I would like as complete as possible a translation of this page from the 1869 Hungary census for two Berkovits families of Natafalva, Hungary (now Nacina Ves, Slovakia), living in the same house. This document has been indexed in the JewishGen database of the census, but the index only contains names and birth years. I am especially interested in the words near some of the people's names which might explain relationships, the work information in columns 7 & 8; the birthplaces in column 9; and the notes in column 14. I'm also hoping to establish what connection there might be between these families and the other Berkovits family from Natafalva, which you can see (with translations) here: https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/responselist.asp?key=60322

Their two kids both born in NAtafalva

"their mother" (=the mother of Jakab and Moses Berkovits, so the two husbands are brothers)

I am wondering if this is a shared relative. I just found this record on Family Search (not fun) from Ancestry listing. Jacob Berkowitz and Rebecca Klein were my gg grandparents. Poruba (Pribor) was on some citizenship paperwork of their children-I have been desperately trying to find where my family comes from in Hungary-was told Sarospatak. My ggf married a woman from Terna Slovakia and the most I research the region, the smaller it gets--if you submitted, please email me #2358
