About ten years ago I corresponded with the Reformed minister
in Nagyhalasz he asked the neighboring towns about this family
and nobody knew anything about them. There was a BAKO
family in a nearby town of Pazony that, according to the minister
was not related to my BAKOs. I can't find from where they came.
I have no idea who Rosa's family is.

Would anyone have an idea if she was Slovak or Polish? Her name
doesn't seem Hungarian. could it be Czec? I find it strange that
they married in a Catholic church, but baptised the children all
Reformed. Anyone else encounter this problem?
Been working on this for seventeen years.
Thanks, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
