Adolf Magaziner

Adolf Magaziner was born in Humenne around 1833-1836, the son of Samuel. I have found no record of Adolf's mother's name, but I assume his mother was Rozalia Rosenzweig, who was the mother of Adolf's younger brother David.

Adolf was a merchant. On November 19, 1865, Adolf married Johanna Neufeld in Budapest. Johanna was born in 1846 in Gyor. She was the younger sister of Jozsef's wife, Antonia. Adolf and Johanna lived in Budapest and Vienna during their marriage. They had at least 12 children, but four of those children died young. Several of their children converted to Christianity.

Adolf died on October 9, 1890 in Vienna, Austria of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof in the same plot as two of his children. He was in his mid-50s. Johanna died on August 21, 1894.

Generation #4

Rosa Magaziner

Rosa Magaziner was born in Vienna on September 11, 1866. She converted to Christianity in Vienna in 1886, at the age of 20.

Rosa died in June 1933 at the age of 67 under the name Rosa Geissler. I do not know if this was a married name or if she simply chose to change her name. She is buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof (not in the Jewish section) in the same grave with her sister Adele.

Viktor Adalbert Magaziner (Bela)

Bela Magaziner was born in Budapest on October 15, 1867. In Vienna, he went by the name Adalbert, and later Viktor Adalbert. Viktor was an accountant, and worked for Heinrich Sachs' short metal factory from its inception until his death. Sachs is sometimes identified as the inventor the thumbtack. Viktor converted to Christianity in 1890, at the age of 23.

Viktor died in Vienna in October 1921, around his 54th birthday. Upon his death, his employer, Heinrich Sachs, published a death notice in the Neue Freie Presse that spoke in glowing terms of Viktor's skill and loyalty to the company. Viktor was buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof (not in the Jewish section) with Valeska Magaziner, presumably his wife, and two other women whose connection is unknown: Lucia Harazim and Anna Sturma. Valeska was born in 1865 and died in July 1935.

Erna Magaziner

Erna Magaziner was born on November 2, 1868 in Budapest. She converted to Christianity in December 1890 and was baptised as Emma Magaziner in January 1891.

Eugenie Magaziner (Jenni)

Jenni Magaziner was born in Budapest on on October 16, 1869. She died in Vienna on July 15, 1887, at the age of 17. The cause of death was listed in German as Rückenmarksdarre, which is a degenerative spinal condition, possibly tabes dorsalis, a complication of syphilis. She was buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof in a family plot with her father and brother Leon.

Leon Magaziner (Leo Levi)

Leo (Levi) Magaziner was born on December 6, 1870 in Budapest. In Vienna, he went by the name Leon. He worked as a clerk.

Leon committed suicide, shooting himself, on the second anniversary of his sister Eugenie's burial, July 17, 1889. He was 18 years old. He was buried in a family plot with Eugenie and their father at Wiener Zentralfriedhof.

Arthur Magaziner

Arthur Magaziner was born in Budapest on January 26, 1872. On October 29, 1899, Arthur married Melanie Stein in Pozsony. Melanie was born around 1876 in Hainburg. They had at least one child, Erna, but they may also be the parents of two other Magaziners who appear in the Vienna city directory: Alfred (probably the journalist) and Martha.

Melanie died in June 1916. Arthur died in May 1923, at the age of 51. They are buried together at Wiener Zentralfriedhof, the same cemetery as Adolf, Eugenie and Leon, but in a separate plot.

Children of Arthur Magaziner and Melanie Stein include:

1. Erna Magaziner (b: 1903)

Karl Maroti (Karoly Magaziner)

Karoly Magaziner was born in Budapest on March 25, 1873. He converted to Catholicism in 1890, under the name Karl Magaziner. In 1900, he changed his name to Maroti. He may be the Karl Maroti who appeared in a London census in 1901 (age 27, born in Austria).

On July 25, 1912, Karl married Janka Kamilia Müller in Berlin, Germany. Janka was born October 13, 1888. Karl used the name Károly Henrik István Maroti when he registered the marriage in Budapest in 1914. I have found no further records of Karl or Karoly Maroti.

Adele Magaziner

Adele Magaziner was born in Budapest on May 8, 1874. She died in January 1925 at the age of 50, still named Adele Magaziner so apparently she never married. She is buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof (not in the Jewish section) in the same grave with her sister Rosa.

Regina Magaziner

Regina Magaziner was born in Vienna on February 4, 1877. In 1907, she was living in Humenne when she came to America to visit her cousin, Emma Grun Rosenberg, who lived in New York. It is not clear whether she stayed in America. I have found no other records of her.

Pauline Magaziner Jozefi (Paula)

Pauline Magaziner was born in Vienna on September 9, 1881, the twin sister of Richard. On April 11, 1903, she married Rezsö Jozefi in Budapest. Her name appeared on the marriage record as Paula, but it does not appear that way anywhere else. Pauline's uncle David was a witness to the marriage. Rezsö was born in Temesvar, Hungary (now Timisoara, Romania) on September 24, 1880. Rezsö was Catholic. Pauline was still Jewish at the time of the marriage, but she converted to Christianity in Vienna in 1908.

Richard Magaziner

Richard Magaziner was born in Vienna on September 9, 1881, the twin brother of Pauline. He died in infancy in 1882.
