Does your FHC have a scanner? Ours just recently acquired one, and the process is pretty fast. All you really need to do is to through the microfilm on the reader and jot down the page numbers for those you want to copy, then when you are at the scanner you can just forward your film from one to the next. Be sure to use the Greyscale setting--not Black and White. The results are much better--in fact my copies are excellent.

Hello list. I've been off of this list for about a year while looking into another branch of family in Wales. Thought I'd return and repost my Surname from Abara, Zemplen, Hungary circa 1885. Great grandparents came from there and I've developed quite a lengthy family tree back to 1757 Gyorgy Almasi in Abara. Now Abara is located at Oborin, Slovakia. Anyone wanting any info from me or anyone having run across anything relating to my Almasi ancestors I'd appreciate hearing from you. Most of my ancestors settled in Perry County, Ohio and were coal miners and farmers. Some branched into McKeesport, Pa and they ran a butchers shop there among other things. That group changed the spelling of the name to Almasy, my group added the 'HY' in it and most are in Ohio. Hope I didn't bore you and thanks for being there. Cheers, Dan Almashy Always researching the Almasi, Almasy, Almashy family. _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.

Hi Joseph, Thank you very much for the info on the Fuzi name. I had purchased a Family Name History from the Historical Research Center in 1992 as a gift for my father. It had been so long since I read it I didn't know what it said, so I borrowed it today. It said what you had previously told me of the word "Fuz." This is what they had to say: "In Some instances, a habitation name refers to a residence which was distinguished by a sign or engraving usually displayed over the door. In this particular instance, the name Fuzi derives from the old Magyar term "Fuz" (osier, willow), together with the characteristic Hungarian suffix element "....i", and here refers to one whose house was located near to the local willow grove. (Source Ref. Siebmacher) I guess this still does not help me in tracing the origin of the name unless someone knows of an area in Hungary or the previous Austo-Hungary Empire that was famous for it's will tree's or groves.....I should mention that my forefather's were shepards - juhasz, wandering amist the Esterhazy estate and who knows where else!

Yesterday I read mail that I sent to a friend whose family came from the same "up country" village that my family came from. Actually I was informing him about an up cominmg meeting involving voting coming up in Hungary. The intent is to discuss how Hungarian registered voters can vote here in the US. How my mail wound up on "Digest" is beyond me but I enjoy reading it just the same when I have time. Thank you all.

Stockholm, Seden, Wed. 22/2 2006 How do you do. I am new here, and dont know anybody on this mail ring. Do anyone of you members know any Hungarian book of Nobility? Published on the net for search, or as a second option, some printed material I could look for? Mainly interested in Vác. Is there any sensus office one can turn to, on the net? Have tried the Major office, but no reply. Perhaps they do not know any English? My family left Hungary for 199 years ago, so there should bee some trace left, if all has not been burned first, and then some else, by the Bolsheviks. Much oblidged for any information Best regards Hubert __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.

Dear Szandi, Nógrád was split in two between Hungary and Slovakia; the southern half is still Nógrád megye, Hungary. Much of my own research lies on both sides of that border. So it really depends on what villages you are looking at. From what I can see, LDS has not yet covered all of the villages in Slovakia but they are continuing to work on it. The records for one village just became available within the last few months. As for joining "the Slovak List," there is so much overlap between Hungarian and Slovak genealogy, some people join everything available for both. The Slovak-Roots mail list on Yahoo is also quite active. More people should look at both, especially since the same issues arise and questions that may be fully answered on one often come up on the other and have to be answered again. It might be more economical if these sources were combined. We can never have too much information, right?

I have been absent for some time and it is good to be back. The last ancestor died in Vas Megye; all but one daughter (oldest) of six came to America ... unfortunately no males to further the lineage. But the bloodline runs on through me and mine. :) While going through my notes, I ran across something I had written several years ago ... "The surname Pányi is associated with Zemplén Megye a former Hungarian County in Upper-Hungary (now in eastern Slovakia) and Nógád Megye which was a former Hungarian County located about 40 miles NE of Budapest." Question ... do I have to join the Slovakia List to further my research? I believe Zemplén Megye was given to Slovakia in 1920... but I am researching from '1820' Vas Megye, on back. What was the date Nógád Megye was dissolved? Can someone please point me in the right direction? Kind regards, Szandi

Yours is a good example, Szandi. It looks like the name was most commonly written Pányi in the nobility literature, the name taken from the village of Pány in Abauj-Torna megye. Janet
