I have had the record below since March 2008. I havealso had a typed transcript (by someone else) since that time. Blindly trusting the transcription Ididn’t look closely at the actual tax ledger until an hour ago – and guess what I see?I see that one THOMAS KU TARNA is listed in a tax ledger from 1715! Given the rarity ofthe surname, I would say it’s a safe guess that THOMAS takes this branch back 100 years!59
LYSÁ NAD DUNAJCOMWith a population hovering around1,200 you wouldn’t think that STARÁ VES’would have a “suburb” – but it does – or did– or does. Two kilometers “upriver” (west)of town, the monks of Červený Kláštor builttha farm by the river in the early 14 c. Thefarm grew into a small community, one thatadopted the name of the farmer-monkshome - Červený kláštor – with a lower-casek. Perhaps the confusion of having twoplaces with the exact same name, side-by-no less, was at least partially responsible for the name change to LYSÁ NAD DUNAJCOM, thensideKALENBERG (1863) and GOLINBERG (1870) and KAHLENBERG (1892) and MAD’ TARHEGY(1907) and KALENBERK (1920) and, again, LYSÁ NAD DUNAJCOM (1948). What ever its name, thehamlet fell under STARÁ VES’ jurisdiction until the late 1800s when it became a village in its ownright. But being a “village in its own right” isn’t as obvious as it should be. None of the censusrecords consulted made any mention of such a place and, as 5 of those were done in or later thanthe late 1800s, we can assume being designated a village does not mean a separate censusenumeration! In 2006 it became the Slovak side of the half of a foot bridge across the DunajecRiver; the Polish half ends in SROMOWCE NIŻNE.MajereThis village got its start nolater than 1431 when it firstappears in written records. Itwas a manor house namedStarý Majer that was builtand owned by the monks ofČERVENÝ KLÁŠTOR. After thedissolution of the religious order in 1786 and 1787 it is found as Ó MAJER until 1798.Repopulated by German settlers from WÜTENBERSKA, the village was renamed VYŠNÉ ŠVÁBY.From 1863 to 1913 it appears as Ó MAJER again, then VYŠNÉ ŠVÁBY, a brief return to STARÝMAJER in 1920, then VYŠNÉ ŠVÁBY once again. Between 1927 and 1948 it was called ALTER-MEIEREI and ever since that time it has been MAJERE. The 1877 religious enumeration of thehamlet of 120 residents resulted in a population that was 47% ág (total 56, Toporcz), 43%Roman Catholic (52, Ófalu) & 10% izraelita (12, Ófalu). (Place of mother church in brackets).According to a census at the end of the year in 2008 there were 87 residents, an 8% increase overthe 2001 population when 77 residents were living in 30 houses. (Photo next page)Another set of Nana’s great-grandparents, SIMON HAZAY and MARIA VOJTAS, lived here in theearly 19 th c when JOZEF HAZAY, her grandfather, was born here, most likely in January 1823 asndhe was baptized in SPIŠSKÁ STARÁ VES that year on the 2 of February.60
