I have been reviewing records of my family from Malcov. I have a question regarding the way the names are listed in the records. I will use my GGF for an example. The record lists him as Georgius Petrik (hrabcsan). His father was Petrik and his mother was GRES. What does this other name mean? When he came to America, he is listed as this name in ( ) in the census. I thought it was his "real" surname and Petrik was a name he picked up as an "American" name. Then, I found his baptism (and marriage) record with it listed as above. At first I thought....ok, this is his mom's maiden name. Nope, his mom's maiden name is GRES! I am stumped! This reference is made with all his siblings also. I have not made if far enough back yet to see what the records say for his parents births. I do notice that in many of the birth records for this town, they have more than 1 name, either hyphenated or in brackets, that do not match the parents. In my other line, my GGM's, it is also done but it is the maiden name of their mother. I have also noticed in (some) of the entries, they interchange which name is put first. Appreciate ANY input! Thanks Jean
