It has been understood that my family has come from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, later the area of Czechoslovakia. My grandfather, who considers himself Hungarian(?), calls his father's birthplace "Kaschauer" Is this name familiar with anyone in the Czech Republic or Slovakia?
By the way, the surname is "Schwartz" with Given Names of Regina and Ignatz. Jewish. Could also be Kashau???
Košice is the second biggest town in Slovakia. Slovak (Czech): Košice German: Kaschau Hungarian: Kassa Polish: Koszyce Latin: Cassovia the adjective derived from the name Košice: Slovak (Czech): Košický German: Kaschauer Hungarian: Kassai Polish: Koszycki Latin: Cassoviensis These adjective forms are common surnames as well, esp. in Slovak/Czech, German and Hungarian.
