John Christian: looking for village in Zemplen Megye where my father came from. Could be Veke which was changed to Vojka

I am looking for the village my father's people lived in Zemplen Megye. My cousin says it was Veke which I believe is now called Vojka. Could anyone shed any light on this situation? Thank you.
John

The old 1910 Hungarian megye map is at :

To locate a town in Slovak Republic use :

The LDS-Mormsons are listing church records of the village Veke. You can order the films and gather ancestral information.

John Christian, I have ancestors in that village, too. I just ordered the 1828 census records in th LDS. Since the village is rather small I wonder if we have common ancestors. My ancestors there are from the Ortutay and Spellenberg families.

John, I am also researching into Veke as my ancestor Marton Vekey originated from there, and is listed as being there in 1245.

If you have not yet been able to locat Veke, I found it here http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/zemplen.jpg

Basically, scroll to the very bottom of the map and move over to the far right hand side, where there is a map key. Then move up into the first squares that actually contain some map - it's between 15 and 30 up the side. Staying level, move to the left one square...and Veke is near the top of that square near the centre of it.

I am interested in finding out about the Kastely there - apparently my ancestor was given the Veke area around 1245 by a king to reward him for his part in a battle (or something like that).

I do not know much about the history of Veke at all, so would appreciate it if you would tell me what you are able to find out,

Thanks, Jane

Vojka is about 20 miles North of Belgrade in the county of Vojkodina. I don't think its name has ever been anything else, but I could be wrong.

Melyen Tisztelt Janedevekey!
Igen a festoi kornyezetben fekvo kis falucska Veke Szlovakiaban helyezkedik el nem messze Kiralyhelmectol mindossze 10 km-re. A terkepen szlovak megnevezese Vojka.
A kis telepulesnek jelenleg kozel 500 lakosa van, akik
dolgos kezekkel szépitik naprol - napra a kedves kis -falucskat. A telepulesen negy gondozott temeto, ket templom
/katolikus kriptallyal es reformatus/ egy gondozott kornyezettel korulvett kastely talalhato.
Nagyon sajnalom, hogy az irottakat nem angol nyelven tudtam Onnel kozolni. Ha megis igenyt tart informaciokra
Vekerol nagyon szivesen megteszem magyar vagy szlovak nyelven. Tisztelettel Maria
