Henry and Cecelia Magaziner Magaziners of Humenne Updated 3/7/2010

Other Magaziners

The Hungarian Magaziners and their descendants listed on the Descendant Tree and Collateral Lines include the overwhelming majority of Hungarian Magaziners I've found in Hungarian and American records. There are many Magaziners of Russian or Polish ancestry in the States, but these are the only ones that I can trace back to Hungary.

There are still a few Hungarian Magaziners that I have not yet managed to link to the tree. Some of them are rather clearly related, even though I haven't documented how, such as Fani Magaziner Meisels, who was born in Humenne, whose children have some common family names, and whose husband and son appear as witnesses at the birth or wedding of known relatives. On the other hand, Lujza Magaziner, who comes from a part of Hungary far from Humenne and whose family does not have any of the recurring family names, may not be related.

I have listed below all of the Magaziners I have found that I have not yet been able to connect and everything I know about them. If you know anything about these other Magaziners, or other Magaziners who have their origins in Austria/Hungary/Slovakia (not Russia or Poland), please email me!

Magaziner, Adolf (fathered a child b. 1867)
Budapest birth records show seven children born to Adolf Magaziner and Janka Neufeld: Bela (10/15/1867), Erna (11/2/1868), Jenni (10/16/1869), Leo (12/6/1870), Arthur (1/26/1872), Karoly (3/25/1873) and Adele (5/8/1874). Bela is possibly the Magaziner Béla (1871 - 1916) buried at the Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest. The total lack of familiar names and the early date that they appeared in Budapest makes me suspect that this family may be unrelated. I have found nothing to connect them to Humenne. On the other hand, there is an Adolf Magaziner in Budamest in 1876 listed as the witness on the birth record of Mano Grun, son of Johanna "Hani" Magaziner and Leopold Grun. Of course, I haven't connected Johanna yet either, but she is a very likely member of the family.
Magaziner, Aug. (b. Abt. 1880)
A 7-year-old Aug. Magaziner appears in the immigrant ship manifest in the middle of our Magaziner: below Heinr. (Henry) and Hanni (Anna) and above Wilh. (William), Netty (Nellie) and Zieli (Cecelia). He is a bit too young to be Louis, and much too young to be Anthony or Hugo, so this does not appear to be one of Henry and Cecelia's children. This may be a relative who was traveling with them, or it may be an unrelated child who was mistakenly listed as a Magaziner. I have found no evidence of an Aug. Magaziner in America.
Magaziner, Carl (b. Abt. 1882)
A 5-year-old Carl Magaziner appears in the immigrant ship manifest in the middle of the Magaziner family that is the subject of this site: below Heinr. (Henry) and Hanni (Anna) and above Wilh. (William), Netty (Nellie) and Zieli (Cecelia). He is a bit too young to be Louis, and much too young to be Anthony or Hugo, so this does not appear to be one of Henry and Cecelia's children. This may be a relative who was traveling with them, or it may be an unrelated child who was mistakenly listed as a Magaziner. I have found no evidence of a Carl Magaziner in America who was born before 1900.
Magaziner, Chaje (b. abt. 1867, d. 12/1/1873)
A six-year-old Chaje Magaziner died in Humenne on 12/1/1873. She appears in the Humenne death registry, but I have found no other information about her and have no other information connecting her to this tree. The death registry does not identify her parents. This is a different person than Samuel's daughter Chaje, who was born in 1845.
Magaziner, David (b. 1843; m. 11/17/1872; d. 1911)
On 11/17/1872, 30-year-old David Magaziner married Ilke Butler in Budapest. His parents' names are not mentioned in the marriage record, which is unusual. David and Ilke had four children whose births were recorded in Budapest: Anna (1/20/1874), Elza (6/23/1875), Jeno (4/25/1880) and Renee (2/19/1884). Jeno and Renee's birth records specifically mention that their father was born in Humenne. This fact, combined with the fact that two of these children have the same name as known Magaziner relatives born at about the same time, strongly suggests a family connection, but there is no direct evidence of a link. David is the right age to be a brother or cousin of Henry, but Samuel had a son named Isak in 1842, so he is more likely a son of Anchel or some other unknown person. A David Magaziner is listed as an "agent" in Budapest in an 1888 Hungarian almanac. David Magaziner also appears in the 1891 Industry and Trade Directory of Hungary in a list of stockbrokers in Budapest. David and his wife (identified as Ilona) are buried together at the Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest. David's interment record says he was born in 1843 (consistent with his age in his marriage record) and died in 1911. Son Jeno is probably the Magaziner Jenõ (1878-1964) who is buried at the Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest with wife Salgó Ella (1888 - 1963).
Magaziner, Ester (bore a child around 1847)
Ester Magaziner Klein is listed as the mother of the bride in an 8/17/1864 Hungarian marriage record. Ester's husband, father of the bride, is Jakob Klein. Their daughter, bride Johana Klein, was 17 years old at the time of the marriage, and was born in Humenne. Given the approximate date of Johana's birth, Ester may be a bit old to be Henry's sister, but could be an aunt or a cousin. There is an 1851 death record for an Ester Klein, age 40, which may or may not be her. If this is her, she is the right age to be a sister of Samuel (born 1813) and Anchell (who had a son in 1836), and she lived on the same street as Löwi. Johana Klein married Moritz Schon in Sátoraljaújhely, the same town where Emil spent his later years, so there is likely a connection between these two Magaziners. Johana and Moritz appear to have had many children over the next 25 years: birth records for Luisa (b. 9/29/1865), Mali (b. 9/5/1868), Jakob (b. 8/17/1870), Armin (b. 8/28/1872), Samuel (b. 1/17/1875) Helen (b. 1/9/1877), Jeremias (b. 12/27/1878), Szeren (b. 11/1/1880), Adolf (b. 10/21/1882), Henrik (b. 9/29/1884), Dezso (b. 8/3/1887) and Erzsebet (b. 10/3/1889) all have parents with names consistent with this couple. The 1869 census shows Mor and Anna (Klein) Schon shown with two daughters, Sina and Malvina, probably the first two children for whom there are birth records.
Magaziner, Eszti (b. 1844)
Eszti Magaziner Lange appears in the 1869 Hungarian census with Moritz Lange (b. 1837, presumably her husband) and Hainrich Lange (b. 1869, presumably her son). They are living in Nagy-Milhaly, located in the same Zemplen district as Humenne and Sátoraljaújhely, and are probably connected. Eszti is the right age to be a sister or cousin of Henry.
Magaziner, Fani (b. 1824 in Humenne; d. 5/8/1902 in Kassa)
Fani Magaziner Meisels appears in a Kassa, Hungary death record. She was 78 years old, born in Humenne and the widow of Simon Meisels. This is undoubtedly the same woman who appeared in the 1869 census, transcribed as "Sain(?) Magaziner," born in Humenne in 1824 and the wife of Simon Meisls. The census showed that the couple had five children: David (b. 1844), Vilmos (b. 1847), Leo (b. 1852), Johana (b. 1855) and Lajos (b. 1862). A Leo Meisels is listed in Henry and Cecelia's wedding registry as a witness to the marriage, which suggests some connection between these two families, as does the recurring family name "Lajos." A Schaji Meisels, possibly Simon, is the witness at the birth of Ansel Weinberger, son of Rezi Magaziner, another connection. A Leo Meisels, certainly Fani's son, married Hermina Altmann in Kassa 12/5/1880.
Magaziner, Hani (b. abt. 1839, m. 8/17/1858)
Hani Magaziner, age 19, married Josef Kalman on 8/17/1858, according to the Humenne marriage registry. Her father's name is recorded as Schändl Ziner (though the bride's surname is listed as Magazi- ner). Hani could be a cousin of Henry, but I have no records connecting her to the family and no other records of any Schändl Magaziner (unless that is an alternate name for Samuel, who fathered children born before and after Hani).
Magaziner, Hani (bore a child around 1860)
In a 5/13/1884 Hungarian marriage record on JewishGen.org, "Hani Maganzoh" is listed as the mother of bride Regina Goldstein. This is likely a misreading of "Magaziner." The bride-daughter, Regina, was 24 years old, which fits well with the marriage date of 8/17/1858 for Hani Magaziner and Josef Kalman (above), but the father of the bride in this record is Mor Goldstein. These two Hanis could be relatives named for the same common relative, or they could be the same person, whose husband died shortly after the marriage leaving Hani to remarry quickly to Mor Goldstein. Regina Goldstein married Emannuel Zonenschein (or Sonnenschein), and they had four children born in Miskolc: Elza (b. 27 Dec 1886), Helena (b. 22 May 1891), Dezso (b. 16 Jul 1892, changed name to Spanyi in 1916), and Erno (b. 18 Aug 1893, d. 31 Dec 1893). Elza is probably the Polacsek Lajosné Sonnenschein Elza (Elza Sonnenschein, wife of Lajos Polacsek, 1886-1968) who is buried at the Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest.
Magaziner, Joh. (b. Abt. 1881)
A 6-year-old Joh. Magaziner appears in the immigrant ship manifest in the middle of the Magaziner family that is the subject of this site: below Heinr. (Henry) and Hanni (Anna) and above Wilh. (William), Netty (Nellie) and Zieli (Cecelia). He is a bit too young to be Louis, and much too young to be Anthony or Hugo, so this does not appear to be one of Henry and Cecelia's children. This may be a relative who was traveling with them, or it may be an unrelated child who was mistakenly listed as a Magaziner. I have found no evidence of a Joh. Magaziner in America.
Magaziner, Johanna "Hani" (b. May 1839)
Birth and marriage records from Kassa and Budapest include a number of children of Leopold Grun and Johanna or Hani Magaziner. These children were: Kornelia Sara (b. abt. 1858, m. 11/28/1880 to Izidor Erdelyi), Ludwig (b. 12/4/1862), Isidore (b. 6/30/1864), Emma (b. abt. 1869, m. 6/3/1888 to Lipot Frigyes Rosenberg), Terez (b. 5/18/1871) and Mano (b. 9/3/1873, d. 3/20/1876). Daughter Emma and her husband Lipot had three children: Elza/Elsie (b. May 1889), Oden/Edwin (b. July 1890) and Gisela (b. July 1891). Emma and her family emigrated to America in 1896. Johanna joined them a few years later and appears with Emma's family in Manhattan in the 1900 census. I have found a considerable amount of information on Emma's descendants in America, but I have not yet been able to connect this family to Henry Magaziner. Johanna is the right age to be a sister or cousin (three years younger than Henry). Johanna's family names (other than Johanna/Hani) are not found in known relatives, and I would discount this connection except that daughter Emma's marriage certificate indicates that she was born in Homonna. In addition, Johanna is in Kassa, the same city where Fani Magaziner Meisels of Humenne died and Fani's son Leo Meisels married, so there may be some connection. Johanna is the same age as the Hani Magaziner who married Joseph Kalman in 1858, but that is probably a different person because this Johanna's daughter Kornelia Sara was born at about the same time as that other marriage, unless there is something more complicated here that is not apparent in the records.
Magaziner, Dr. Jona (fathered a child born 7/18/1860)
Dtr. Jona Magaziner was the father of a child, Chana, born on 7/18/1860, according to the Humenne birth registry. The child's mother was named Zilli. Jona could be a brother or cousin of Henry, but there is no evidence confirming that. I have found no other records of this person. He could be the same person as Dr. Jozsef Magaziner, who fathered children in Beregszasz between 1864 and 1877, but I have no evidence of that other than the rarity of the name and the title.
Magaziner, Dr. Jozsef (born in Homonna; fathered children between 1864 and 1877)
Dr. Jozsef Magaziner was was identified in the Beregszasz birth records for Rosa (b. May 1864), Ilona (b. 9 Jun 1868), Baroch (b. 7 Aug 1870) and Aurel (b. 19 Feb 1877). Jozsef is also identified as the father of bride Roza Magaziner age 24, in a Budapest marriage record on 5/20/1888. I had initially discounted the likelihood of a relationship, because Beregszasz (now Berehove, Ukraine) is far from Homonna. However, I recently found Aurel's birth record, which says that Jozsef was born in Homonna, so there is likely a connection. All of these records identify Jozsef as a doctor and identify his wife as Antonia Neufeld. Jozsef was a physician, according to Aurel and Rosa's birth records. He was also apparently an award-winning vintner, winning awards in an 1880 wine exhibition in Beregszasz. Wife Antonia Neufeld is probably the Magaziner Antónia (1838 - 1901) who is buried at the Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest, though there is no burial record for Jozsef in that cemetery. Jozsef may be Henry's brother or cousin. "Jozsef" may be an alternate name for Dr. Jona Magaziner above, who had a child in Homonna a few years before Rosa was born, though the mother's name for that child was different. The name Aurel Magaziner appears in Budapest grammar school records for the school year 1887-1888, the same time that older sister Rosa was getting married in Budapest. A Magaziner Aurel (1878 - 1945) is buried at the Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest with his wife (1881 - 1959).
Magaziner, Lujza (bore a child in 1885)
A Hungarian birth record shows a Lujza Magaziner as the mother of Ilona Rivka Fischer, born in Szeged. The father is Lipot Fischer. The unfamiliarity of the names and the remoteness of this city from Humenne makes me suspect that this family may be unrelated. I have found nothing to connect them to Humenne.
Magaziner, Regina (b. Abt. 1877)
Regina Magaziner appears in a Hamburg passenger manifest in March, 1907. She was 30 years old, single, and from Homonna Nagy. She arrived in New York a week later, and was supposed to meet an uncle named Rosenberg. Apparently, he did not meet her at Ellis Island, and she was detained for a day, then released to her cousin, Emma Rosenberg. This cousin is Emma Grun Rosenberg, the daughter of Johanna "Hani" Magaziner and Leopold Grun, who married Lipot Frigyes Rosenberg in Budapest in 1888. The 1900 census shows Emma Rosenberg at the same address shown in this immigration record, living with her mother, Johanna Grun. This all very neatly ties together Regina and Johanna: Johanna, whose maiden name was Magaziner, is the sister of Regina's father or paternal grandfather. However, I have not yet connected either Regina or Johanna to this tree! Because Regina is from the Homonna area, she is probably connected to the family, and her name is one that occurs in the family, but I have no record of who her parents might be. I can find no record of her in America after her arrival.
Magaziner, Regina (bore a child in 1906)
Regina Magaziner is the mother of Hungarian sculptor Klára Weiss Herczeg. Klára was born in Budapest on 10/13/1906, the daughter of Regina Magaziner and Adolf Weiss. In 1936, Klára married Hungarian businessman László Herczeg. Klára died on 8/6/1997. This Regina is probably not the same Regina Magaziner above who traveled to New York in 1907, because that Regina was described as single and living in Homonna Nagy in March 1907, five months after Klára was born in Budapest. However, they could be related to each other and named for a common ancestor. I have no evidence of any connection to Homonna or to the family, but there were other relatives and other Homonna Magaziners living in Budapest by 1906.
Magaziner, Rosa (b. Abt. 1871; d. Oct. 1888?)
Rosa Magaziner appears in an immigrant ship's manifest from Hamburg, Germany to New York City in October, 1888. The manifest indicates that she is a 17-year-old single woman from Ujhely in Hungary. Ujhely is an alternate name for Sátoraljaújhely. It is possible that this is another alternate name for Emil's daughter, Ruchel/Roza/Racher, who was born in 1871 and lived in Ujhely. It is likely that Ruchel/Roza/Racher was not yet married to Markusz Nagy in 1888. However, the ship's manifest appears to indicate that Rosa died in transit, which of course would mean it is not the same woman. I am not certain that I am interpreting the death-in-transit marking correctly.
Magaziner, Serena (b. Abt. 1873)
A Serena Magaziner appears in an immigrant ship's manifest from Hamburg, Germany to New York City in September, 1889. The manifest indicates that she is a 16-year-old single woman from Ujhely in Hungary. Ujhely is an alternate name for Sátoraljaújhely, the town where Emil Magaziner was an inkeeper and where Ester Magaziner's daughter Johana Klein married Moritz Schon. It is possible that she is Sali, the daughter of Emil Magaziner and Etelka Balkany who was born in 1873. The ship's manifest appears to indicate that she died in transit.
Magaziner, Serena (b. 1880s)
A Serena Magaziner appears in a Philadelphia marriage index record in 1906. She married Isaac Schwartz. The 1910, 1920 and 1930 census record for Isaac Schwartz with wife Serena and children Ruth and Anthony indicates that Serena and her parents were born in Austria or Hungary, and that she was born in 1880, 1882 or 1887. Her 1921 passport indicates that she was born in Ujhely on 8/10/1881 and came to America in 1897. Whatever her birth year, she is much too young to be the Serena in the New York ship manifest. It is likely, however, that she is related to our Magaziners, because there were no other Magaziners in Philadelphia at the time.
