Looking for Joseph Pák/Pákh/Pack
- According to his marriage record in Mindszent parish in Miskolcz, Joseph Pak was born in Dobsina, Gömör around 1831

Found a baptism record that is in Dobšiná, Rožňava, Slovakia
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GR77-8BH?i=423&lang=en
Is Dobsina, Gomor the same or near Dobsina, Roznava?
2. Struggling to find a death certificate for Joseph Pak. His children were born in Miskolc so I assume he died there?
My great grandfather was his eldest son Albert: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9398-NQKN-W?view=explore&groupId=M9D2-L5B
I am fairly sure he had died before 1904 since he's not in the wedding photo of Albert Pak/Pakh and Ilona Konecsny (in white) and their mothers are dressed in black.
Below is the photo - is it typical so many are dressed in black? Any help would be appreciated.

They're not necessarily dressed in black: all saturated colors (such as Christmas red and green) look black in black-and-white photographs, including colorized ones like this.
Before 1920: Dobsina, Gömör, Hungary
Name also found as: Dopschina, Dobscha, Dobschau, Dopschau
Churches: RC Dobsina, GC Telgárt, Luth. Dobsina, Isr. Rozsnyó
Now: Dobšiná, SlovakiaIt looks like Albert's mother died (as a widow) in Kassa (Košice) in 1915: https://dspace.oszk.hu/handle/20.500.12346/444034# (also at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DTZQ-NN2?lang=en&i=65). The Miskolc civil registries of deaths do not appear to be indexed on FS. They are indexed on the Hungarian genealogy association's site, but I was unable to get it to cough up anyone matching your József.
Oh: Albert's sister-in-law also died in Kassa, in 1913, and his mother is already a widow, so József definitely died before 1913, but it seems likely to have been in what's now Slovakia, making it rather more difficult to find. (The index of the Kassa Roman Catholic registers doesn't have him; they go up to 1898 on FS.)
