The names associated with Malinec were, as previously written, WACHTEL, LOCHNER, KLEIN and, additionally, VOGEL, BLOCH, LEDR and REDERER. Today, Nancy Deutsch-Sinderbrand (in New York) and George and Mary Mauksch (also in New York) are descendants of two branches of the WACHTEL family from Malinec. Claude Wachtel, the author of this article, is a descendant of Rosalie VOGEL, living in Malinec in the 18th Century (the daughter of the religious teacher Herman VOGEL).
