Apponyi story
Grandfather saw Geraldine Apponyi
(Genealogy of Apponyi I have from maternal side, but here is story from paternal side:)
My grandfather from paternal side (descendant of Counts of Jur and of Pezinok, Szentgyorgy), when he was the child, was at the Castle Oponice and saw Countess Geraldina Apponyi with her husband, Zogu, king of Albany. He saw them, when he played at this Castle, because his uncle Kintler was the castellan of castles of Count Apponyi. My uncle also said something like he went to be witness to babtize someone and there were shoting army and horses were shocked from it and this was during first Slovak state, when he saw them and I think also that this story about babtism is from this times. This uncle so liked my grandfather that wanted to adopt him, but grandfather did not want.
My issue with Geraldine Apponyi
My issue common with Geraldine Apponyi from maternal side is in Gotha, means my greatgrandmother Sidónia Faixová b. Dugovičová, having mother Gf Apponyi de Nagyappony, Sidónia's greatgrandfather and Geraldine's greatgrandfather were brothers. Aslo visage of my greatgrandmother and her sister shows they are relatives.
And my issue was Alexander (Sándor)+Alexandrine and František+Františka, first names, looks interesting.
