    1. [HUNGARY] Voice for surname pronunciation
    2. Cheryl Wenberg
    3. Does anyone know if Rumanian and Hungarian sound alike? Cheryl Subject: Voice for surname pronunciation Cheryl: A web site has been unveiled that enables you to enter a surname or a place name to be spoken online. For instance, if you enter "Balog," both of the English voices will say băl' log, "log" like "dog," "log." Only some of the pronunciations are acceptable while the others are incorrect. An accent is used on wrong syllables, the sound of letters is mixed, and so on. The address is http://say.expressivo.com/. This site is geared to Polish spoken text though. You might be satisfied with foreign pronunciation by the Romanian voice.

    3. There is a town called Szász in Pozsony county. It's line number 7548 on this Gazetteer site: http://www.radixhub.com/radixhub/gazetteers/1877/pozsony.htm It is now called Lehnice-Sása in Slovakia. There don't appear to be any microfilmed records for any of the religions.

    1. [HUNGARY] Braddock Steel Works Explosion 1895
    2. Cheryl Wenberg
    3. The Boston Daily Globe Massachusetts Aug. 21, 1895 None Escaped Explosion At The Steel Works Shook Braddock Pittsburg - The fall of a "hang" in the top of the furnace H, of the EDGAR THOMSON STEEL WORKS, at Braddock, early this morning, caused an explosion which resulted in the death of eight men and the serious injury of others. The accident happened at a time when the number of men was larger than usual about the top of the furnace. Not a man of the entire number escaped without injury, and the majority were either killed or mortally hurt. The character of the disaster is not remarkable at blast furnaces, but the Edgar Thomson plant has been peculiarly unfortunate in this respect, as serious results from the falls of "hangs" at those furnaces have been frequent. The killed are: GRENGO, Braddock LUCKAI, 45 years old, married, three children living, Braddock PROCOPOVIC, John, 27, married, wife survives, from Austria MIKA, John, 28, married, has a family in Austria HAVILA, Stephen, 32, married, wife and three children survive, from Austria MIKA, John, 28, married, has a family in Austria CZOP, Joseph, 31, from Austria DROBUAH, Andrew, 35, married, Braddock KAFINOS, Mike, 26, married, his wife is in the old country. The explosion occurred at 5 o'clock this morning, when preparations were being made for the morning melt. The force of the rush of expanding gas was terrific and frightened the entire town of Braddock. Hundreds of half-clad men, women and children flocked to the mill to inquire the cause of the noise and the result. The majority were Hungarian and Polish women, who live near the mill and had husbands and brothers working at the furnaces. They crowded into the yards over the railroad tracks, which form a net work about the row of furnaces, and could not be forced back. They swarmed through the stock sheds, and soon the air was filled with cries and groans as the mangled bodies were picked up and recognized. The carelessness or ignorance of one of the top fillers, all of whom are Hungarians, gave the opportunity for the greater destruction of life, although the fall of the "hang" was the cause of the explosion. The refuse material which forms a hang had been allowed to accumulate until its size obstructed the free passage of gases generated in the smelting of ore. One of the top fillers dumped a barrow full of stock into the furnace without raising the bell, and this obstructed the opening still more. The top of the furnace was practically closed, in fact, and a force of men was sent at once to the top to remove the barrowful of material which choked up the top. While the men were trying to accomplish this, working directly over the top of the furnace, the "hang" dropped into the molten metal at the bottom of the furnace. At the same instant the gases, which could not escape because of the obstruction at the top, took fire and exploded. With a hideous deafening roar the blinding sheet of flame belched out the top of the furnace, striking the men who were scattered all about it, and blowing them in all directions. The materials loosened at the sides of the furnace by the fall of the hang and the explosion followed the rush of flames, shooting high into the air, and dropped back upon the poor wretches already frightfully burned by the gas. Furnace H is at the lower end of a row of blast furnaces, and is only a short distance from 13th St., Braddock, the Hungarian quarter. Within five minutes after the explosion almost every resident of the Hungarian colony not at work in the mill was at the furnace. The women were frantic, and shrieks and cries filled the air when the workmen began to search for and bring the bodies out of the wreck. Few of the workmen could speak English, and the scene was the more pathetic because of the inability of the workmen to explain to them that the persons they were searching for were not in the wreck. The women rushed hither and thither as the bodies were carried out, and threw themselves upon those which they recognized as a husband or brother. The killed and dying were taken into a building close by, which was turned into a hospital, until the injured could be brought to Pittsburg. Only one man was killed instantly, but the others named among the dead died while being taken to the shed. Some of them were dead before the bottom of the elevator was reached. The position of the men while working at the top of the furnace was such that they had no chance to escape, even if they had had time, and the heat was almost as intense as in the furnace itself. After the first rush the flames poured out of the opening steadily, and it was a hazardous task for the rescuers to go up and bring the bodies down. In addition to the eight dead, there are eight others who are dangerously injured, six of them fatally. The force of the explosion passed through the extreme top of the furnace, which was all that saved it from total destruction.

    1. [HUNGARY] Vermont Hungarians 1909
    2. This article may aid any Vermont Hungarian researchers. It's about the marble industry and the Proctor YMCA in 1903 forming the first Industrial YMCA for workers/ immigrants and consequently a Hungarian immigrant teaching English classes starting in 1909. . There is a Vermont Marble Museum. This site has a group picture of what I presume to be male students/faculty. _http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/20100910/FEATURES11/709109981_ (http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/20100910/FEATURES11/709109981) Marika PS Just a thought. Maybe this is the clue to regaining our manufacturing strength back....more Vocational schools and perhaps a return to the fine qualities of European apprenticeship.

    1. [HUNGARY] Hungarians 1908
    2. Cheryl Wenberg
    3. The Newark Advocate Newark, Ohio April 25, 1908 Theo. SIMMROSS Writes About Hungarians What is a Hungarian, so often called a "Hunky"? They are of the same nationality as the great KOSSUTH who was the first foreign guest at the White House at our capital at Washington. How many more of the Hungarian immigrants in high position have fought for the liberty of the United States? Any scholar or reader is acquainted with American history knows the two ASBOTH brothers, generals in the U.S. Army, who were the originators of the great Central Park, New York. The late General Phillip FIGGELMAN, who was also representing the United States in South America, is another worthy Hungarian. Who were FORNET, RADIMICHOT, F. VARGA, ROZSAFY? All were high officers in the U. S. Army. The only living old fighter for the U.S. liberty, Karl SEMSEY is now in a high position at Ellis Island. Every schoolboy knows who was the hero at the battle at Springfield, Mo. It was Charles ZAGONYI. Those who don't know these historical facts have only to look in the memorial war book. Every business man knows the general of industry, Mr. KUNZ, the automobile and sewing machine manufacturer at Cleveland, Ohio. He employs from 3,000 to 4,000 mechanics. The personal friend of President Roosevelt, Mark BRAUN, is another well known Hungarian. He was a short time ago sent to Asia to study immigration at the expense of the U. S. government. Who doesn't know all the world over, Dr. Arpad GERSTER, professor at the Medical University of New York? I also mention Dr. Arkad MOGYOROSI, professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who was the winner of the contest of the perfect Latin script (the best of 80), now the publisher of the only Latin magazine in the world. Everybody knows who was Prof. JOACHIM, Franz LISZT, Mike MUNKACSY the painter, PUSKAS the old apprentice of Edison, who completed and installed the only telephonic news bureau in the world. Who made CARNEGIE and SCHWAB famous and rich? A poor Hungarian chemist who produced the best steel in the world. Who has not heard the name of Prof. WAMBERG, the personal friend of King Edward of England, the great agriculturalist. The offensive word "Hunky" was first heard of and printed in 1874, (look at the study of Prof. MAGOROSY) by the Pittsburg News, a foreigner not being a Hungarian, but one who formerly resided in Hungary, being asked by the court to what nationality he belonged and not being able to say "Hungarian," said, "I am a Hunky." The Advocate does not make such mistakes as the American Tribune. If there was anything bad or unlawful done by a foreigner that paper calls him, not matter to what nation he belongs, "a Hunky". The Hungarians thanked me for sending an interpreter, Mr. Joseph SANTA, to accompany an Advocate reporter to jail Friday with the result that a correct and truthful statement of the murder story was printed in the Advocate. The American Tribune could have done just as well and made friends by calling one of the interpreters to assist, as there is no charge for this service, and the foreigners would be thankful to be called and classified by their respective national names. The Hungarian language is independent and there can be no mistake made in distinguishing it from any other language. I, the undersigned, have been instructed by the Hungarians of Newark, to make the above statement.
