On the Ellis Island list I am finding a Mihaly Boczkay came from Miskoloy in 1892 and a Gyria Bocskay came from Meucshely in 1903. I am wondering if these two are the same town and what it might be. I am hoping for something in Szepes. Donna

I can't find the spellings you provided, nor can I find something close.

I don't see any village in Slovakia that has a comparable name back then. Put the village names into http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm And you will get some phonetic matches in Ukraine:MATSKULY MOSKALI Sorry, no Szepes county.
