Well, Liz,

the names do 'sound' German, though the spellings aren't quite
right; but that can be attributed to Hungarian spelling variations of
German names.

Can't see much congruity between Zeiner and Csernye though. Have no
idea how that could have came about, if in fact they are about the same
family.
