Stephen "Istvan" Farkas was born in Homokszentgyorgy, Somogy County, Barcs District, Hungary as son to Alexander "Sandor" Farkas and Anna Maczki Farkas (from Trojeglava, Pozega, Hungary). His birth records were found in nearby Szulok, Somogy County, Hungary. It seems like his parents, at one time were in Somogy County in Hungary, then eventually settled in Pozsega County, Hungary.

In 2008, researcher, Joseph Esterreicher supplied the following information from microfilm on Stephen from his mother's death record:

From hand written notes for Gaj church records LDS film #2120445
Jan 3 1919 Ana Farkas RK 62? _/Hrastovac Sandor Farkas
The _ before / indicates that there was no place of origin given. Place of death,
Hrastovac, Sandor Farkas was the spouse, Rk means Roman Catholic. I read her age as 62 but I am not sure.

Sandor Farkas
+ Anna Maczki born about 1851 died January 3 1919 Hrastovac
Children:
Anna born December 11 1873 Homokszentgyorgy
Istvan born December 25 1878
Sandor born December 22 1880

Anna Maczki's death info came from Gaj church records and I have had her info for several years. The births of the 3 Farkas children above came from the Szulok, Hungary chuch records. Notice the birth date of Sandor. You have November 15 1880 Szt Gyorgy. Only Anna was stated as being born in Homokszentgyorgy. No birth location given for Istvan or Sandor. The priest did not have a colum in the church book for recording birth location.
I did not find any info on Sandor Farkas, husband of Anna Maczki. I found no marriage or death info on Farkas in the Gaj church records besides Anna Maczki Farkas.
