ffgeoff: Falkus(ovce)
There was a town named Falkus in the old A-H empire of Zemplen megye which now is called Falkusovce, Slovak Republic.
Would anyone be able to suggest how i can fing out how this village aquired the name FALKUS.
Thankyou

Erwin: Re: Falkus(ovce)
Falkus, tót kisközség 120 házzal és 639 lakossal, kiknek legnagyobb része gör. kath. vallású. Postája, távírója és vasúti állomása Bánócz. Ősrégi község, melynek földjét már 1200-ban, Wyd István, az egri káptalan előtt Harach fia Falkosnak adományozta. Ettől a Falkostól veszi nevét a község is; de 1220-ban a Buttkayak kapnak rá kir. adományt. 1343-ban a községnek Buttkai-Falkus volt a neve.
-means:
the area of Falkus was already in 1200 given by Istvan Wyd to Falkos son of Harach. The village name is derived from Falkos=Falkus. Later, for some time, as it was owned by the Buttkay family, it was called Buttkai-Falkus.
remark: Falkus, Folkus was a rel. common given name

Hi,
I am researching my family from Falkovce and Laskovce. The
grandfather's name was Andrej Vaszily, son of John Vaszily and
Mary (Tkacs- Dojcsak) Vaszily. He had a sister name Anna. Are
you familiar with th Vaszily or Tkacs familes? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
