Hello,

Can anyone help translate the entry for the Klein family? Very interested in confirming the birthplaces of each family member.

Thank you very much!

5/18/2026 8:39 AM 1.1. Jakob Klein, male, born [1]827, Jewish ["Moses religion"], married, profession: teacher, employment: independent, birthplace: Hanusfalu, residency: [blank], presence/absence: absent over one month continuously, able to read and write.
2. Fani Grünfeld, female, 830, Jewish, his wife, day-laborer woman, with daily wage, Hanusfalu, local, [blank], able.
3. Markus Klein, male, 854, Jewish, unmarried, student, -, Nagy Sáros[?], local, [blank], able.
4. Joachim Klein, male, 857, Jewish, unmarried, student, -, Héthárs, local, [blank], able.
5. Ida Klein, female, 861, Jewish, maiden, -, -, Héthárs, local, [blank], unable to read or write.
6. Izsak Klein, male, 863, Jewish, unmarried, [blank], [blank], Héthárs, local, [blank], unable to read or write.
7. Jakob Klein, male, 865, Jewish, unmarried, [blank], [blank], Héthárs, local, [blank], unable to read or write.
8. David Klein, male, 867, Jewish, unmarried, [blank], [blank], Héthárs, local, [blank], unable to read or write.
2.1. Salamon Gajef, male, 799, Jewish, married, from charity, -, Poland, Szander[?], local, [blank], able.
2. Zali ", female, 809, Jewish, his wife, -, -, Jesztreb, local, [blank], unable.
3. Eszter Gajef, female, 849, Jewish, maiden, servant-woman, by yearly wage, Héthárs, [blank], absent, unable.

The placenames are all incredibly sloppily written. I'm reasonably certain of my reading for Hanusfalu and Jesztreb, and Héthárs is the only place in Sáros county that fits the H_th_ pattern, but the only part I'm sure of for Nagy Sáros is the Nagy ("big, greater"). (I did not explore Polish placenames to see what ending is most likely on Szande_.)

The enumerator appears to have used column 9a (residency: local) in place of column 11b (present over one month continuously).
