Hi,
Did Zsigmond change his name from Fischer to Foti? On his son's marriage in 1911 he named his father as Zsigmond FISCHER not Szigmond FOTI.

Thanks
Leanne

Did his wife Eugénia Eugenie Fischer - Foti change her name in 1911 when their children did?

We are into the realms of supposition rather than factual recording for the records for Zsigmond predate National Registration.

Two burials only a short distance from each other seem to SUGGEST that Zsigmond was buried as a Fischer, whist his wife was buried much later as a Foti.

Fóti Zsigmondné Netter Eugenia ? 1920 Salgótarjáni út J 11 15
and only a few graves away is
Fischer Zsigmond ? 1886 Salgótarjáni út J 11 8

Of course this could be coincidental, BUT that particular cemetery had been closed for over 20 years, so Eugenia must have made a special request to be buried close to someone that we strongly suspect was her husband.

Thanks
I have updated the details for Eugenia and Zsigmond
