I should've included the travel distance for the Fockos:
- Bavaria to Diosgyor, a total of six days and 16 hours to walk-- unlikely
- Diosgyor to Kosice, 19 hours, 14 minutes-- more likely to walk. Frantisek Gyorgy Foczko (Frank George Fosko) was born in Diosgyor on October 5, 1888. His birth could've been because...
- Hidvegardo is where Johanna Hanzokova Foczkova's family orginated as well as originating in Diosgyor and Miskolc.
- Hidvegardo to Kosice, eight hours and 35 minutes
- Kosice to Zlata Idka, five hours and 11 minutes. Remember that there were no cars and hardly (if any) similar types of transportation in the centuries before the 18th Century. If there were, they were for the rich and the royalty.
- Zlata Idka into Poland, first stop being Kielce; two days and fifteen minutes. Remember that our branch converted around the 1700s. The first Focko noted so far is in 1735. The other branch or branches decided not to be Anusim, thus fleeing then-Aranyida and Kassa, Hungary for Jewish-tolerant Poland.
- Kielce to Radom, 15 hours and 40 minutes. Finally we come to...
- Radom to Warsaw, 21 hours and 12 minutes
If you don't believe me, you may search "Focko" or "Foczko" in Poland on JewishGen. By the way, Anusim married fellow Anusim; so the Hanzoks, Filczaks, Rusnaks (which is a given), Molnars (another given), Novaks, etc. were all-- unless otherwise noted or shown-- Jewish and Anusim. Anusim knew and/or sought out each other, and stuck together as well as their Lo Anusi (openly-Jewish) counterparts. Besides, what was the clime of Hungary like in the 17th and other centuries for Jews? Bad and just as pogromic and Inquisitory as Spain. For example:
"In the late 17th century, the Hapsburgs captured Hungary and anti-Semitism grew, along with expulsions of Jews from the cities. Despite the anti-Jewish feelings, migration from Poland and Moravia to Hungary continued and, in 1735, about 11,600 Jews lived in Hungary.
"The situation for Jews worsened during the reign of Maria Theresa (1740-80). Jews were forced to pay "toleration taxes" and were subject to persecution."
