I am about going bonkers trying to find the birth place of my great grandfather, Daniel Bako. I'm leaving out the marks over his name so it will print. He married my great grandmother Rozalia Grofcsik 18 Nov 1876 in Kemecse, Szabolcs, Hungary. He was Reformed and she was Greek Catholic. They resided in Nagyhalasz, Szabolcs from 1877 to 5 Aug 1891 when he died. They had five sons with only one surviving infancy. The surviving son was Geza, born 4 Oct 1878, my grandfather. Geza came to America after marrying my grandmother Rozalia Semsei in Tiszadada, Szabolcs. Daniel and Rozalia never came to America. She disappeared after Daniel died. No remarriage, no death found in Nagyhalasz. Nick Gombash and I have been working on microfilms from Gava and Berczel where there were a zillion Bako families, but so far we haven't found Daniel who was born about 1845 according to the age on his marriage record. What I am wondering is, do people who have occupations need a license or permit from the town/county to work? Daniel Bako was a tailor. I found him listed on the Radix site for Industry and trade directory of Hungary, 1891. If so, where would I write to get the complete information from that. Just maybe it might give his place of birth. A lot of the information on the FHL microfilms do tell place of birth, but unfortunately what I have found on my people did not. His wife, Rozalia is a mystery as well. I have a second cousin who is going to Hungary and would like to find some information, but with all the research I've done since the early 1980's has come up empty and it is a major brick wall. Any help would be so gratefully appreciated. Sharon
