vd could also be a Latin abbreviation for vide- see.
I have see in Catholic documents "vide pag. 201" or "vd. p. 304" and once I saw
vd. familia ______, so you could have a document that is cross-referencing.
IF the document is in Slovak, then vd= vdova would be most likely, but the
Selcani doesn't fit grammatically-- not that this in and of itself would nullify
the "vdova" thought, as form documents don't always fit grammatically.....
However, so far only Ludovit is able to verify the language, which would make a
big difference....

>>> 'vd' is an abrreviation for "vdova" (= widow)
Hence my reading is Milcová [the widow of] Selčáni <<<

Alan, I believe that č is an accented c and so it would be the widow of
Selc'ani, a name that currently appears in Komarno and Kolarvo.

Hello, and welcome (back) aboard. I hope you are well now.  I have no idea
whether this Hritz is any relation, but it's never a bad idea to follow up and
save information, as one never knows what will happen "down the line." 
Thanks.Lisa"And if we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we

             Yes, I am researching Hritz.  I have been ill for a while and just
saw you notice of Hritz.
I believe a Hritz came to southern Ohio in the early 1900's.  He came with his
wife for
work and to be with his good friend, Andy Gemeri.  Hritz's wife and  Andy
Gemeri's wife
were sisters.  They both came from (what is now) Slovakia.  I found this on
Ancestry.com.
Also, someone contacted me through Ancestry, com. and invited me to Michigan for
a
100th birthday party.  They also contacted Hritz.  I only had a week's notice of
the birthday
party and couldn't make it; Neither did Hritz.  I found out that the lady in
Lansing, Michigan
was Andy Gemeri's daughter.  Andy Gemeri was my grandfather I never met.  I kept
contact
with Michigan and went up there in July of this year.  The wonderful lady in
Michigan is
my great aunt.  She turned 101 now.  Best time of my life!  Met my wonderful
cousin and
his wife.  They found a Hritz (now living in California).  Hritz's wife would be
related to us.
The Gemeri name was changed to Gamary when they came to Ohio because it was
easier.  I will check my paperwork this week for you and let you know what town
in
Slovakia  Andy Gemeri came from.  His good friend Hritz was probably from the
same
town.  My great aunt from Michigan went to that town when she was in her 80's to
find
the family (and she did).  I am trying to contact Hritz family in California.  I
will get back
to you this week.

Is there anyone else researching these names? Are these Slovak, Hungarian or
other, based
on their spelling. My other search is for Macura families from Sarisske
Jastrabie. I am not
certain if the HRITZ and RUHALA families were also from Sarisske Jastrabie or a
nearby
location. My husband's great grandmother was Mary Hritz and I understand that
her
mother's name was Ruhala. That is all the information I have at present.

I was looking through the manifests, and I didn't see the Novotnys there. Now,
the old book made sense- and it is a listing of Jan, Josephs, and Karels. :-D
To get the most out of it, we need the rest of the "book," as the information is

Ben,
 
I'm not sure I understand your request to propogate the name. I listed Milec
because it was available in the document. It is in reference to a female
ancestor so yes Milcova is correct. The "e" was an accented "c" so that is
correct. Some how my copy/paste was corrupted by my yahoo maybe. Thanks for the
possible meaning of vdova Alan. The fact that Selcani is a name is helpful. It's
interesting /a little/ that the church bothered to put the masculine surname
with her. Perhaps to note her late husbands surname without question?
 
This document that the church sent is available in my folder here in the group,
title- Leporis_family_church_record.doc. Feel free to eke out what you can. BTW,
the language is Slovak, eastern dialect.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I guess I meant that keeping the Slovak tradition of -ova or -sky to-ska may
help you more than trying to move it into a masculine form when you see it. It
is a church document? Therefore, it may be Latin- with the Milec for
clarification. Usually the RC church kept (and keeps) records in Latin.  My
records in Slovakia are in Latin, in fact....
However, if it is a Lutheran church, I am going to bank on Slovak or German
records....

Hey there,
I am going a final pedigree to finish a course, but wouldn't you know it, I two
symbols in a German family register that I am not sure about.
the first is # before an entry- I think it is a symbol meaning "buried."
the other is |0|.  I have no idea. Second marriage? illegitimate? I know that
0|0 is divorced, but this one is the mirror image, and I am lost.
Can you all help?
Thank you!
Ben




[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ben,

I understand. It is correctly noted as Milcova, but I thought it was
strange that they would include Milec in the notation. The widow
theory seems to fit given the discussion so far. I feel pretty
fortunate that the church would consider sending that document to me.
It did help when my cousin from Bratislava emailed the guy and he was
very eager to help. He even asked questions about my great aunts that
were not included in the document but were born there. For instance
he had (church data boss) prior information that there were
additional children born here in the states after my family left(my
grandfather for one), so that would seem to indicate that my great-
grand parents kept in touch. Just an interesting side note.

Thanks,
Ludovit

strange words,

       Keresz Tszulok neve, allasa   es vallasa

    This was in the section that I believe is births and baptisms.'
I also saw the heading "Anyakonyve"    which I assume translates to either

surnames,   maybe.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yes, Tom, these records are in Hungarian.



keresztszülők neve: name of godparents

allasa és vallasa: status and religion
szulok neve allasa és vallasa: parents names, status, and religion
anyakonyve: register of births, marriages, and deaths



Normally the data are provided in the following order:

             Date of baptism

             Given name of child

             Name of parents, their status and religion

             Name of godparents, their status and religion



The most commonly encountered uniquely Hungarian consonants include:

             J - sounds like "y"

             S - sounds like "sh"

             SZ - sounds like "s"

             CS - sounds like "ch"

             CZ - sounds like "ts" (now obsolete, replaced by C)



It won't take you long before it all comes more easily-honest.

Tom,

I'm no native Hungarian speaker but did study the language for three years
while I lived and worked in Budapest so I may be able to give you some
insight.

This appears to be old Hungarian since some of the words don't appear in any
of my dictionaries and it is a bit more difficult since there may have been
accent marks on some of the letters.  That said, based on what I was able to
find, I agree with you that this is from a birth and baptismal register.
I'm pretty sure the two phrases you listed ask for god parents' names and
parents' names because szülök means parents and neve means name.

  The heading "Anyakonyve" with the proper accents would literally mean
"Motherbook" which would be the book where a child's birth would be
registered with the church.

Sorry I can't give you a more perfect translation but I'm pretty confident
in the basic idea of what you are looking at.  Maybe someone else on the
list can enlighten us further.

Thanks ,Paul .  That helps me.   Yes there were some diacritical marks, but I
left them out.

     Now, on the fiche from Spisska Nova  Ves, which is in latin I believe,  
below the name of the child being baptised was the word FABORICANT.    Does
anyone know what that signifies?                                       Tom

The commercial mentions going to a rural village in Romania, which is most
likely Transylvania. But Budapest is the capital of Hungary, a large city,
and is nowhere near Romania.



Pretty silly commercial all around, though.

Subject: [S-R] Transylvanian Whopper Virgins



Burger King has launched an new ad campaign entitled Whopper Virgins.
I just saw the commercial on TV today. Commercial says it's location
is Budepesti (hope I spelled it correct) Transylvania.
They went there to have a taste test by people who never ate a
hamburger before.
The Burger King ad says to go to
whoppervirgins.com

Has anyone seen the ad?
How do you feel about it?

If I'm getting the information correctly (I haven't checked it.), it sounds like
Burger King's ad agency has about as much geographical knowledge as the U.S.
population in general."And if we accept that a mother can kill her own child,
how can we tell others not to kill one another?"

Three people have now stated that this is a bunch of junk, so why don't we just
drop it.
The very title is an insult to the decency of the Slovak nation.

The commercial mentions going to a rural village in Romania, which is most
likely Transylvania. But Budapest is the capital of Hungary, a large city,
and is nowhere near Romania.

Pretty silly commercial all around, though.
