9/23/2026 9:23 AM 84. 1. Salam. Brichta, male, born 1809, Jewish, married, occupation place's Kosher butcher, employment -, birthplace Trencs. Puchow, remarks: homeowner Hersch. Weisz.
2. his wife Maria Kornblüh, female, 1858 (sic!), Jewish, married, -, -, Trenchin Wisnyow
3. Örzse his/her daughter, female, 1835, Jewish, single, -, employment: due to her condition, sickly with her parents Trencsin Láz
4. Simon his/her son, male, 1837, Jewish, single, -, ditto sickly, Trencsin Láz
5. Hani girl, female, 1852, Jewish, single, -, with her parents, Elefánt
6. Theréz girl, female, 1858, Jewish, single, -, with her parents, Elefánt
7. Karolin girl, female, 1860, Jewish, single, -, with her parents, Szelezsin

(The difference between _leánya_ "his/her daughter" and _leány_ "girl" is one letter at the end, so line 5 is probably just abbreviating slightly. Lines 6 and 7 actually have "ditto".)

All seven people have a "1" labeled with their gender in the "residency foreign" and the "absent over one month" columns; the latter especially clearly shows that the entries are in the wrong columns.
All seven people have "can" written across the read-and-write columns.

Birthplaces:
Trencsén county:
Puchó, later Puhó, now Púchov, Slovakia
Visnyó, later Felsővisnyó, now Višňové, part of Žilina, Slovakia
Laáz, later Láz, now Lazy pod Makytou, Slovakia

Nyitra county:
Alsó- or Felső-Elefánt, now Dolné Lefantovce and Horné Lefantovce, Slovakia

Bars county
Kis- or Nagy-Szelesény, later Felső- and Alsószelezsény, now Dolné Sľažany and Horné Sľažany, Slovakia. (The way it's written, it ought to be local, i.e. Nyitra county, but there's nothing remotely close there, and Szelesény is only about 10 miles from Elefánt, as the crow flies.)
