| Gabi: Re: DUKES(Z) from Nitra | Dear Eva,
The probability is quite high that we are distantly related as Josef DUKESZ and Rosalia Engel were also from Hecse (Choca) as was my ancestor Morititz DUKESZ and his wife Zsani BRAUN. Here is a marriage record for your ancestor which I found last year (2005) in the Nitra pri Ivanke archive:
Date: August 15, 1882
Groom: Josef DUKES of Hecse, son of Hermann DUKESZ and Hani GOTTLIEB, age 31
Bride: Rosi ENGEL of Nagy Ker, daughter of Gabriel ENGEL and Regina SCHONFELD, age 23
Here is a listings of the children of Herman DUKES (DUX) and Hani GOTTLIEB of Hecse:
Kathi August 16, 1852
Mari Jan 8, 1856
Moriz Mar 20, 1857
Eduard Jul 8, 1858
Michael Jul 20 1860
Aron Schugla Aug 15, 1862
Leni (Helen) Apr 28, 1864
As you can see, Josef is not on my list, but he was probably listed in a previous book.
I also have a listing of the siblings of your father Geza, so if you do not have those already, I can e-mail them to you. |
