The problem is there were half a dozen towns/villages named ...Csanád... Besides, you are going back to 15th-16th Century when most folks did not have a surname. The "likelihood" of tracing back the name that far is slim, though nowadays people explain certain surnames with a place origin. Joe Equinunk, PA - USA jjarfas@ezaccess.net

Newsletter Issue No. 39 Events - June 2006 ------------------------------------------------- Two Hungarian Festivals occurred in June, and Magyar Marketing attended both. These annual events, Hungarian Day in New Brunswick, NJ, and the Detroit Hungarian Festival were filled with authentic Hungarian foods, music, and dance. The NJ festival kicked off with their traditional parade, and the Detroit festival sponsored by the Holy Cross Hungarian Parish was a 2-day affair. Another festival is coming up soon in Toronto, Canada. June 23-25, 2006 - Pontozo Hungarian Dance and Music Festival. The PONTOZÓ Festival is a showcase of Hungarian performing ensembles from North America. The first festival was organized in 1975 in New Jersey. The event's main goal is to bring together the best Hungarian folk dance and folk music enthusiasts working on this continent and help them in their dedicated work by allowing them to learn from each other and from knowledgeable experts. The Festival also gives a chance to the audience to witness a spectacular performance, enjoy close to a hundred participants from many Hungarian enclaves in North America! Kis-Balaton - Little Balaton ------------------------------------------------- Most people know Lake Balaton, the largest inland lake in Central Europe. The region of Lake Balaton is a major tourist area, and the shores have been built up to accommodate vacationers. The Kis-Balaton or Little Balaton located southwest of the Balaton, however, is a huge wetland habitat and birdwatcher's paradise. The Kis-Balaton has not given way to development and its shores have large reedy areas. These areas are full of many rare plants and animals. The Kis-Balaton is home to one protected species that has already died out in other parts of Europe, the Great White Egret. The Kis Balaton has managed to survive despite the draining of the marsh in 1922. As a result of the reconstruction of the wetlands started in the mid 1980s, waterfowl have returned to formerly deserted habitats. More recently Hungary’s Ministry of Environment has declared part of this area officially protected. So far over 250 species of birds have been identified as well as other rare plants, insects, and animals. See magyarmarketing.com's Newsletter link to view a picture of the Great White Egret. Travel Tip - Elvira: Timetable of Hungarian Railways ------------------------------------------------- If you will be traveling to Hungary and plan to use the railways, you can plan your trip easily by accessing the Hungarian Railways timetable at www.elvira.hu/ Although it is not possible yet to purchase tickets on-line, the website provides up-to-date information on arrival and departure times. The website can be viewed in Hungarian, German, and English, and the Frequently Asked Questions section is full of useful information. On-Line Dictionary ------------------------------------------------- A great on-line Hungarian-English dictionary is available at www.szotar.sztaki.hu/ SZTAKI stands for Számítástechnikai és Automatizálási Kutató Intézet or Computer and Automation Research Institute.

I am trying to find out more information about the province of Csanad. I know that it doesn't exist today. My grandfather's name was Jozsef Csanadi and someone told my cousin that his family would have been originally from Csanad. I don't know if it is true and wondered if anyone else knows about it. Debi Ross

I am trying to document the exact family connection of a famous/infamous opera singer of Hungary - Jozsef Jaray. My father tells me that my grandmother always called him her cousin. I believe he is related on her mother's side - Molnar - not her father's side - Geroly. He was an opera singer convicted of smuggling and currency dealings. I have a copy of the newspaper article, but it doesn't have a date. Jaray may have been a stage name, I don't know. Debi Ross

I would NOT be at all surprised if they were all Mormon owned. The Mormon's have a great deal of interest in family history research, as the baptism of ancestors is a big part of their religion. I sometimes don't talk about my genealogy hobby just because I know that the general belief around here is that if you do it, you must be Mormon. I'm absolutely not Mormon, have no desire to be Mormon and I slam the door on those nice boys in suits all of the time. However, I have to give thanks to the LDS for making it so easy to research my family inexpensively from anywhere in the world. I've gone to their family history centers and researched in their facility for free. (ok, seriously I just had to go answer the door and found Mormons there!!!) I've never been bothered or "sold" religion while I've been there (though at my home its apparently a different story!). They have given me a lot of amazing resources to find my family, and for that I'm pretty thankful. I don't really care who owns Ancestry. They aren't that expensive, they will soon have all of the UK censuses online and searchable, and that is worth a couple of years of fees for me. At some point I'll be beyond what they can offer and I'll give up my subscription, but for now I don't mind paying for a service that saves me huge amounts of time, travel, and gives me a thrill every time I find someone I hadn't been able to find somewhere else.
