A History of Central Eastern Europe

description of the town from 1851 tallies 124 Roman and 7 Greek Catholics plus 57 Jewish
residents giving a total of 188 which is a highly questionable figure. It would mean that the
village nearly doubled in size in the following 26 years.
In 2001 it had just 212 residents & 72 houses, 35% RC, 8% GC, 17% Reformed, the rest didn’t
answer or had no religion; but it’s growing: 2009 opened with 103 homes (↑43%) and 309
residents (↑47%). making it about the same size as HOSSZÚLÁZ.
NAGY-TORONYA
NAGY-TORONYA is no longer in the MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG but a part of
the SLOVENSKÁ REPUBLIKA; nor is it NAGY-TORONYA in the ZEMPLÉN
MEGYE but VEL’KE-TŔŇA in the KOŠICKÝ KRAJ. From 1919 to the
present, with the exception of 1938 to 1947, the village has not been a
part of Hungary, in any form. Our great-grandmother ANNA UNTENER
was born here on 15 November 1856 to JANOS UNTENER and ANNA
TAJEM. She was Dad’s paternal grandmother.
