I cant find where else to put this, but I just felt the following list of Hungarian related websites would be useful

Hungarian Sources and Resources

It is sometimes forgotten that Geni is a communal website, so Geni trees are not the property of individuals, they are a shared resource that can be viewed and enjoyed by all other Geni subscribers. From time to time, either just by accident or after detailed further research, a subscriber may fortunately discover a snippet of information that can further augment a Geni profile managed by someone else. I personally welcome any useful addition to a profile I manage or share. To assist in the further improvement of Hungarian profiles that I and others manage, I am therefore listing below the Hungarian resources that I have found most useful. I have a preference for the free ones, but selecting those which require a moderate payment for membership or a donation, can also have its benefits. There may be several that I have either overlooked or have never even been aware of, so I also invite others to look at the list of Hungarian websites below and make their own further contributions to it.

Great work! Roy, are you Hungarian, or why are you interested in this matter so much?

Hi Dr Mark
No I'm not Hungarian, just married to one for nearly 50 years. I hope by doing all this research, one day I will eventually gain an understanding of her background. Unfortunately, the number of days left is rapidly diminishing!
