Re: Frank and Katie Befi,son Joseph

JPmiaou — 2013-04-19 04:37:28Z

So what did they change their surname *from*?

There's no Boldogasszonyfa in Baranya county. There is one in Somogy, which is the next county over; the civil registration office was in Szentlászló.

Um, in fact, is this them?

Hungary, Civil Registration, 1895-1980 - Somogy - Szent-László - Marriages (Házasultak) 1895-1903 - Image 273 of 292

Groom Péfi Ferenc, residence Boldogasszonyfa, son of Péfi Ferenc and the late Háber Terézia; bride Nyers Katalin, residence Boldogasszonyfa, daughter of Nyers Miklós and the late Purgreth Terézia; marriage date Feb. 8, 1903.

I'll leave finding their son's birth record as an exercise for the student. :-)

Frank and Katie Befi,son Joseph

SBross65 — 2013-04-18 06:02:32Z

Frank , born in Boldogasszonyfa, Baranya, Hungary married Katie around 1903. Son Joseph was born 1904. They changed the name to Befi when immigrated 1912. Any information greatly appreciated.

You're welcome.
Since he was a typesetter that required for him to travel than possible it is what it is, the location that is. Just to be 100% sure do double check the document to make sure there is no S.Ofalu on the document, if not than it is Ofalu, Baranya.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the information you have sent! Yes. . .I did see that Ofalu is quite far from Bolyar and you may be correct in thinking he actually lived in Sarosofalu! I will check my documents from home for any further clues. My grandfather was a typesetter before coming to America. I have his "employment book" and will look to see what towns he worked in. It is possible he travelled around I guess, being a typesetter.

Thanks again.

I take it you have documents that show these 2 locations as a place of birth and last residence. They are pretty far from each other.

I was thinking being that Bolyar, Saros megye is pretty far from Ofalu, Baranya megye that maybe the
Sárosófalu in Sáros megye might be the Ofalu.
these 2 villages are are 6.5km apart.

I am looking for more information on Francisca Soton, daughter of Joannes Soton and Francisca Dochnel, Szabolcs. She was baptized 02 Apr 1871 Szabolcs, Baranya, Hungary. I believe this is the same woman who married Karl Lupinszek (spelling?) about 1891 possibly in Germany.

I would appreciate any data -- birth, death, marriage -- siblings, or any clues for further research. I would also appreciate connecting with anyone researching this family.

Her father's name is Joseph Kostelenski) left behind two daughters, Helen and Margaret. They had a third child, Emil, in the USA.

It was published in 1975 and has a huge number of maps, references, drawings, images, and other archaeological details about Baranya in the period 567-829 CE.

Re: Viant/Wiandt/Wieand-Genealogie

hortonsboa — 2010-07-31 11:24:24Z

Quote from an information board in Vianden. Does this explain the name Viant in Austria (Burgoland)? presumably the emigrants would have taken the name as originating in Vianden.
In the 13 and 14 century the counts of Vianden, the most powerful rulers in the region between the Our River and the West Eifel, fought fiercely against the Counts of Luxembourg for predominance over the region between the Meuse and Moselle Rivers. In 1140, Frederick 1 of Vianden assisted the Archbishop of Trier in a fued against Henry 1V of Luxembourg. The villages whose houses had been pillaged and ravaged during the fights followed the appeal of King Geza 11 of Hungary and emigrated to Transylvania where the Moselle Frankish language has been preserved to this day.

Hi Kurt,

In regards to these records, the furthest point I can go back to is my Great Grandfathers year of Birth which is in 1893. Can we trace this back? please...

Re: Viant/Wiandt/Wieand-Genealogie

hortonsboa — 2010-07-02 08:33:10Z

Presumably the Viant tribe migrated across what is now Hungary, Austria, eastern France (Lorraine), ending up in Cornwall England in the 16c - where they largely are to this day. and always just ahead of the next war or battle. In the 19c many (mostly miners) emigrated to USA, Australia and South Africa. My branch (Bodmin Cornwall) became lawyers, tax inspectors, doctors and engineers - as they are to this day but now scattered along Englands' south coast.
