Dear Members,

In 1840, my greatgrandmother Szerena/Zali/Sari nee SCHWARCZ EISENBERG, daughter of Herman, was born in Patskanyosz Bereg Hungary.

Patskanove/Packanyosz is 4835 2236. It is about 10 miles NNW of Mukachevo. Are Patakos, Paks, Pats other names for Patskanove or different towns?

Thanks for your help,

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,
