Summary: Pataki Ancestry.

The Pataki Family Tree

Kazmer Pataki (1865-1936)

• Born in Budapest, Hungary.

Grew up in middle-class circumstances. His father Anton was a musician and his mother Edina was an amateur painter and writer.

Both of his parents were radical Hungarian nationalists. Despite the arrangement of the dual system with Austria in 1867 (which formed the Austro-Hungarian Empire), they advocated full independence from Austria. Naturally, Kazmer's parents deeply influenced his political views.

• Married Agnes Görög (1866-1935) in 1890 also of Hungarian decent.

• Had 2 children:

Jakob Pataki (1891-1963)

Helga and Olga's great-grandfather.

o Adrian Pataki (1893-1918)

Drafted into WWI and killed on the Western Front, fighting for the US.

• In late 1893, Kazmer became involved in an extremist plot to assassinate Emperor Franz-Josef I. It was hoped that the assassination would force the Austrian government to concede to Hungarian independence. Unfortunately for the conspirators, Austrian spies discover the plot, and most of plotters are arrested. Pataki and several others were the only few that escaped from the spies, as they were not too deeply involved in the plot. Nonetheless, worried for the well-being of himself and his family, Kazmer decides to leave Hungary for America, believing he can continue his nationalist activities there more safely.

• In early 1894, Kazmer – along with Agnes, Jakob, and Adrian, leave for America. They arrive at Ellis Island, and soon settle down in a Manhattan slum. Kazmer becomes involved with Hungarian nationalist circles in the city, and helps organize several protest marches calling for greater Hungarian nationalism. However, by 1900, Kazmer was under potential pressure again from the authorities, and decides to move out even further to continue his political work in relative peace. In 1901, he and his family move to Hillwood. They become tenants of the Sunset Arms boarding house, which is now owned by the Shortman family. They will live at the Sunset Arms until 1909, when Kazmer finds moves to another flat.

• Not too long after arriving in Hillwood, Kazmer starts his own paper, The Hungarian Catholic, which advocates Hungarian nationalism and discusses a variety of other political issues. However, the paper soon folds because there is no Hungarian exile community in Hillwood (or within the region) to read it, and it doesn't arouse any interest with Hillwood's native residents. After his paper fails, Kazmer finds work as a construction worker, a job he would keep for the rest of his life. Dejected by his failures in politics, Kazmer abandons political activities altogether for the rest of his life.

• After his son Adrian is killed in WWI, Kazmer becomes more socially reclusive. In his final years, he was hardly seen out and about. He dies on March 14, 1936.
