Mark Hoferitza: Slovak/Magyar Connection

Hello All, I am trying to research my family in Slovakia. I'm guessing that Hoffericza is a Hungarian spelling of Hoferica, my family name. Since the part of Slovakia they lived in was once occupied by Hungarians. The town is Svaty Martin or Sventmarton. I'm hoping someone out there can help.
Thanks,
Mark Hoferitza

Mark,

The town of Szentmarton aka Svaty Martin is now just Martin, Slovak Republic.
http://mapy.atlas.sk for locating the town in SK

The old 1910 Hungarian megye map is at :
http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910 click on Turocz megye

www.zoznamst.sk SK's phone site is listing the surname HOFERICA.
2 HOFERICAs, 6 HOFERICZAs passed thru Ellis Island. Yes, there was an Hoffericza but that could be a transcribing error. To locate an Ellis Island manifest in One Step use :

Mark Hoferitza: Re: Slovak/Magyar Connection

Thank you very much. I do have info from the FHL in Salt Lake City. (I live about 35 norty of Salt Lake City). I have been intrigued by the different spellings (Hoferica, Hoferitza, Hofferica, and Hoffericza). Thanks for the amnifest link. I will check it out.

Your welcome.
It is all in pronounciation, as they say.
The TZ in English and CZ in Magyar make the C sound in Slavic language.

Mark Hoferitza: Slovak or Hungarian Towns

I am trying to find out about a couple of towns. I have Hungarian names for them, but it is possible they are actually in Slovakia now. Hope someone can help.

Nagyszvazscz, Hungary
Ricswaralja, Hungary

Thanks,
Mark Hoferitza

Zlatica : Re: Slovak or Hungarian Towns

Mark

Both of the villages's names are misspelled.

Ricsovaralja is now Hricovske Podhradie, SK and the surname HOFERICA lists in that village's phone book.

Nagyszoczocz. There was a village named Szoczocz in Turocs megye which now is called Socovce, Slovak Republic.
Nagy-Szoczocz is now Socovce, Slovak Republic.
Kis-Szoczocz is now Stranka, Slovak Republic

One of the Hofericzas has that the town is in Turocz megye.

Zlatica: Re: Slovak town

Another misspelled name of a town.

It is Hricsovaralja which is another old name for the village now known as Hricovske Podhradie.

Draganescu1: Re: Slovak town

Mark,
I just saw your listing for Hofferica. My grandmother was born in Hricovske Podhradie. I visited a distant relative of hers in 2001. His name was Jozef Hofferica and he lived at House #57 in Hricovske Podhradie.
