The Family of László Szepessy & Terézia Csoma


The Szepessy de Négyes family was the first connection to "large" nobility I had in my family tree. I discovered this cousin line of mine back around 2004 and have been working on it since; filling in the blanks with data that I found here and there. I'm connected to this family through their daughter Malvina, whose second husband was my 4th cousin 5 times removed: Doctor Albert Bódogh of Miskolcz. Here is the information on this family:

László Szepessy de Négyes was born on 17 Jul 1797 in Ládháza, Borsod, Hungary, to László Szepessy de Négyes and Katalin Ragályi de Ragály és Kis-Csoltó. He was one of five children. László was married to Terézia Francziska Klára Csoma de Ragylocz, who was born on 19 May 1809 in Noszvaj, Borsod, Hungary, to Zsigmond Csoma de Ragylocz and Terézia Szilassy de Szilas és Pilis. She was one of four children. László passed away on 27 Jun 1853 in Berente, Borsod, Hungary and Terézia passed away on 04 Jan 1867 in Radván, Zólyom, Hungary.
