in reply to a message by Carole Imes
In my opinion Veger could be the hungarian form of the german last name WEGER, that could have two possible origins both coming from words indicating professions:
a wegher
a carter
Kovacsics it is a variant of "Kovacs" it means probably "blacksmith".

Kovacz (prn. Koh-vach) means smith and blacksmith in many Slavic languages. Perhaps, it is borrowed into Hungarian as well.
Kovacz is most probable a Hungarian surname. Corresponding Slavic surnames can be Kovaczicz (spelled also Kovachich or Kovacic) or Kovaczev (Kovachev).
Thus, Kovaczicz in this spelling can be either a Polish surname or a Serbo-Croatian surname written according to the Hungarian or Polish orthographic rules.
