	Andrew Rakaczki: To all Rakaczki's I recently came across this webpage and think it is a great oppurtunity to find out where the Rakaczki name comes from and whom my distant relatives might be. I have never come across another Rakaczki outside my immediate family, and am curious to know if there are any of you out there. If so, where does our name come from? What part of Hungary are you from? Is it fully a Hunagrian name? I currently reside in the US and I'm searching for another Rakaczki here? Do you exist? Would love to here from someone who has any information that would be relevant. Lucky hunting!!! AMR		30/10/2003, 20:17:45 #: 200310441 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Zlatica : Re: To all Rakaczki's Not a Rakaczki. The Ellis Island website is listing 21 RAKACZKIs as passing thru that port. Good idea to check out some of the manifest. You need to locate a name of a town for your ancestor in order to proceed with the research. The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) have filmed the church records but you need that name of a village and know religious orientation of your ancestor to order the films from which you can gather ancestral information. www.matav.hu/tudakozo Hungary's phone site There are Rakaczkis listed in Budapest, Miskolc,Tolcsva,Arnot, Forro, Edeleny etc. www.rat.de/kuijsten/navigator		03/11/2003, 00:27:58 #: 2003119 post replyedit abuse? profile

	rakaczki: Re: To all Rakaczki's Hi Andrew, This is Gyula Rakaczki from Hungary, Miskolc It was only accidental for me to find this site. I'm also curious to know more about my family name. This surname is not so often appears around my place, but there are some around. And some of them are even not relatives- I mean I don't know about connections so far. The only thing I know about our name is that it comes from Poland. I don't have any excact data about that, but my father told it to me. My grandfather was born in 1897, but in Hungary. If you would like to keep in touch with me, to find out more about our family name, write me soon to this address: rakaczkig -a-t- chello -d-o-t- hu Waiting for your answer!

	szemerszki Hi! My mother's name is Rakaczki. This name comes from West-Ukrain below the mountains Kárpátok. There is a village Rakaca. The mean: a men who comes from Rakaca. But not in hungarien.

	Andrew Rakaczki: Thanks! I was in Hungary this summer and did a little searching while I was there. I have often heard of the town of Rakaca in the Ukraine and it does appear that our name comes from this root word. But I am more interested in why so many Rakaczkis came to the Borsod part of Hungary. It seems as though all those with the name migrated out of that area. I will do some more searching for how many Ukranians still have this name. Any idea what happened that lead to the exodus? Also- in that area of Hungary their is an old slav language called Tot that is spoken by the older population. It is a Ukranian-Slav language that must have stayed with them from this early period. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks, Andrew		29/07/2005, 22:13:33 #: 2005071220 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Zsolt Rakaczki: Re: Thanks! Hi Andrew, I live in Budapest, but my parents and relatives live in Borsod Abaúj Zemplén county. What I know about the origin of our family name is that coming from Poland. One of our gradfather came from Poland. As I know he was a miner. The father of my grandfather is named János Rakaczki. As I know his father came from Poland. The father of my grandfather had spoken Tot. He was in the United States between the two Word War. As I know two or three times. He had 7 children of which 3 or 4 were born in the States. Finally he came back to Hungary. I think we should check that in the past the town Rakaca made part of Poland or not. In the past the Polish-Ukrainen border was modified and I suppose that this is the reason why some people consider it as a Polish origin name. I don't know if there is a link between our name and the name of a stream named Rakaca in the northern Borsod. Anyway it seems to be sure that Rakaczkis are concentrated in northern Borsod. I suppose that the second vawe reached Miskolc and other part of Hungary. In the first half of the previous century some of Rakaczkis left Hungary and settled in the US. If you have any new information please share it with us. I will talk with my relatives to know more about past. Zsolt		11/10/2005, 23:09:28 #: 200510423 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Judit Rakaczki: Re: Thanks! Hi Andrew! I live in Budapest, but my family comes from North Hungary, from Borsod. My grandfather was born in Abaújlak. As I know the family comes from Poland. My great-grandfather has visited USA once about 1900. In Hungary Rakaczki is not a common family name. Firstly that's all I can tell you, but if you have any question...:) Judit		16/02/2006, 17:02:27 #: 200602963 post replyedit abuse? profile

	arakaczki: Szia Judit! It's great to hear from you. Thanks for replying to my post. Since I've started this search I've gotten some good information from a bunch of people. It seems that the Rakaczki name is Polish...not Ukranian. There is a strong connection between Tot and our name. What I am really curious about is why the Rakaczki clan/family left Poland? And I'm certian now...that they traveled as a large group to Borsod...and settled there. Almost all Rakaczki's are originally from Borsod. What is really interesting is that there does not seem to be any Rakaczki's left and/or living in Poland. They all left. And that stricks me as unusuaul. If you don't mind I have a few questions- Do you have an idea as to why the Rakaczki's came to Magyarorszag? Are you Greek Catholic? How old are you? What was your grandfather's name? Do you have any relatives from Muscony or Szuhakallo- close to Edeleny? Thanks for all your help. All of my best wishes. Andrew M.

	beverlyandrews: Rakaczki Surname Hello, I also have Rakaczki's in my family. My mother's Baba was Marie Rakaczki who married Alexander Bravisz 22 September 1894 in Westmoreland Co., PA, USA. They lived in Latrobe and are buried in St. Vincent Cemetery. I would love to share info and learn more about the name. I really know nothing. Per family, she was born in Austria Hungary September 8, 1878. She died in Latrobe, March 29, 1960. I've seen the surname spelled different ways but this is the spelling she used on her marriage license. My uncle said she had a brother Emery and a sister Susan or Suzie. He's not sure. And that her mother's maiden name was Kovalcic. Would love to make a connection and learn more of this interesting surname. Thanks in advance Beverly Andrews Erwin, TN SURNAMES: RAKACZKI/RACKACI; BRAVISZ/BRAVIS; KISICZKI; DANKO/DANYKO; KOVALCIC; PAVLIK; NADJADI/NADZADI		09/01/2008, 00:03:03 #: 200801689 post replyedit abuse? profile

	Zlatica : Re: Rakaczki Surname Berverly the word "baba" for grandmother is used by the Slavic people. Since your ancestor died in 1960 there should be some paperwork, US document, with her place of birth. Was she naturalized citizen? Did she have social security numbers? http://ssdi.rootsweb.com Have you located her state marriage license or church marriage certificate? KOVALCIC sound Slavic. www.kuijsten.de/navigator		09/01/2008, 00:46:27 #: 200801695 post replyedit abuse? profile

	beverlyandrews: Re: Tot Language Please advise what the language Tot is. I cannot find anything that explains. Is it a language the Rakaczki's spoke? On another note, my ggrandmother used to call the children what sounded like "gloopy moonkas" and they used to say something that sounded like "von yesh pee" that had to do with someone sleeping. Thank you. Beverly Andrews		09/01/2008, 04:10:42 #: 200801699 post replyedit abuse? profile
