Hi Elizabeth,

Petö - though Hungarian spelling this way, is likely Slavic in origin.
Redler, Ledler - I would guess to be German.
Takács (not Takars) - is Hungarian (means weaver).
Szappan (Latinized form Szappanus?) - also Hungarian (means soap).
Bertalan - Hungarian = Bartholomew (used as given and surname).
Foser - likely German.
Csendes - Hungarian (means quiet).
Roth - German.
Locsár - looks Hungarian, but no meaning as far as I know.
Lemon - English??
Trombitás - Hungarian (means trumpeter).
Pranyin - Slavic origin.
Sótonyi - Hungarian (means somebody from Sótony [village]).
Soronyi - looks Hungarian, and should mean somebody from Sorony, except
there was no place like that!?
Redl - German.
Seller (German spelling Scheller) - German.
Szaly - sz implies Hungarian, but no meaning that I know of (száj would
mean mouth).
Dager (Gajer, Geier) - could be Slavic.
Torma - Hungarian (means horseradish).
Cser/Cseri - Hungarian (means tanner or tanning; also oak tree - or
somebody from Krassócser).
Fischer - German.
Iker - Hungarian (means twin).
Pap - Hungarian (means priest, pastor).
Kruczler - Slavic.
