Biography

Franciscus Koncz was married to Theresia Szabó, when she gave birth to their child Elisabetha on 18 October 1875 in Prädium Topolya. Godparents for Elisabetha's baptism one day later were Joannes Palatinus and Veronica Bakay (pleb.).^[1]

On 19 January 1877 their son Gregorius Colomannus Franciscus was born in Topolya as well. He was partially named after his godfather spanus (from Hungarian ispán ~ overseer) Colomanus Bogdánfy and his wife Theresia Cservan.^[2] Gregorius died, documented as Georgius, on 12 August 1877 in Istvánvölgy/Hajdusitz (currently: Hajdučica, Serbia).^[3]

Research notes

Earlier child

Since his daughter Therez Koncz was born around 1869 in Kádár,^[4] the couple might have lived there before moving to the Topolya area.

Death and potential wife

Death date was assumed based on conception of the last known child Gregor/Georg.

Terezia Szabo, the widow of Ferencz Koncz, died on 10 December 1889.^[5]

This means Franciscus probably died between April 1876 and December 1889.

His death was not found in the following church books:

• Nagygáj 1858-1885 (only checked index)
• Ürményháza 1873-1893 (only checked index)
• Ofsenita (1875-1891) (only checked index)
• Detta (March 1875-April 1885) => 1885-1889 still open
• Omor (March 1875-April 1885) => 1885-1889 still open
• Zichydorf (online family book doesn't contain any)
