I just discovered that my GGFs family emigrated to Slatinik-Drenjski (Croatia) from Nagocs. It seems that around the time of this move they changed their surname from Schmidt to Kovac. Can someone look for the Schmidt family? Or send me the info? Not sure how this works... Thank you! Sent from my iPhone

Your subject line references the Heimatbuch de Nordschomodei ---- I have that book. Both names refer to the profession of blacksmith - Schmidt in German and Kovac in Hungarian. What time period are you looking at? And do you have any specific names or dates of birth, marriages, deaths? This would help me zero in on what to look up. My German is so-so, so if I find something that looks useful that I can't completely understand, I'll post it for someone else to help translate. I know there are other Nord-Schomodei researchers on the list. I am related to Schmidts from Ecseny, which is about 20 km south of Nagocs. They are lutheran or reformed, can't remember which. What are your Schmidts? I also have Ferdinand Hengl's book for Somogy County which is census connected with the churches of the area.
