Zlatica : Re: Hello

Hi

There were 16 KNEISZs that passed thru Ellis Islnad to America. Might want to look over those manifests.

Hungary's phone book is listing the name Kneisz.
www.matav.hu/tudakozo

You need to locate a name of a town in order to proceed with the research wether locating distant relatives or ancestors.

Hi Luke,

Luke: deutschland - ungarn - österreich

Bei mir ist es ähnlich, hab das ganze auch nur zufällig gefunden. Ich bin aus Ostösterreich, genauer aus dem Burgenland. Tja vielleicht wäre es besser, wenn wir über email kommunizieren würden. poste mal meine adresse, dann kannst du ja schreiben, wenn du lust hast. suicidepactyoufirst -a-t- hotmail -d-o-t- com
schon seltsam, dass sich jemand aus deutschland und österreich in einem ungarischen forum treffen.
schönen abend noch,

KIKI: Re: Hello

Helló !

Gondolom nem fogsz meglepõdni, az én nevem is Kneisz István és nem angolul írok, hanem anyanyalvemen. De ha gondolod we can continue the letter on English language, but I think the Hungarian is better for Hungarians. Én Miskolcon élek, nem tudom kire gondoltál Miskolcon, tudom, hogy rajtam kívül is vannak kneiszek Miskolcoon, de nem vagyunk rokonok.
Az én Édeapám Mezõszilason születet1925-ben, fiatal korát Dégen, Enyingen, Lajoskomáromban és környékén töltöte. Most Izsákon él és elmúlt 79 éves.
Nem tudom van e a nevünkön kívül más ami összeköt bennünket, írj ha érdekes a dolog.

Üdv, Kneisz István

a.kneisz: kneisz család

Hello én Kneisz Andrea vagyok, az édesapámat Kneisz Ferencnek hívták, sajnos már nem él. Tudom hogy vannak rokonaim Kanadában. Nagyon meglep, hogy ennyi Kneisz van, azt hittem, ez nagyon ritka név! Budapesten élek.

How do you know about all the Kneisz family ?

I believe the one in Ozora is related to my family which you mentioned. Are you related to them or did you research the name ?

Patricia: kneisz

Hello, I just came across this site and am looking for ancestors on my fathers side. Before marrying to become POJSL my Grandmother was Maria Kneisz. Living in Budafok Hungary during the 1930-40s and onward. I am searching for any information. I live and was born in Australia. (so far away!) Was wondering if kneisz is German or Austrian?

alankneisz: Re: kneisz

I think the name has decedents in both countries. But my understanding is that Kneisz comes from the Austrian 'Kneiss' and was modified to be more Hungarian, thus the z on the end. Though I could be wrong. But there are Kneisz in both Austria and Hungary so it seems both have decendents.

Lukas: Meaning of Kneisz

I'm from Austria and I haven't found any meaning for "Kneisz" in Austrian or German. I think it's the other way round, so that it is Hungarian and some changed it to "Kneiss" to make it sound more German.

When I asked a girl from Budapest about the meaning of my surname she told me, that the word which sounds most similar is the Hungarian word for "carnival". Could it be or is this absolutely wrong.

I didn't find Budafok on a map. Is it the right spelling or did they change the name of the town after the war?

Hello just read your post and will reply. I am 1st generation born in Australia. My Grandmother was Maria Kneisz (Budafok) and I do not know much else!

Did you try Austria's Ancestry, Genforum board or Austria's phone book? Do you know where your ancestor was born?

I visited my family in Ozora in 1992 and stayed with them. The father was Jozsef Kneisz and he is running a large farm. Is that your relative as well ?
I am not so sure about Maria Nadar. Maybe we are relatives ?

Altnetter: Re: Hello

Hello All,
My gg-grandmother was called Rozália Kneisz and she was born in a village named Bakonyjákó in Veszprém county, Hungary. She got married with Mathias Altnetter and the all family left to the south of Brazil in 1891. I went to Hungary few weeks ago and was searching at the National Archives in Budapest and found plenty of Kneisz' registrations in Bakonyjákó and Magyarpolány. Most of the german-hungarians from that region left to the Americas (US, Canada, Brazil and Argentina) from 1890's until the end of WWII. I believe there are still people with this family name living in those two villages.
I hope it helps :)
Cheers,
Roger Altnetter from Paris, France.

Kerékgyártóné Kneisz Éva: Re: Hello

Sziasztok! Én Egerben élek, nagyapám Kneisz Mihály Bukováron született. Én Újlõrincfalván születtem és Poroszlón éltem fiatal koromban. Ezek a települések Magyarországon találhatóak, és nagyon sok a Kneisz vezetéknevû. Azt gondoltam, hogy ez egy nagyon ritka név, de úgy látszik mégsem.Az öcsém, Kneisz Arnold, sajnos 1982-ben eltûnt, ha véletlenül tud valaki Róla, kérem értesítsen.Egyébként szeretném, ha közösen létrehoznánk a Kneisz-ek klubját, ahová csatlakozhatna az, akit így hívnak. Lehet, hogy rokonok is vannak köztünk... Írjatok, én nagyon várom! 56 éves vagyok, és szeretnék találkozni az azonos nevû rokonokkal, vagy ismerõsökkel.
