Bárdossy Péter

I'm researching the history of the Bardossy family and my ancestors more than ten years.
After collecting the very incomplete and contradictory information from the family members I began the research in the libraries and archives.
I get a lot of datas, informations up to the present.
The research is not so easy and fast with lot of results, because in one respect I started the research in three lines. On the other hand the name of Bardossy is well known from the recent past.

What are these three lines?

One of the three lines is the ancient noble family from
Vas county
. They lived and living as landowners up to the present in nomerous villages of the county, and several of them were public officers.
This is the line of primeminister Laszlo Bardossy. They are using the title of nobility "bardosi" about the village Bardos, near to Szombathely.

The second line comes from northen part of the historical Hungary (Felvidek). This family appeared in 1768, when queen Mary-Theresa donated title of nobility and armalis with coat of arms to John Bardosy and his son Anthony. He was born in Kassa and worked as a public officer at the Goverment of Szepes county. His wife was baroness Mary Horvath-Kissevich of Lomnicza.
Anthony was working as a lawyer in Kaposvar at the turn of the 19th century. This line is "coming back" from Felvidek to Transdanubia.

I'm coming from this line too.

The third line had lived in Transylvania. They also used the title of nobility "bardosi", because in Maros-Torda county was an other Bardos village not far from Marosvasarhely. The earliest mention of this family was in 1514. (Encyclopeadia Székely) The familymembers had owned always the title of nobility.
George Bardossy (1817-1873), a judge of the court of appeal came from this line. His wife was countess Johanna Rhédey of Nagyrede. Bardossy family had taken relationship to the British Royal Dynasty through this wedding.
