Thank you so much. It looks like he was exempt from tuition fees because he was potentially a candidate for the priesthood. He was born in 1895 and started school in Szeged in 1908 so he would have be

Thanks, Rosina and Tibor, for your responses. My grandfather was the second oldest son so I guess he was the one for the church. I likely made an error with the tuition amount - I’ll have to check tha

Hi Tibor, I had asked this question before you joined the list and wonder if you could shed some light on this. I found a page on the Hungaricana website about Allami Klauzal Gimnazium in Szeged. It l

Hi Florian, Here’s the scan. It’s only one page. Kathy Kathy

Thanks, Flo. That explains my confusion! Kathy

Is there a family book for Chisoda Jud Timis (a town south of Temesvar)? I’m looking for the marriage record for Ignatz Lipsky and Rosa Hertz and birth records for their son and daughter. Thanks, Kath

Thanks, Eddie. I emailed my request this morning and will see how it goes. Kathy

I’ll give it a try! Kathy

It looks like Ung County may have been his last stop before going to Russia with the army and being captured. My father only remembers that his father was captured later in the war and had to walk for
