I have found a puzzlement in the Visk Church Records

I have a Keresztesi Mikaly listed in 1716
no other mention of any similar name until 1762
a Kereszturi Mikaly

Could this be the same family.... Could it be a typo......

My wifes family was Kereszturi could they originally have been
Keresztesi.

I have looked in the US census records and both names appear

sorry US Social Security Records:

Kereszturi about 15 names
Keresturi about 3 names
Keresztesi about 3 names
Kerestesi 2 names

My wifes Kereszturi family a few dropped the Z so it is
understandable with the other spelling too.

About 60% of the Kereszturi family in the US comes from
Maramoros, Visk they settled in Chicago and Missouri Valley Iowa

another 30% of the Kereszturi Family came from now Romania
and there family took on the spouses name of Kereszturi.
The husbands name pre 1848 was Nagy. They now live in Indiana
and Canada.

There is a third major Kereszturi family in Ohio and Pa but their
origin is not certain.

My wifes family is from Visk.

Back to my original question was the name change from Keresztesi to
Kereszturi possible.....

Thanks in advance

Ron
