I'm trying to determine whether or not this child's name is William. It doesn't sound very Hungarian, and I'm not sure it acutally says Wm. with a line under it or that's what it looks like to me. Could someone with ancestry please take a look? 1900 census.. Cook County Chicago, Illinois Child is listed in home of : Darabos Poll Thank you. :) Anne

Joe, just go to the website http://www.livejournal.com/users/poeticceadsearc/9284.html#cutid1 then right click on the highlighted word Magyarorszag (just on the right it says listen to song) here like I said right click and a drop down menu will appear you will choose "save target as" then just choose where you will put it on your hard drive.

Dear Friends, If anyone is interested I have a CD with 9 Hungarian songs. On it is Magyarorzág by Oláh Ibolya. She has another song "Nem Kell" on this CD. This CD features 5 songs from the great Hungarian group NOX who won the 2005 Eurovision Award for best song. If anyone's interested I could burn(copy) this CD for a small cost. It might save you some money on shipping from Europe. your indebted friend, Gerald "Jerry" Kisabeth P.S. Joe, I will see my wife (the teacher) tonight and ask he about written pronunciation. Also please send me your address privately.

I too am enchanted by her voice and the lovely song. I would love to be able to buy it. It's wonderful. Diane Galante Crystal River, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph M.

We saw their performance last month in Ypsilanti (near Ann Arbor) Michigan. They were very good. Their one number where the groom wanders into the gypsy camp with everyone joining in song on the spoons, and water jug and drums was just like the songs I heard today. I agree about listening to my father and friends... it always seemed the louder they got, they better they sounded... or was it the more whiskey they drank the better they sounded?

Janet, thank you for the website and the great song. When I heard the song and followed with the lyrics and after viewing the program on Link TV it made me call my friend/relative Lászlo Jósa in Budapest on Skype and talked and video conferenced with him for free. I love technology.

Dear friend Lajos Reich sent me the following website for a beautiful Hungarian song along with the lyrics. http://www.danubius.hu/vsz1/93646,normal. After a little practice I found I could follow along with the words as they were sung. It is slow enough that I could hear the unique Hungarian pronunciations. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I have taken the liberty of slightly editing Lajos's translation to English and I am to blame for any and all really bad rendering. No doubt someone else could do a much better job. This is apparently a new song, written by Peter Geszti. Judging by the many websites that contain the lyrics, as well as a documentary on the recording of it, it has created somewhat of a sensation in Hungary.

Thank you Jack!! I set my TIVO to record at 12 pm central time. The time you gave was eastern standard time.

I don't know if LINK is on DISH Satellite. For those interested in looking at the "non-city" Hungarian life, it might be very interesting. Although it's called a documentary, It is not in formal documentary style, but more like a very good home movie. It covers the lives of a small group of musicians in Hungary and their village. While the music wasn't quite what I expected, it was interesting to look beyond the people that are closeup and see the countryside and houses [background] behind them. I missed the first 15 minutes yesterday, but plan to watch it all later today. The name of the specific program is "Parno Graszt Hungarian Gypsy Music" . It is in present day Hungary I believe.
