Boriska BENKO (maiden name BODA)who lived in Batanii-Mici this century. Also Iren Keleman who graduated school in 1981 same area. All related to Putnoki family. I am descendant of Agnes Putnoki who married Stephen Nemes in Hungary. The family originated in Kisbacon. Any information or leads to finding these cousins appreciated.

The name Budner could be Bodner. Am trying to trace heritage. Would appreciate help in doing so.

Thank you.

Hello Janet,
Let make a little closest your research... if you are still interested. I am living in Transylvania, in Szepsiszentgyorgy town, Kovaszna county, not so far from Kisbacon.
A lot of Hungarian families has a very old history.

Hi Erika,

Tried sending you an e-mail, but it bounced. Do you have a new e-mail address? I'm researching some Benkõ-s myself.

Hi,
my family Benkoe originates from Árkos. Maybe you knows somebody of them.

Hello Lazar,

My Benko's showed up in Hadikfalva, Bukovina in the 1780's. I would like to find out where they came from in Transylvania (before going to Bukovina). There were two men (brothers?) Marton, born about 1782, and Jozsef, born about 1770.

That's all I know about them so far.

I took a look at your family tree, and it looks like your line is a female one(?) If so, that is too bad, because we have a Y-DNA project, and I am looking for a Benko in Transylvania to test and compare to our Bukovina Benko's. This may be the only way to determine if all the Benko's are related.

Best Wishes,

Beth

P.S. I live in Budapest also, and if you are interested in setting up a Benko DNA project, I could help you do it.

Hi,
you are right, it's a female line. If you live in Budapest, you probably speak Hungarian too. Hungarian nationality maybe?
Good chance and happy new year!
Lazar
