Henry and Cecelia Magaziner Magaziners of Humenne Updated 2/5/2012
Russian Magaziners

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. But even the most unlikely people seem to have some connection: I was sure that Lujza Magaziner, wasn't related, because she lived in a part of Hungary far from Humenne and her family did not have any of the recurring family names, but I recently found records indicating that she was born in Beregszasz (where Jozsef Magaziner's children were born) or Humenne.

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, Alfred (b. 08 Jan 1902 in Munich; d. 15 Dec 1993 in Vienna)
Alfred Magaziner was an Austrian journalist and a socialist. He was born in Munich and later lived in Vienna. He married a woman named Gertrude some time before 1936. When things became difficult for socialists in Austria, they moved to Yugoslavia and later to England. Alfred was sent from England to Australia for a time as an "enemy alien" during World War II. Later he returned to Austria. Alfred's wife Gertrude died in 1984. Alfred died in December 1993 and is buried with Gertrude at Sievering cemetery in Vienna.

I have no record of any other Magaziners in Germany. Alfred could be Arthur's son. Arthur married in Budapest in 1899 and had a daughter Erna in Vienna in 1903. From 1932 to 1936, an Erna Magaziner (possibly Arthur's daughter or sister) lived at the same address in Vienna where Alfred lived in 1925. There was also a Martha Magaziner at that address from 1929 to 1931, possibly a sister of Alfred and Erna. I assume they're related to each other, but I'm not sure how or if they're connected to the Magaziner tree.

Magaziner, Aug. (b. Abt. 1880)
A 7-year-old Aug. Magaziner appears in the immigrant ship manifest in the middle of our Magaziners: 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, Bindfeld Ilona (b. 1897, d. 1898)
Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest records the burial of a "Magaziner Bindfeld Ilona." There are other Magaziners buried in that cemetery, but there are no Magaziners buried anywhere near the location of her grave. It is not clear whose child she might be, or whether she is related. It is not even clear what the proper form of her name should be.
Magaziner, Carl (b. Abt. 1882)
A 5-year-old Carl Magaziner appears in the immigrant ship manifest in the middle of our Magaziners: 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. He is too young to be Adolf's son Karl Maroti (Karoly Magaziner), who was living in Vienna in 1890. This may be another 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 or abt. 1846, d. 12/1/1873)
Chaje Magaziner died in Humenne on 12/1/1873. She appears in the Humenne death registry, and the version I saw had photographs out of order, but her first page seemed to connect with a second page that gave her age as 6, which would put her birth in 1867. JewishGen recently transcribed this register, and said that her age was 27 and she was born in Muhle Helmecz, clearly working from a different second page. If the latter is correct, she would have been born in 1846, making her about the right age to be the Chaje below, but that Chaje was born in Humenne. If she is 27, Magaziner may be her married name, but I have no information about who her spouse is and no record of a Magaziner married to someone named Chaje. The death registry does not identify her parents or spouse or say whether she was married, neither the death registry I saw nor the one transcribed on JewishGen
Magaziner, Chaje (b. 20 Mar 1844)
The Humenne birth registry records the birth of a Chaje Magaziner. Her father is identified only by an initial, "Magaziner L" (or possibly "Magaziner S"). It seems unlikely that the father was Samuel, because he had a child in November 1842 and another in 1843 or 1844. She could not be Löwi's daughter, because his wife was much too old to be having children in 1844. I know of no other L or S Magaziner old enough to be her father. She could be the same person as the Chaje above.
Magaziner, Edit (b. 1910, d. 1920)
Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto in Budapest records the burial of an Edit Magaziner. She is possibly buried with Aurel Magaziner, son of Dr. Jozsef, though the record is not clear: it indicates that Aurel and his wife are buried in Plot 19, Row 21, Grave 17, while Edit is buried in Plot 19A, Row 21, Grave 17, but Plot 19A doesn't appear on the map and may be a transcription error. Edit was certainly the right age to be a child of Aurel (b. 1878) and his wife (b. 1881), but I have not yet found records to confirm that.
Magaziner, Ester (bore a child around 1847)
Ester Magaziner is listed as the mother of the bride in an 8/17/1864 Ujhely Hungary 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 which is probably her. The woman in the death record was 40 years old, born Humenne, living on the same street as in the death records for Löwi and Samuel's wife Sara, at a house number between Löwi and Sara's. If this is the right Ester Klein, then she is the right age to be a sister of Samuel (born 1813) and Anchell (who had a son in 1836).

Ester's daughter Johana Klein married Moritz Schon in Sátoraljaújhely, the same town where Emil spent his later years. Johana and Moritz appear to have had many children over the next 25 years: records for Luisa (b. 9/29/1865), Mali (b. 9/5/1868), Jakob (b. 8/17/1870; d. 10/25/1927 in New York), Armin (b. 8/28/1872), Samuel (b. 1/17/1875), Helen (b. 1/9/1877), Jeremias (b. 12/27/1878; d. 6/20/1880), Szeren (b. 11/1/1880), Adolf (b. 10/21/1882), Henrik (b. 9/29/1884), Dezso (b. 8/3/1887; d. 5/28/1888) and Erzsebet (b. 10/3/1889) all have parents with names consistent with this couple. The 1869 census shows Mor and Anna (Klein) Schon, probably this couple, with two daughters, Sina and Malvina, probably the first two children for whom there are birth records.

Moritz and Johanna's son Jakob emigrated to the United States in 1888 or 1889, where he was a jeweler by the name of Jacob Schoen. He married Dora Grossman and they had a daughter, Estelle (Stella) Schoen. Jacob died in New York on October 1927.

Magaziner, Ester (b. abt. 1835 in Humenne; d. 10/16/1883 in Humenne)
The Humenne registry records that an Ester Magaziner died in Humenne on October 16 at the age of 48. JewishGen's Hungarian database indicates that she died on October 16, 1883, and was born in Humenne, but I've seen the original record and that interpretation is not so clear to me. There are no column headings, and the year is not found anywhere on the page. The registry does not provide any other information, so it is not clear who her parents were, whether she was married, or whether Magaziner was a married name. This could be Samuel's third wife, Eszter Jacubovits, who died between 1869 (when she appeared in the Hungarian census) and 1890 (when Samuel died as a widower), though the census said she was born in Zeteny in 1830. No one else yet identified would match this Ester Magaziner's information.
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 probably Samuel's daughter Eszter, who was born in 1845, though there is no evidence of this other than the name and approximate age.
Magaziner, Fani (b. 1824 in Humenne; d. 5/8/1902 in Kassa)
Fani Magaziner was the wife of Simon Meisels and was born in Humenne in 1824, according to the 1869 Hungarian census and her 1902 Kassa death record. 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). The Leo Meisels who was a witness to Henry and Cecelia's wedding was probably Fani and Simon's son Leo, which suggests some connection between these two families, as does the recurring family name "Lajos." A Schaji Meisels, possibly Simon, was also a witness at the birth of Ansel Weinberger, son of Rezi Magaziner. Another Meisel (first name illegible) was a witness to the wedding of Adolf Magaziner and Johanna Neufeld. All of these connections strongly suggest a relationship. Fani was too old to be a child of Samuel and Anchell, so she is probably their sister, Henry's aunt. Simon and Fani's son Leo 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 surname 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.
Magasiner, Jacob (b. Abt. 1878)
A 15-year-old Jacob Magasiner arrived in New York on the Peruvian in Nov 1893. His native country and last residence are given as Austria. I have found no other evidence of him. The only Jacob Magaziners in America come from Russia and Poland. There were a couple of Jakob Magaziners in the family, but none of them are even close to this one's age. The "Magasiner" spelling is common among Magaziners in Britain, but I haven't connected any of those Magasiners to Austria.
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, 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 possibly be the same person as Dr. Jozsef Magaziner, but I have no evidence of that other than the rarity of the name and the title. Jozsef married a woman named Antonia in Budapest 8½ months before Chana was born, so the connection seems unlikely.
Magaziner, Lujza (bore children between 1883 and 1889)
Hungarian birth records show a Lujza (or Luiza) Magaziner as the mother of three children born in Szeged: Ilona Rivka Fischer (1885), Erno Fischer (1887) and Laszlo Fischer (1889). A marriage record shows her as the mother of Geza Fischer (1883), born in Bács-Bodrog. The father in all of these records is Lipot Fischer. One of the birth records says that Lujza was born in Homonna while another says she was born in Beregszasz, which suggests that she may be Jozsef's child. Certainly, there was an unusually long gap between Jozsef's marriage (1859) and the birth of his first child (1864), which might be explained by Lujza.
Magaziner, Martha (lived in Vienna 1929-1931)
A Martha Magaziner appears in the Vienna City Directory from 1929 to 1931 at the same address where Alfred Magaziner lived in 1925 and Erna Magaziner lived from 1932 to 1936. I assume they're related to each other, but I'm not sure how or if they're connected to the Magaziner tree. The Erna at this address could be Arthur Magaziner's daughter, who was born in Vienna in 1903, or possibly Arthur's sister.
Magasiner, Michael (lived in Berlin 1907-1936)
A Michael Magasiner appears in the Berlin City Directory from 1907 through 1936. He was described as an engineer (technik.) until 1916, andafter that time he is described as a storekeeper (kaufm.). Only two other Magasiners appear in that city directory in the 1900s: Dr. Matvei Magasiner, who appears from 1935 to 1938 and a Sophie Magasiner who appears only in the 1939 directory. Matvei was born in Kiev and emigrated to the United States in 1940. He is not connected to this tree. It is likely that Michael and Sophie are connected to Matvei, and are also not connected to this tree.
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. This is probably Emil's daughter, Ruchel, who was born in 1871 and lived in Ujhely in 1888. Ruchel probably was not yet married to Markusz Nagy by 1888. On the ship's manifest there are markings in a column for death in transit, but I'm not sure that column is being used as intended.
Magaziener, Rosa (bore a child in 1906)
An index of the Vienna Matrikel (Jewish birth/marriage/death registry) records the birth of an Ella Magaziener (possibly mistranscribed) to mother Rosa in 1906, probably out of wedlock, because no father's name is recorded in the index. The mother could be Adolf's daughter Rosa, who lived in Vienna and would have been 40 at the time of Ella's birth, though she apparently converted out of Judaism and her daughter's birth shouldn't be recorded in Jewish records. It could also be the Rosa Magaziner above, who travelled to America in 1888, though that Rosa has no known connection to Vienna, and may have died in 1888.
Magasiner, Sophie (lived in Berlin 1939)
A Sophie Magasiner appears in the Berlin City Directory in 1939. Only two other Magasiners appear in that city directory in the 1900s: Dr. Matvei Magasiner, who appears from 1935 to 1938 and Michael Magasiner who appears from 1907 to 1936. Matvei was born in Kiev and emigrated to the United States in 1940. He is not connected to this tree. It is likely that Michael and Sophie are connected to Matvei, and are also not connected to this tree.
