Ferenc Berke

One of his ancestors, Ambrosius Berke, received confirmation of his earlier nobility and privileges in 1609, after older documents had been lost in the war with the Ottomans.

Berke attended elementary school in Nemescsó, and by 1778 was at the Lutheran lyceum in Pozsony.

He married twice, first to the noblewoman Elisabeth Posgay, widow of János Ringhoffer, and after her death to Anna Zsuzsanna Bachich, widow of the nobleman Péter Horváth, the Lutheran pastor in Meszlen.

Berke and Mátyás Godina published a second edition of the Prekmurje-dialect Nouvi Zákon (New Testament) ny István Küzmics.

In 1829, sanction to the György Czipott's prayer-book Dühovni áldov.
