Johanna Magaziner was born in Hungary in April 1839, the daughter of Samuel Magaziner and Julia Wickman. Her name sometimes appears in records as Hani or Janka. Johanna married Lipot (Leopold) Grun around 1858. Lipot was born in Kassa around 1834. They had at least eight children.
Lipot died in Budapest on August 26, 1874. After Lipot's death, Johanna worked as a blinds maker with her son Lajos, apparently in competition with the blinds businesses of her relatives Lajos Magaziner, Antal Weinberger and Sandor Weinberger. Later, Johanna moved to New York, where she lived with her daughter Emma. Johanna appears with Emma's family in the 1900 and 1905 censuses. In New York, Johanna and Emma were visited by some of their Hungarian Magaziner relatives: a daughter of Adolf and a daughter of David both visited New York, using their cousin Emma as their contact.
Johanna developed typhoid fever in New York in late March 1907, right around the time and place that Typhoid Mary was first quarantined. Johanna died of toxicity from it on May 2, 1907, at the age of 68. She was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
Kornelia Sara Grun was born in Kassa Ujfalu around 1858. Her name was spelled Cornelia in Vienna. Cornelia married Izidor Erdelyi in Budapest on November 28, 1880. Izidor was born as Isidor Kohn in Baja, Hungary on November 18, 1857 and changed his name to Erdelyi in 1879.
Cornelia and Izidor moved to Vienna, where they had at least two children. Cornelia died in Vienna on December 30, 1891, after a short illness. She was buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof. Their son Otto was buried with her later. Izidor remarried to another woman named Cornelia in Vienna in 1900, but he remained in touch with Cornelia's family, serving as a witness to the 1907 marriage of Renee Magaziner. Izidor died in Vienna in October, 1926.
Berthold Grun was born in Kassa on September 9, 1860. His Hebrew name was Baruch. Berthold changed his surname to Gaal at some time before 1891, and used the given name Bertalan in Budapest. Bertalan was an architect. In Budapest, he lived at the same address as his uncle, Lajos Magaziner.
Bertalan married Hermina Schweitzer in Mannheim, Germany on February 8, 1894. Hermina was born in Miskolcz on January 13, 1870. They had at least two daughters.
Bertalan suffered a stroke and died in Budapest on February 9, 1915, at the age of 54. He was buried at Kozma Utcai Izraelita Temeto, where many members of the family are buried. His wife Hermina died on July 26, 1936 and is buried with him at Kozma Utca.
Ludwig Felix Grun was born in Kassa on December 4, 1862. He changed his name to Lajos Gal in 1892. His name also appeared as Ludwig Gal or Gaal. His name also appeared as Bodog Lajos Gal, because Bodog is the Hungarian version of his middle name, Felix.
Lajos died on August 8, 1902 in Budapest, at the age of 39, apparently never married. His brother Bertalan published a death notice for him in the Pester Lloyd (a German-language newspaper based in Hungary), identifying the decedent as Ludwig F. Gal and the person publishing the notice as Architekt Berthold Gaal. The death notice indicates that Lajos died after a long period of suffering, but I have not been able to discern the cause of death from the death registry. He was buried at Kozma Utca, as were many members of the family.
Isidore Grun was born in Kassa on June 30, 1864. He probably died before 1892, because he was not mentioned in his sister Cornelia's obituary, as siblings Bertalan, Lajos and Emma were, and Johanna said in the 1900 census that only three of her children were living.
Emma Grun was born in Humenne on May 4, 1870. On June 3, 1888, she married Lipot Frigyes Rosenberg. He was known as Fred or Fritz later in life. Fred was born in Budapest on September 25, 1865. They had three children in Budapest.
Fred emigrated to New York on the Fulda in October 1895. Emma and their children followed him on the Normannia in July 1896. They settled in Manhattan, on Madison Avenue. In New York, Fred worked as a stock broker. Emma's mother, Johanna lived with them from before 1900 until her death in 1907. Emma's cousin Regina (Adolf's daughter) visited them in New York in 1907, and her cousin Elza (David's daughter) visited in 1924.
Fred died on November 1, 1941 in Ossining, New York. Emma died in Manhattan on January 6, 1962, at the age of 92.
Terez Grun was born in Budapest on May 28, 1871. She probably died before 1892, because she was not mentioned in her sister Cornelia's obituary, as siblings Bertalan, Lajos and Emma were, and Johanna said in the 1900 census that only three of her children were living.
Louise Elizabeth Erdelyi was born in Vienna on September 9, 1881. She was the daughter of Cornelia Sara Grun and Izidor Erdelyi. She was an actress under the name Lisa Ertel. In January 1909, she converted to Christianity. She was unmarried at that time.
On August 28, 1909, she married Leonhard Frank in Berlin. Leonhard was born in Wurzburg, Germany on September 4, 1882. Leonhard and Louise were both identified as Protestant on the marriage record. Leonhard and Louise divorced on November 16, 1910, but remarried on February 4, 1915. Leonhard became a famous pacifist author. They moved to Switzerland during World War I because Leonhard's pacifist views were not fashionable in Germany at the time, but they came back to Germany after the war. Leonhard and Louise apparently had no children.
Louise died in Berlin on March 16, 1923, at the age of 41.
Leonhard remarried in 1928. His pacifist views caused trouble for him again under the Nazi regine. His books were burned and his citizenship was annulled. He immigrated to America in 1941 and became a citizen but returned to Munich in 1950, where he married for a third time. He died in Munich on August 18, 1961 and was buried at Nordfriedhof München.

Julianna Kornelia Gaal was born in Budapest on October 31, 1896, the daughter of Bertalan Gaal and Hermina Schweitzer. Her middle name is probably in honor of Bertalan's sister, Cornelia Sara Grun, who died a few years before Julianna was born.
Julianna married Sandor Steiner in Budapest on August 6, 1925. Sandor was born in Vacs, Hungary on March 25, 1883. They had a daughter.
