According to a listing on JewishGen of "Towns Represented in 1869
Saros Census Films of Jewish Records"
<http://www.jewishgen.org/hungary/Data/Saros/1869%20SAROS%20JEWS%20in%20Towns.htm>
a town called Palocsa was in the same district (Felso Tarcza) as
Berzevicze. Perhaps this was "Palotza." (It wouldn't be the first time
that country of origin was wrong on an emigration or arrival record!)

The current name of Palocsa is Plavec and Berzevicze is Brezovica nad
Torysou. Both towns are in Slovakia -- about 8 miles >from each other
"as the crow flies" and about 17 miles by car.

Slovakia makes sense because in the all-citizen Hungary census of
1869, they are found in Berzevicze.>>

Moderator: Thanks, Renee! That's what we've concluded.
