Löwi Magaziner

Löwi Magaziner was the oldest person named "Magaziner" found in available records of Homonna, Hungary. I assume he was the father of brothers Anchell and Samuel, because he was the only person in the available records with that surname who was old enough to be their father. In addition, both Anchell and Samuel have descendants with names similar to "Löwi" who were born after Löwi's death: Samuel's son Löb (Albert), Henry's son Israel Löb, Emil's son Lövi, and Rezi's son Lövi Leanif (Lajos). Löwi was probably married to a woman named Lea. Lea Magaziner appears in the Homonna death registry around the same time as Löwi, is about the same age, and resided at the same address.

Löwi was born in Homonna around 1785. Lea was born around 1783. They probably married in the early 1800s. They had at least two sons. They may also be the parents of some of the other older Magaziners, whose relationship I cannot prove or disprove, particularly Fani (b. 1824), who married Simon Meisls and had many children; and Ester, who married Jakob Klein had had a daughter Johana (b. 1847).

Children of Löwi Magaziner and Lea include:

2. Anchell Magaziner (d: BEF 1853)
3. Samuel Israel Magaziner (b: 1813; d: 17 NOV 1890)

Generation #2

Anchell Magaziner (Antsil; Antsel; Anton)

I have found no record of the birth, marriage or death of Anchell Magaziner, but he is mentioned in several other records. Henry Magaziner's death record gives his father's name as Anchell, and variations on that name (Antsil; Antsel; Anton) appear as the father in the birth records of Emil, Miryam and Jakob, as the godfather on another record. He is the brother of Samuel, because Anchell's grandson Hugo married Samuel's granddaughter Sadie and the marriage record says they are second cousins.

Anchell apparently married twice. His son Henry's death record identifies his mother as Sarah Cooper, but his son Emil's mother is Sari (Schondel) Ganzfried. It is possible that they are the same woman, because the given name is similar and "Cooper" is obviously not the original Hungarian surname, but I assume they are two different women.

I have found no information about Sarah Cooper, other than the name, which as I said is clearly not the original Hungarian name. She was married to Anchell before 1836, when Henry was born. If she is not the same person as Sari (Schondel) Ganzfried, then she probably died before 1843, when Emil was born. Schondel was born in Ungvar around 1818. It is possible that she is related to famous rabbi Solomon Ganzfried, author of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, who was also from Ungvar and lived in Homonna for a time. It seems unlikely, though, that the very assimilated Magaziners would be marrying into the family of an Orthodox rabbi who spoke out against the Neologs (early Hungarian Reform Judaism).

Anchell died before 1853, when a widow named Schondel Magaziner married Nahum Weiszberg in Homonna. Nahum died on July 1, 1869. Schondel appears as a widow in the 1869 census under her maiden name, Sari Ganzfried, with children Emil Magaziner and Sofi Weiszberg. Schondel probably died before 1875, when Anchell's son Henry had a daughter named Scheindel (later known as Anna). Schondel may be the widow Seindel Weiszberg who is listed in the Homonna death registry on November 11, 1874, but that woman was reported born in Homonna and was reported to be a much older than Schondel.

Several of Anchell's grandchildren were named after him: Rezi's son Ansel Weinberger (b. 1856), Henry's son Anthony (b. 1862), and Emil's son Anthony (b. 1875).

Children of Anchell Magaziner and Sarah Cooper include:

4. Henry Magaziner (Heinrich, Henrik) (b: 3 JUL 1836; d: 22 JAN 1909)

Children of Anchell Magaziner and Sari (Schondel) Ganzfried include:

5. Emil Magaziner (Manuel) (b: 10 JAN 1843)
6. Miryam Magaziner (b: 8 AUG 1844)
7. Jakob Magaziner (b: 16 FEB 1846)

Samuel Israel Magaziner

Samuel (Samu; Israel) Magaziner was born in Humenne in 1813. He worked as a carpenter and a merchant. He married at least three times and had at least 13 children over the course of 35 years.

I assume he married Rozalia Rosenzweig first, at some time before 1833. Her name appears only as the mother on the death certificate for David Magaziner, but I assume she is also the mother of all of Samuel's children born before David.

Later Samuel married Sarah Katz, daughter of Rabbi Yitzchak Katz. Sarah was born around 1816. She died on March 10, 1856, and is buried in the cemetery in Humenne. Her name appears on Perl's birth record and Pauline's death record, and her tombstone identifies her as the wife of Shmuel Magaziner and the daughter of Rabbi Yitzchak Katz.

Finally Samuel married Eszter Jacubovits. Eszter was born in Zeteny in 1830. She appears with Samuel in the 1869 census. She is quite probably the same Eszter Magaziner, a married woman, who died in Humenne on October 16, 1883, though the information in that death record is not clear.

Samuel died as a widower in Humenne on November 17, 1890, at the age of 77.

Children of Samuel Magaziner and Rozalia Rosenzweig probably include:

8. Jozsef Magaziner (b: ABT 1833; d: 1890)
9. Adolf Magaziner (b: BET 1833 AND 1836; d: 9 OCT 1890)
10. Rezi Magaziner (b: 1835; d: 22 MAY 1870)
11. Johanna Magaziner (Hani) (b: APR 1839; d: BET 1905 AND 1915)
12. Isak Magaziner (b: 17 NOV 1842)
13. David Magaziner (b: 1843; d: 15 JAN 1911)

Children of Samuel Magaziner and Sarah Katz probably include:

14. Eszter Magaziner (b: 13 OCT 1845) (but this may be Pauline)
15. Pauline Magaziner (b: 15 MAR 1846; d: 31 JAN 1904)
16. Perl Magaziner (b: 17 AUG 1852) (but this may be Pauline)

Children of Samuel Magaziner and Eszter Jacubovits probably include:

17. Sara Magaziner (Sali) (b: 2 APR 1858; d: 20 JUN 1889)
18. Lajos Levi Magaziner (Louis) (b: 27 JUL 1860; d: 8 MAY 1939)
19. Albert Magaziner (Löb; Berti; Bertalan) (b: 4 SEP 1865)
20. Helena Magaziner (b: 1867)
