Thank you for your suggestion. I had no idea there were more than the 2 or 3 relatives I knew of; I have communicated with them previously but was only over there years ago when I was very young. I now am trying to understand the geography of the county, as I've heard that there were towns or villages often with a family name, but as so much has changed, the present day maps don't have anything that I've been told. I guess if any distant relatives can give me additional areas and locations perhaps I can find out more, so I thank you for your reply. Does anyone know of any directory of family properties owned before taken by the government? Or anything about the collective farms that Hungarians either were sent to or how the properties were re-distributed later on? My father came to the US in 1957 and was very troubled by the past events of his homeland. Thus, he rarely spoke of past events & now I just want to know where the village was, where he may have grown up.....anything. Unfortunately, I have very little information to go on, but appreciate any help you may be able to give. Sincerely, Andrea There are 14 Moczar listed in Hungary. My suggestion would be to compose a form letter wit some of the pertinent information and have someone translate it in to Hungarian and mail it to these addresses. **************One site has it all.
