Frank,

Wow, this is remarkable. I don’t speak Latin but this confirms that they were Hungarian and gives thier traditional names as well as their parents names, this is amazing! Thank you so much! Very interesting that they attended a Polish church. HoWever, Johannes is not a Hungarian name, I don’t believe? Either way, this is a spectacular starting point. The writing is a bit hard to read and i will need to translate the Latin, but I can build off this!

Are these names Hungarian? It looks to me like John Stanko is spelled Joannes Stenko. János is Hungarian for John. Joannes sounds like something else to me. His parents look like “Andreas Stenko” and his mother I can’t make out at all. Can anyone make out these names and or validate them as Hungarian?

I read it as

Joannes Stenko age 23 son of Andreas and Maria Kowal

Anna Kenderes age 22 daughter of Michaelis and Elizabeth Gajda

in attendance Carolo Praisner and Joanne Solautaj (?)

I would cross-check this one with the NJ state record.


The church records had many "Slavic" names. I also saw some from Carphato-Rusyn surname (which I am) but the records seem to always state their nationalities as you can slightly see "Pol" on the record below. Thus I think you can conclude they were from Hungary.

PS: Here is a Latin reference - https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/La ... ord_List#P

I agree, this confirms they are Hungarian. To me Anna appears to be something else, and Maria Kowal looks more like Maria Kowaé. I will cross check this for sure. Thank you so much for your help, my family will be so excited to find this info.
