See <a href="https://jewishgenealogyjourney.blogspot.com/2016/01/sympathy-saturday-adolf-handlers-death.html" rel="nofollow">Adolf Handler's Death Record</a>. I appreciate the additional information!Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-40682506253693079532017-02-18T04:29:35.344-05:002017-02-18T04:29:35.344-05:00Ilok (or Ujlaki) in Hungarian, was in the Serbian ...Ilok (or Ujlaki) in Hungarian, was in the Serbian speaking part of the former Hungarian Kingdom,now it is located in Croatia. People mostly spoke Coation and Serbian, so how come Joseph (Jozsef) spoke Slovak? Probably he was born in the northern part of Hungary, where most of the population did speak Slovak, which points the oorogon of the Handler family to Felvidek (highlands or oberland).gujlakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753550301456623122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-35295293683193148412011-07-14T13:34:54.972-04:002011-07-14T13:34:54.972-04:00Thank you Philip for your comment.

Based on what I can see, it does look like Joseph spoke Slovak and Lina spoke Magyar and their eldest son spoke Slovak, though as a toddler, he was possibly multi-lingual until after he was in the U.S. for good after 1916.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-16862865865195733542011-07-13T09:34:50.205-04:002011-07-13T09:34:50.205-04:00Glad I inspired your post Elizabeth.

It's a great post and I found it very interesting.<br /><br />One point of interest you didn't mention was that Joseph was listed as speaking Slovak and Lina as speaking Magyar, and the native language of their son was listed as Slovak which would probably indicate that he was born in Ilok (where they spoke Slovak) and not Bonyhád (where they spoke Magyar). It's not a perfect way to determine that kind of information, but if you have other evidence that kind of information can help confirm it.Philip Trauringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783880008685868921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-14073229341894091592011-07-12T13:13:30.670-04:002011-07-12T13:13:30.670-04:00Wow, you've learned so much from these records...Wow, you've learned so much from these records!Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.com
