian king Ludovig of Anjou send them as vasalls to Poljica Principality.)

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

EdeP

Link between Pezelj, Peczely (and Pezel)

EdeP — 25 Mar 2004 10:36:22 GMT

I've a couple of questions with respect to said surnames, which I hope, can at least be in part answered (you can answer in German or Croatian, too). First some Background:

The surname "Pezelj" appears in a high density in Lika, Croatia a former part of the Kingdom of Hungary.

They also appear in "Poglizza" (Croatian: Poljica), called a republic or principality, ruled by counts, who were descendents of noble families, some of them claiming to be descendants of Hungarian noble families (!).

"Peczely" are according to Siebmachers "Wappenbuch des Ungarischen Adels" is a hungarian noble families, which - as he states - appears in different writings (!). (One question beside the others: Does this name(s) come from the town "Peczel" in Hungary?)

"Pezel" is a surname found in Silesia or eastern (of former) Germany. A found, that some of thme seem to be settled in Transsylvania (a former part of the Hungarian Kingdom!)

Now the most important question:

Can anyone give me a hint, what the origin of the name finally is?
Did "Pezels" move from Germany to Transylvania and built the root for above branches in Croatia?
or
Did they come from Hungary to Lika and then to Poljica?
or
Are these independent branches?
or
Are thes surnames said different writings?

I'm also a bit clueless, what the ethymologie of "Pezelj" is..

Maybe some of you researched this surname or knows one who did so and may want to contact me..

Help is highly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance,

Eduard Pezelj

Wersal - Sellner - Raska

RadioGame — 17 Oct 2008 12:36:52 GMT

Is anyone familiar with the surname Wersal? My great grandfather Joseph Wersal, b. December 26, 1878 was born in Austria (supposedly). He married Estelle Adelaide (Attille) Sellner, b. December 24, 1879, (Germany?). They married January 16, 1901, Springfield, Brown County, Minnesota. My grandfather has siblings: George, John, Wenzel and Catherine.

Their parents are: Josef Wersal and Magalena (Lena) Raska, both born in either Austria or Germany?

Prior to 1900 at least all of the children of Josef and Magalena came to America, but I do not know if the parents came to America or not, nor do I know when or where the parents died.

A very old photo of my great grandmother Estelle Adelaide (Attille) Sellner Wersal hung in my grandparent's house for many long years, but mysteriously disappeared after my grandmother's
death. It showed my great grandmother as a young girl (maybe 15 or 16 years old) wearing an all
white starched uniform standing next to a very bright and shiny giant size silver coffee urn where she worked in a Vienna coffee house, sometime
around 1895 or so.

Thanks,
Donald

Place Name, Hungarian City - Unterboeblingen??

DecoDragon — 2 Jan 2005 2:03:57 GMT

I've found an ships record for my relative Eduard Munnich (aka Edward Minnick/Munnick) who came to the United States in 1858. He is listed as being from Hungary, and also whoever made the records added a column listing the place the passenger originated from. Unfortunately, I can't quite read the handwriting. I've shown some other people and what we've come up with is that it looks like Unterboeblingen. But on current maps, I've only found Boeblingen, in Germany, and it seems far to the West to ever have been part of Hungary. Does this city ring a bell or could someone suggest a likely alternative? Below is an extraction from the record and names and ages of three other people who are listed as being from the same place. Thank you for your assistance.

The ship is the Donau. It originated from Bremen, Germany, and arrived in New York City on 26 AUG 1858. Microfilm role 497, Line 55, List number 1024. The list is in Ancestry's index if anyone was inclined to take a look for themselves.

My grandmother was born Veron Toth, daughter of Borbola Toth, of Ungderol (sp??) Hungary. She married Ferencz Zombor sometime before 1912. She came to the US in 1913.

Brzeskiewicz-Kroll-Hapsburg

Dawn_Sobczak — 2 Oct 2008 12:08:32 GMT

Hope some one can help
My great grandfather Andrew Brzeskiewicz married Josephine Plisnik in Poland. Born to them was Jacob Brzeskiewicz January 18, 1895 (my paternal grandfather)
Jacob imigrated to america with his Plisnik cousins in 1914. Jacob was the only one in his family to imigrate.

Jacob Brzeskiewicz married Janina Kroll.
Janina Kroll was born in Lodz Poland on January 12, 1902 to Andrew and Victoria Kroll.

Janina was the 7th child of Andrew and Victoria. In 1903 a smallpox epidemic swept through Poland. Janina was the only one to survive. Janina Kroll came to the US with her father in 1905

My father was working on the family tree before he passed away. In it he claims that Janina's great-grand father was Baron Joseph Hapsburg. And Proxeda Hapsburg was Janina's grandmother. Also stated was Proxeda was dis-owned for marring a Russian foot soldier.....So I'm looking for any info on these names.

ALEXANDER DANIEL b. 1885 Austria Search

erindaniels132 — 30 Sep 2008 1:20:34 GMT

I'm looking for information on my great grandfather ALEXANDER DANIEL. Daniel is not his given last name rather the name he was assigned when he immigrated to the United States. His given last name was Demiderchek (alternate spelling possible).

Alexander was born August 2, 1885 in a town in Austria. This is arguable because at the time the possession of the town in which he was born alternated between Russia and Austria. I am unaware of what the name of the town actually was however.

I am assuming that Alexander immigrated to the United States in the early 1900's. I think that because my grandfather was born in the United States in 1919 and he recalls that his parents already had their life set up when he was growing up. When Alexander immigrated to the U.S. he resided in East Lyme, Connecticut, where he died in February of 1971.

He was married to a women named MARY (I do not know her town of origin, or her maiden name). They had two sons, one of which is my grandfather, George, and his brother, Michael.

Any information as to Alexander's parents, town of birth, or marriage records of either his parents, or his own to Mary would be greatly appriciated.

Sincerely,
Erin Daniels

Help Identifying Location on Ellis Island Ship Manifest - Csicsvak

jaenglish — 29 Mar 2008 11:12:12 GMT

I'm helping a friend who is just starting to work on her family tree. I believe I found her grandmother, Anna Csicsvak, age 16, arriving NY through EI on October 2, 1906. She was born in Hungary, but I can't read the location. It looks like Rokibocz. She was traveling to Pittsburgh, PA. When you do a search on the EI site for Anna Csicsvak, you get 2 hits. The first one is the Anna I'm interested in.

Could someone check out the EI manifest and kindly identify the town in Hungary? Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Research Help needed - Albrecht, Ziskal, Hlavacek

aandk97 — 20 Sep 2008 2:46:01 GMT

I am currently trying to research the Albrecht and Ziskal line of ancestry. My grandfather's aunt hired a genealogist a long time ago and was told that we were related to emperor Franz Joseph and that we had something to do with world war I (I know the history of the event, I'm just relaying how my grandfather told me the story). They believed it was through the Albrecht line. How true this is, I don't know, hence the research.

Information I have:
My great-great grandparents -

Emerich C. Albrecht- born 05 Nov 1860 in Slavetine, austria. He came to the US with his wife on the SS Strassburg in 1882 (from Bremen, Germany to Baltimore, Maryland). I have a picture of him in what appears to be a military outfit. He died 31 may 1928 in chicago, illinois.

Katerina Ziskal - born 28 Nov 1854 in Bohemia, died 27 Jan 1930 in chicago, illinois.

Emerich's parents were listed as "joseph albrecht" and "thersa or theresa hlavacek" on his death certificate. Katerina's father was listed as "joseph ziskal".

Any help or advice as to how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea how to obtain more records/information from this point. I seem to have exhausted all information that I can get from the states. No one in my family seems to know what happened to all the genealogical research that was done, so I have to start from square one again.

Thanks for any and all information!!!!

Still searching for Golian, Andre or Goljan. Lived in the area of Detva in 1897. First son Imrich, babtised there in 1897

Georgia Golian — 21 Jul 2004 7:12:20 GMT

I am still searching for Husbands Grandfather's family, Goljan's or now spelled Golian. Have information on Grandmother, she was born about 1852 in or near Hrinova, (maiden name, was Michalik, First name, Dorota on Imrich's babtismal record.) Dorota was first married to Joseph Lalik-Tusim. When he died, she married Andre Goljan. They later had 2 other sons, Andre 2nd, and Marton. Have found Dorota and sons on the Ellis Island Site and they camr to America in 1911 (July) First went to Pensylvania then later came to Missouri about 1914. Have found cousins in and around Hirinova and Banska Bystrica on the Lalik-Tusim side, but can find nothing on Grandfather Goljan's side. No parents or siblings have been found or his birth place. They (Andre and Dorota and sons) are now burried here in Missouri and were Roman Catholic. The Lalik-Tusim side of the family seem to know nothing about the Goljan's. . On the babtismal certificate of Imrich Goljan, the names, Jan Suja Fango and Anna Cerovska appear, I suppose as Godparents or witnesses. Imrich was babtised at the Roman Catholic Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Detva, diocese, Banska Bystrica, November, 18, 1897, The other boys babtismal certificates have not been found. Grandmother Dorota and her first husband, Joseph Lalik-Tusim, had several children, Pauline, Joseph, Katherine, Magdeline, that we know of. All are burried in Slovakia somewhere. Possibly near Hirinova.or Banska Bystrica., or Zolvan area. Anyone having any information about this family, please contact me. All help greatly appreciated. I have posted on all sites over the years, but thought I would try again. Thank You, Georgia and John Golian.

My last name now is Corney. My family name was changed in Ellis Island and I am trying to find what it orginally was so I can get the ship manifestation.

dba1999 — 25 Aug 2008 2:36:09 GMT

hi
my gg grandmother was frances sodd or satt. both satt and sodd were used in the US. I think she was from komlosa/chmelova in the country that is now slovakia.
is it possible her surname was sadova before she emigrated?
if so, is sadova a rusyn surname? she married john andrusko from charne. he emigrated in the 1880s, she came with the children a few years later. they settled in NE Minneapolis and were members of st mary's russian orthodox church.
thanks for your help!

Luczkiewicz, Wzszyarsak

Mitch994 — 19 May 2004 8:04:11 GMT

Hello,

I'm researching these two family names of ancestors from Eastern Europe (I have a variety of spellings, but these seem to be the most accurate). They moved to the U.S. in 1903, settled in "the Pennsylvania coal mining area" and later moved to Stamford, CT. They came from the town of Tylicz, Austria (now Poland). Their descendants say they were "Russian"...spoke "Russian" and belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church. I am not so sure. On one immigrant document, a brother is referred to as from Austria-Ruthenian. Is anyone else researching these names? This area? Can you share family history info with me or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

Barna surname in Urmenyhaza and Zichydorf (Banat)

Annette Fulford — 29 May 2002 12:10:36 GMT

I am trying to research the family of my grandfather Istvan Barna born 24 June 1886, possibly in Urmenyhaza (Banat Region). He came to Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1911, with his wife Magdelena (Kaufman) and sister in law Katalin Kaufman. Their last permanent address was Zichydorf, a neighbouring village to Urmenyhaza. I believe my grandfather may have been an orphan at an early age. I also believe he had a relative (possibly a brother) who also came to North America too. His name was Michael Barna (possibly Mihaly) and he ended up in the US. My grandfather changed his name to Stephen Borno after arriving in Canada.

Guendert-Gundert

sguendert — 9 Jun 2008 8:30:30 GMT

Hello. My name is Stephen Guendert. I live in Ohio. I have recently started trying to trace my ancestors. I have found that they changed the spelling of the family name from Gundert to Guendert when they came over to the U.S.

My grandfather is Anthony Guendert, his father is John (Janos), his mother Katherina and his father is also Janos. They lived in Pilisczaba, Hungary near Budapest. They went back to Germany prior to taking a ship from Bremen to the U.S.

I have come to a dead end trying to trace back further. I believe they moved to Hungary from Germany at somepoint. It appears many Catholic Germans did so in an effort to drive out the Ottoman Turks? Was this part of the crusades?

Any help someone could provide me would be greatly appreciated. I currently live in Columbus, Ohio. If you need more information from me please let me know.

Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

acpopish — 21 Aug 2006 4:43:38 GMT

I am initiating a surname study focusing on descendents of the name Papež. This name was typically anglicized to Papes, Papesh, Papish, and Popish. In German language records, the name is typically written as Papesch. While the focus is Slovenia, there were similar names in Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Montenegro, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Russia.

Underway is a Y-chromosome DNA study hosted by Relative Genetics at: http://relativegenetics.com/genomics/search/projectprospect.....

All families with similar surnames regardless of country/area of origin are encouraged to join. The purpose is to gain an understanding of how ancestors with these similar surnames may be related before paper records existed. In many Slavic languages (including Slovenian), the word Papež means 'Pope' and was presumably applied to a person who resembled the head of the church.

Similar surnames which may or may not be related are Papas or Pappas from Greece, Popich or Popic from Croatia/Serbia, and Papst, Papsh or Pabst from Germany.

My ancestor, Janez Papež, arrived in 1899 in Colorado from the Suha Krajina region of Slovenia (then part of the Austrian Empire). This area is southeast of the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, near Žužemberk and Novo Mesto and included the parishes of Hinje and Ambrus.

Austro-Hungarian Empire travel/work authorization

acpopish — 17 Apr 2008 4:31:42 GMT

I have seen a reference to the granting of a work/travel permit for a Slovenian resident in the mid-1870s. My understanding is that this document was required in order to relocate and work in locations away from the resident's home within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

A relative, Michael Papez, reportedly received this document allowing him to work at mines in present-day Austria and Hungary. Does anyone have experience researching this type of authorization? Is there an archive in Slovenia or Austria that may house these?

Andreas Illenberger

johnillenberger — 17 Feb 2008 3:31:11 GMT

"Andreas Illenberger aus Kaschau, ehemaliger Hauptstadt in Oberungarn, war römisch-kaiserlicher Oberst in Kaschau, gestorben anno 1587".
"Andreas Illenberger of Kaschau, formerly the capital of Upper Hungary, was Holy Roman Colonel in Kaschau; he died in the year 1587".
Today Kaschau is Košice in E. Slovakia. Originally a fortress town, it was the headquarters of a military district, called the Captaincy of Upper Hungary. Košice was chartered in 1241 and became an important trade center during the Middle Ages. It was frequently occupied by Austrian, Hungarian, and Turkish forces. Košice's most notable historic buildings are the Gothic Cathedral of St. Elizabeth (14th-15th cent.), the 14th century Franciscan monastery and church, an 18th century town hall, and the Captain's Palace. The city also has a university and several cultural institutions.
Any information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I suspect Andreas Illenberger was Captain of Upper Hungary.

Is the origin of this name or its variations "Bohemian"?

She used these names while living in the Walawa area of Poland, they are on records there and in my Grandfather's records in Canada. I do not know where she was born; one Canadian record says Cracow, Poland. Her dates are 1865-1956. He was on record as being born in Praha, Bohemia and in another place in Tabor, Czechoslovakia.

A Village named "Calma"

I am assuming the village was destroyed.
There is reference to it in a poem in the book:

Bildband Hodschag 1756 - 1945

My Grandmother (Katharina Messmann) and Aunt talked briefly of coming from there. How long they lived there I am unsure.

Looking for its possible location and history.

Andau church records pre-1826

I have been researching my Sattler ancestors in Andau and Tadten and have searched both microfilms. I now have my line traced back to about 1776 with a Laurence Sattler and Catharina Rieschl.

What is my next step to researching this line? Are there any more microfilms going further back? Did Andau have a parish before 1826 or did people go to the county seat of Moson (Wieselburg)? Is the state archive my next step? If so, where is it located?

Answers to these questions would be very helpful to my research.

Thank you,
