Kisvejke is actually Kisvejke in Tolna County, Hungary.
Maza is Maza (acute on 1st a) in Baranya County, Hungary. After 1945
Maza and Szaszvar (acutes on a-s) were united (Mazaszaszvar), however,
recently they got split. This info pertains to the parishes of the Roman
Catholic Church. Ethnic Germans in Hungary predominantly belong to the
Catholic Church (some of them to the Lutheran Church).

None of the two villages had their own parishes, instead, Kisvejke has
belonged to the parish of Lengyel, Maza had belonged to the parish of
Szaszvar before 1946.

Their geographical position can be observed on the map at:

Alas, pages on this server seem to be in Hungarian only :(

If you are willing to carry out a research, you will have to look into
the church registers first. They are available up to 1895 via the family
history centers of the Mormons throughout the world. Check out their
catalog for the locations Lengyel and Szaszvar.

Hope this helps.

All the best:

Radix.
