Working for the Count

Greatgrandmother Csucs (Mike) Julianna (1896) married Csucs Sandor (1895). Julianna came from a divorced family, her mother Mike Zsuzsana was married to Kiraly Jozsef and they lived in Tatarfalva. She worked for a Earl/Count in that town as a house keeper and my greatgrandmother Julianna grew up with the Earl's children. My great-great grandfather Jozsef was a difficult man, heavy drinker and so Zsuzsanna divorced him and took back her maiden name as did her daughter Julianna. They moved back to Nagygec where the Mike family came from. Here Zsuzsanna began work as a servant/housekeep for the Earl Luby family.



My grandmother Aranka and her sisters worked as "kitchen girls" maids for the Earl Szomjas.
