    Hungarian History at the time of Janos Vehhofer:

    Hungarian nationalism emerged among intellectuals influenced by the Enlightenment and Romanticism. It grew rapidly, providing the foundation for the revolution of 1848? 49. There was a special focus on the Magyar language, which replaced Latin as the language of the state and the schools.

    In the 1820s, Emperor Francis I was forced to convene the Hungarian Diet, which inaugurated a Reform Period. Nevertheless, progress was slowed by the nobles who clung to their privileges (exemption from taxes, exclusive voting rights, etc.). Therefore, the achievements were mostly of a symbolic character, such as the progress of the Magyar language.

    Count Istv?n Sz?chenyi, the nation's most prominent statesman, recognized the urgent need for modernization, and his message was taken to heart by other Hungarian political leaders. The Hungarian Parliament was reconvened in 1825 to handle financial needs. A liberal party emerged focusing on the peasantry and proclaiming an understanding of the needs of the laborers. Lajos Kossuth emerged as leader of the lower gentry in the Parliament.

    Habsburg monarchs, desiring an agrarian, traditional Hungary, tried to hinder the industrialization of the country. A remarkable upswing started as the nation concentrated on modernization despite Habsburg obstruction of all important liberal laws concerning civil and political rights and economic reforms. Many reformers (such as Lajos Kossuth and Mih?ly T?ncsics) were imprisoned by the authorities.

    Hungarian History at the time of Mihaly Wehoffer:
    On 15 March 1848, mass demonstrations in Pest and Buda enabled Hungarian reformists to push through a list of Twelve Demands. The Hungarian Diet took advantage of the Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas to enact the April laws, a comprehensive legislative program of dozens of civil rights reforms. Faced with revolution both at home and in Hungary, Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I at first had to accept Hungarian demands. After the Austrian uprising was suppressed, a new emperor Franz Joseph replaced his epileptic uncle Ferdinand. Franz Joseph rejected all reforms and started to arm against Hungary. A year later, in April 1849, an independent government of Hungary was established.[36]

    The new government seceded from the Austrian Empire.[37] The House of Habsburg was dethroned in the Hungarian part of the Austrian Empire and the first Republic of Hungary was proclaimed, with Lajos Kossuth as governor and president. The first prime minister was Lajos Batthy?ny. Emperor Franz Joseph and his advisers skillfully manipulated the new nation's ethnic minorities, the Croatian, Serbian and Romanian peasantry, led by priests and officers firmly loyal to the Habsburgs, and induced them to rebel against the new government. The Hungarians were supported by the vast majority of the Slovaks, Germans, and Rusyns of the country, and almost all the Jews, as well as by a large number of Polish, Austrian and Italian volunteers.

    Hungarian Economy near turn of the century:

    The era witnessed significant economic development in the rural areas. The formerly backwards Hungarian economy became relatively modern and industrialized by the turn of the 20th century, although agriculture remained dominant in the GDP until 1880. In 1873, the old capital Buda and ?buda (Ancient Buda) were officially merged with the third city, Pest, thus creating the new metropolis of Budapest. The dynamic Pest grew into the country's administrative, political, economic, trade and cultural hub.

    Technological advancement accelerated industrialization and urbanization. The Gross national product per capita grew roughly 1.45% per year from 1870 to 1913. That level of growth compared very favorably to that of other European nations such as Britain (1.00%), France (1.06%), and Germany (1.51%). The leading industries in this economic expansion were electricity and electro-technology, telecommunications, and transport (especially locomotive, tram and ship construction). The key symbols of industrial progress were the Ganz concern and Tungsram Works. Many of the state institutions and modern administrative systems of Hungary were established during this period.

    The census of the Hungarian state in 1910 (excluding Croatia), recorded the following population distribution: Hungarian 54.5%, Romanian 16.1%, Slovak 10.7%, and German 10.4%.[43][44] The religious denomination with the greatest number of adherents was Roman Catholicism (49.3%), followed by the Calvinism (14.3%), Greek Orthodoxy (12.8%), Greek Catholicism (11.0%), Lutheranism (7.1%), and Judaism (5.0%)

    Notes:

    Was a building mason, tool and die maker at one time, and later a farmer after the war. Last contact was around 1955 asking relatives in U.S. for money to buy a tractor back in Europe, according to Joyce Wehofer (Daughter-in-law).

    I have copy of Pal Wehofer Hungarian Birth Registration from registration on 12 May 1897 in Pinka-Miske. Details match recollections of William and Joyce Wehofer which leads to further varification of details through the Catholic Church records of his father Franz and his mother Aloisia Csacsinovics.

    After Franz first wife Aloisia Csacsinovics died of Tuberculosis in 1904, Franz remarried three months later to Cacilia Schneller. Unfortunately, the two weren't very lucky. After the first child, Pauline, died at about 6 weeks and also the second on the day of birth, Cacilia also fell ill with peritonitis and died in the suburban hospital in Als Vorstadtkrankenhaus.

    As Vincennes was so small, Frank's cousin Mulan took Vincennes (Vinczencz) to raise as his own. Mulan later married Johanna Plank and together they raised Vincennes. When they died, as they had no children of their own, Vincennes inherited their house.

    After Aloise and Cacilia Franz then married Terezia Radovics, who was 13 years older and no children followed, although Terezia had a son of her own, Adolf Radakovits.

    In April 1913, Pal (Paul), who was second oldest at 17, left for the USA.

In 1873, the old capital Buda and ?buda (Ancient Buda) were officially merged with the third city, Pest, thus creating the new metropolis of Budapest.

    In 1920 by the Treaty of Trianon, the western part of the county became part of the new Austrian land Burgenland, and a small part in the southwest became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (from 1929 as Yugoslavia). The remainder stayed in Hungary, as the present Hungarian Vas County. A small part of former Sopron county went to Vas county. Some villages north of Zalaegerszeg went to Zala County, and a small region west of P?pa went to Veszpr?m County. Yugoslavian part of the county was occupied and annexed by Hungary between 1941 and 1945 during World War II.

    Since 1991, when Slovenia became independent from Yugoslavia, the Yugoslavian part of former Vas county (known in Slovenian as Prekmurje) has been part of the Republic of Slovenia. In 1919 there was briefly proclaimed the Republic of Prekmurje, but it existed only 6 days, alike the Lajtab?ns?g.
    1900

    In 1900, the county had a population of 418,905 people and was composed of the following linguistic communities:[1]

    Total:

    Hungarian: 222,474 (53.0%)
    German: 125,570 (30.0%)
    Croatian: 17,896 (4.3%)

Also records for 2nd marriage to Cacilia Schneller in 1905. This marriage didn't last long, as Franz entered a relationship with Theresia Radakovits after the death of another baby with Cacilia. Paul Wehofer went to America to meet up with Theresia's son Adolf, his step-brother in 1913 and Franz and Theresia were married in 1910 (with records proof).

    Notes:

    2nd Born.
    Came to America when 15 years old (March 1913) and went to live with cousins near Chicago sometime after his mother died in 1904. Living in 1917 at 7018 Justine, Chicago, Illinois.
    Came from Pinkamiske, Vas, Hungary that was later known as Mischendorf, Burgenland, Austria after World War I (1917). Area comprises Germanic, Croatian and Hungarian heritages in area commonly known as Burgenland, Austria. Past Wehofers were known prior to 1850's as Vehhofers, but common spelling uniformly changed to Wehofer over 20-30 years, in nearly all families. Generations of Wehofers have spread over a relatively small area, with the highest concentrations in descending order: Wien (Vienna) Austria (30%), Mischendorf (6%), Rust (5%), Yspertac (3%), Tadten (3%), and so forth to lesser concentrations.

    Paul is an Americanised name spelling (originally Pal in Hungarian), upon coming to the USA. Paul married Clara and they operated a small limited bakery in the Chicago area for a few years during the wartime 40's. When they moved the family to Alpena, they started a larger bakery, bought lake front property at Hubbard Lake, bought a house and set up their oldest sons in the family business. Differences of opinion and relationship issues separated most of the older children from close ties to their parents, Paul and Clara and full reconciliation was never fully realized. SS# 375-34-0880

    I have copy of Pal Wehofer Hungarian Birth Registration from where registered on 12 May 1897 in Pinka-Miske. Details match recollections of William and Joyce Wehofer which leads to further varification of details through the Catholic Church records of his father Franz and his mother Aloisia.

    Meanwhile, back in Hungary the year after Pal emigrated to the US, World War I happened.

    Main articles: Austro-Hungarian entry into World War I and Hungary in World War I

    After the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914, a series of crises escalated quickly. A general war began on 28 July with a declaration of war on Serbia by Austria-Hungary.[45]

    Austria-Hungary drafted 9 million soldiers in World War I, of which 4 million were from the kingdom of Hungary. During the First World War, Austria-Hungary fought on the side of Germany, Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire? the so-called Central Powers. They conquered Serbia easily, and Romania declared war. The Central Powers then conquered Southern Romania and the Romanian capital of Bucharest. In November 1916, Emperor Franz Joseph died; the new monarch, Emperor Charles I of Austria (IV. K?roly), sympathized with the pacifists in his realm.
