i'm not an expert on the munkacs area, but "patskanyosz" looks like a ukranian name (or at least mostly not hungarian). "packanyosz" looks like a hungarian spelling of the same name. "paks" is a completely different place (4638 1852) on the hungarian side of the border, and "patakos", which sounds like it should be a nice hungarian place name, is not listed at all in the jewishgen shtetlseeker.

the radix 1882 gazetteer of hungary (http://www.bogardi.com/gen/g104.shtml) lists "patkanyoc" in the munkacs district of bereg megye. (select the "bereg" page, and then use your browser's search function.)

the radix 1913 gazetteer (http://www.radixindex.com/cgi-bin/hn1913.cgi) lists a "patakos" in the munkacs area. it maps the town's location, but unfortunately it doesn't give the coordinates.

for what it's worth,
