1. Surname variations [1]
Anne Sprentz said: "In my research, I have found that my last name has had several different spelling variations. It is now Sprentz, but it was Princz for several years and spelled that way by most relatives who came to the US. However, I have found relatives in Hungary who have verified my ancestor as being a relative and they have always and still do spell it Sprencz. This is very important when researching in Hungary. Sprencz and Princz are two totally different names. The relative I have found in th

3. Spinach and Eggs [0.980578]
My Hungarian Mother and her family insisted on serving spinach and eggs for dinner on Holy Thursday. It was simple...hard boiled eggs and fresh steamed spinach. I have up dated it to an omelette which I fill with spinach and cream cheese. Does anyone know if this is a Hungarian tradition, an Eastern European one or?? Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net
4. RE: [HUNGARY-L] Hungary website [0.980578]
Geza, Yes, the issue arose in my mind because so much has been made over the last century or two about distinguishing between pure Magyars and those who are really of other ethnic backgrounds--German, Slovak, Croatian, etc., but were only Magyarized." Of course there is no pure Magyar blood" going back to the original tribes. It just occurred to me that it would be interesting to learn how many who consider(ed) themselves Magyars could really be traced to the early Magyar settlers. The reading I

I believe I am posting this to an email list that my father closely followed and some of you may be familiar with him. His did a lot of research into the history of the Banat region specifically tracing the Muth family line. My father, John Muth passed away suddenly at his home in Columbus OH this weekend (April 25, 2004). Everything indicates that he suffered a massive heart attack. He was 69 years old. He is survived by his mother Barbera (Elizabeth) and brother Michael, his two sons, Jon and Jeffrey

Edith, You are right, this is confusing. It says that the girl was born in 1872 and baptised in 1869. I hope someone else can explain this... But look at it more carefully. The top line says "year, day and month" -- can't your data be regrouped so as to make more sense? What are in the other columns, if any?

Just received info on where my husband's great uncle was born. Have some of it figured out however don't know it all & would like to confirm the rest. What I was sent is: Fenges litka (not sure if it's one or 2 words) Szabloce Megge ---- figure that's Szablocs Megye (a.k.a. county) Maggar orszag --- think his one is Magyar orszag or Hungary country (bad translation on my part) *Massive* thanx in advance as this is a really huge break for me.

I read an article not too long ago...don't remember if it was on the net or in the paper about some DNA testing now being done that can determine the racial make up and even the ethnic makeup of different people. If memory serves, it can identify only a small sampling of ethnic backgrounds. Perhaps a search on the net would yield some information. Geza is correct in that we all descend from the first man and woman.....though I think they were from the Garden of Eden and thus we are all related some how o
14. RE: [HUNGARY-L] Fiction [0.980578]
Indeed there is a good one--Csardas, by Diane Pearson. You can find quite a few copies of it at amazon.com. A native Hungarian gave a five-star review of the book which follows several families from pre-World War I to the Communist era. I read it years ago and am rereading it now. I appreciate it far more now, having learned quite a bit about Hungary in the interim.

Elizabeth, you've intermingled answers from two different people, creating something that was never implied. 1)My answer was simply in response to your advise to use a SASE. 2) Of course you can use international stamps/coupons with an addressed return envelope if you choose. 3) I'd say an addressed envelope is acceptable. I send one with every request for information I ask for and if it's to someone within my own country, then I will add a stamp. When I was in England last fall, I returned with sev

Thank you Janet for a wonderful article. I have relatives who lived in New York during that time period and gives a sense of atmosphere to how they must have lived. I now have some more informed questions to ask!!! I hope this list will continue to pass on this kind of informal information especially from those who have first hand knowledge of what life was like for an immigrant. I have none surviving to pass that info on and the younger members are not overly interested. So I have to find out fr
19. Re: [HUNGARY-L] advise [0.980578]
Duplicates of all b,d,m's from the kingdom of Hungary prior to the Treaty of Trianon are kept in Budapest. Check with the FHL to see if the town you are interested in has been copied. Only after the Treaty date would you most likely have to go to the Romanian records. I believe these are both church and civil records. When I was in Vienna I went to the Rathaus (city hall) to see about getting copies of my grandmother's birth certificate. I was told in no uncertain terms she was not Austrian. Seems sh
