Surnames: Bánhidy and Marksaid
My great great grandmother was Kristina Bánhidy of Csongrad. Her parents were D. Ladislaus Bánhidy and Klara Marksaid. I think Marksaid is probably misspelled. I am interested on any information on this family.

Also I see some info for others with this last name on the world tree. Is there any way to contact the poster?

The Bánhidy name is indeed represented in the nobility literature, including the coat of arms. However, no Ladislaus/László appears in the genealogies, nor any connection with Csongrád.

Marksaid is most likely a Magyarized form of a German name, also Marksajd. The German was probably something like Markscheid. I also see Markschejd in Radix. No similar name appears in the Hungarian phone directories today, nor is it found in the nobility literature.

Bánhidy is found in the Hungarian phone directories, and there are probably many more in Romania. But they seem to be quite scattered, most frequently in Eger and Szeged, and none in Csongrád.

I see you have posted on Radix with considerably more information, including a connection with Glogowatz, now in Romania. Have you looked at all the websites dealing with Glogowatz, including an offer to do look-ups? Have you also scoured all the possible church records for your place names?

Let me know if you would like any of the entries in the nobility literature on the Bánhidy family. It is mostly in Hungarian except for Siebmacher, which is in German.

I am also interested in more information on the Banhidy family. I have a copy of the family crest. My grandmother was Banhidy Ilona who was a well-known Actress. She married Dereki Janos. Her (brother /father?) was Banhidy Jozsef...must have been important as I have photos of his State funeral. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
