Regarding "at the family estate at Szentpéterfalva in Sacele (Szacsal), Transylvania"... that is not corect. His family estate (or, at least, one of hos residences from the Hateg region) was situated in this vilage:

Gay?[edit]

Was this confirmed? it is written as if fact in the article. FunkMonk (talk) 03:59, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Religion?[edit]

We seem to know a lot about him, do we know his religion? An Austro-Hungarian noble most certainly belonged to some church, Hungarians had several choices. 18:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Romanian origin[edit]

"family of Romanian origin" Any reference for this? I tried to find any real reference. All of them only mentioned the fact, but never bring up any evidence or proof. The Families of Hungary (Ivan Nagy, 1860) did not mention this, but the Szilvási ancestry. Szeitzp (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I think a lot of digging through primary sources would be necessary to answer this question properly, if these sources even survive that is. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:39, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
