Austro-Hungarian empire. The *diacritics* are very important for a reliable search. For example, Surte could be Su:rte with an umlaut on the 'u' and this makes quite a difference in searching gazetteers and similar sources. Now to the question Szatmar (with an acute accent on the second a - Szatma'r) is today in Romania and called Satu Mare. I couldn't find Surte. Regards, Tom Venetianer Anna Salamonowitz was >from Surte Austria | Hungary and Morris Meirwitz came >from Sztmar Austria Hungary. |
