David Magaziner was born in Humenne in 1843, the son of Samuel Magaziner and Rozalia Rosenzweig. He worked as a stock broker with the firm of Garai and Magaziner in Budapest.

On November 17, 1872, David married Ilke (Ilona) Buchler in Budapest. She was born in 1852. David and Ilke had at least four children in Budapest.

David died of stomach cancer on January 15, 1911, at the age of 68. He was buried at Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto. Ilke died in 1920, and is buried beside him at Kozma Utca.

Generation #4

Anna Magaziner Auspitz Feiks

Anna Magaziner was born in Budapest on January 20, 1874. Anna first married Gyula Auspitz in Budapest on October 8, 1893. Gyula was born in 1862 in Soroksar. The marriage didn't last; it was dissolved in 1899.

She then married Jeno Feiks at some time before her father's death in 1911. I don't know if her husband is the famous cartoonist and painter (also known as Eugen Feiks, which is how the husband's name appeared in David's obituary in the Neue Freie Presse). The painter was close to Anna's age and lived in Budapest at the time, but I don't know if the painter even had a wife.

I have found no record of Anna after 1911.

Elza Magaziner Mahler Fenyo

Elza Magaziner was born on June 23, 1875 in Budapest. Elza first married Gusztav Mahler on May 26, 1895 in Budapest. Gusztav is definitely not the famous composer. Elza's husband was born on September 4, 1866 in Budapest, the son of Simon Mahler and Maria Bohm. They had a daughter. I do not know how this marriage ended.

By 1911, when her father David died, Elza was remarried to Sandor Fenyo (also known as Alexander G. Fenyo). Sandor worked for Norddeutschen Lloyd, a German shipping company. Elza and Sandor were living in Vienna from as early as 1915. Sandor was the General Representative for Austria at Norddeutschen Lloyd when he retired around 1930.

Elza was still married to Sandor when she took a trip to the United States in 1924 (under the name Elisabeth Fenyo), using her cousin Emma as her contact in America. Her contact in Europe was her daughter from her first marriage, Erna.

Sandor died around June 1930, shortly after retiring from Norddeutschen Lloyd. His obituary does not say whether Elza survived him. I have found no record of Elza after her 1924 trip to America. The Vienna city directory shows a person named Emma Fenyo at Sandor's address for a few years after his death, but it's not clear if this was Elza or someone else.

Children of Elza Magaziner and Gusztav Mahler include:

1. Erna Mahler (b: 28 APR 1896)

Jeno Magaziner

Jeno Magaziner was born on April 25, 1878 in Budapest. He married Ella Salgo. Ella was born in 1888. I have found no record of whether Jeno and Ella had children. Ella died in 1963 and was buried at Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto. Jeno died in 1964 and was buried with her at Kozma Utca.

Renee Maria Magaziner Gabor

Renee Magaziner was born on February 19, 1884 in Pest, Hungary. She converted to Catholicism at some point, but she later married a Jewish man, opera singer Jozsef Istvan Gabor.

Renee married Jozsef on July 16, 1907 in Budapest. Jozsef was born on October 15, 1879 in Balassagyarmat. One of the witnesses to the marriage was Izidor Erdelyi of Vienna, probably the husband of Renee's cousin Cornelia. It is interesting that they remained so close 15 years after Cornelia's death, and apparently after Izidor's remarriage.

I have found no record of whether Renee and Jozsef had children. Jozsef died in Iliasov, Slovakia on May 14, 1929. He is buried at Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest. I have found no record of when Renee died, but she does not appear to be buried with Jozsef.

Generation #5

Erna Mahler Koczor

Erna Mahler was born in Budapest on April 28, 1896. She married Gyula Koczor in Budapest on June 28, 1921. Her name appeared in the marriage registry as Ernesztina Maria Ilona Mahler, but her name appears in the signature block as Erna Mahler. Erna was identified in the marriage registry as Catholic, though it's not clear when her conversion occurred. Erna's husband, Gyula, was born in Szeged on July 29, 1889. He worked as a bank clerk. He is apparently not the same person as the Czech politician of the same name, because the politician was born on a different date (10 Oct 1890). Gyula and Erna were living at the Hotel Bristol in Budapest in 1924, when Erna's mother Elza used Erna as a contact on a ship manifest to New York. I have found no record of Erna after the reference in the ship manifest.

Lilly, Tamas and Zsuzsa

David's death notice indicates that he is survived by four grandchildren: Lilly, Erna, Tamas (Thomas) and Zsuzsa (Susi), but does not give their surnames nor indicate which child goes with which parents. Erna is known to be Elza's daughter by first husband Gustav Mahler, but I have not yet identified the others.
