Hungary SIG #Hungary Re: Kasniercy or Kasnierey?? #hungary

Kaposmero was in Somogy county. There is a list of places in Somogy at
http://www.bogardi.com/gen/g146.shtml that includes Kaposmero in the Kaposvari
district but I donâ??t see anything on the list that looks like Kasniercy or
Kasnierey. I also searched the 1913 Gazetteer for place names starting with the
prefix â??Kasâ?? and didnâ??t see antying that might be a match.

Nyir means birch in Hungarian and there are quite a few places in Szabolcs county that include Nyir as a prefix but none appear to include â??nyirâ?? otherwise.

This all leads me to conclude that the place listed in the source is either incorrect or itâ??s not in Hungary.

Greetings,

A Sh'arit ha-pl'atah entry for one of my ancestors lists his birthplace as
Kasniercy. I have assumed this is an error in transcription or communication, as
I do not receive any hits on Google for such a place.

I have been under the impression he was born in Kaposmero, but perhaps I am
mistaken

An "Additional List of Buchenwald Survivors" notes his last known place as
Kasnierey, which I am also unable to identify. The only Google hits I get for this
spelling are other references to this record. Can anyone suggest the correct name
of a town in Hungary to which this might refer?

Thanks very much in advance,

Alicia Weiss
