I am researching the following names Christ, Kriszt, Limberger, Fisher,
Minch, Yekel and Hok. Most are out of Mekenyes, in Baranya Megye Hungary.

Below is more information on the families:

Anna Marie Yekel
Marriage Record to Conrad Christ
but she was married before and divorced on Feb 14, 1918
due to desertion, no name given for her first husband but family believes it
might have been Hoffman

Anyone got any clues on these family names? Any help would be appricated!

Thanks
