Johann Filipovits III (b. Mar 13, 1787, d. Jan 22, 1846)
Johann Filipovits III (son of Johann Filipovits, Jr. and Anna Milisits) was born Mar 13, 1787 in Szentpeterfa, Vas, Austria-Hungary154, and died Jan 22, 1846 in Szentpeterfa, Vas, Austria-Hungary154. He married Anna Kapitar on Feb 24, 1812 in Szentpeterfa, Vas, Austria-Hungary154, daughter of Mathias Kapitar and Anna Hansz.
Notes for Johann Filipovits III:
From my own research, including several trips to Szentpeterfa, I couldn't originally determine the exact date of birth for Johann (or his parents' names).
According to the Szentpeterfa records, right at the appropriate period, several individuals named "Johann Filipovits" were born.
Detailed studies of the birth and marriage records of this era revealed at least 3 possible candidates.
One of these candidates may be eliminated by a citation in the 1831 marriage records from St. Kathrein. In these records, one "Johann Filipovits of Szentpeterfa, age 40, a widower" remarries. His parents are listed as "John and Anna".
Since Anna Kapitar, the wife of the specific "Johann Filipovits" for whom I am searching, apparently survived until 1841, the above mentioned marriage record seems to eliminate the Johann Filipovits born in 1791.
The two remaining candidates are:
1) Johann born 3/13/1787 to John and Anna (Milisits) Filipovits.
2) Johann born 12/15/1789 to George and Susan Filipovits, born in house #89.
Research into the Szentpeterfa death records shows that Johann #1 above died on 1/22/1846. He was a widow at the time of his death and was 59 years old.
Further information from the birth record of Johann #1's sibling, Michael, confirms that the parents of Johann #1 lived in house #92 and that Johann was almost certainly born in house #92.
Still more research indicates that the correct Johann, that is, the Johann Filipovits for whom I am searching, had a son, named Nicholas, who was married while residing in house #92.
From all this info, I have determined that my correct ancestor was Johann #1 above, that is, Johann Filipovits born on 3/13/1787.
