Jamene, Your ideas sound very interesting. The previous HungaryGenWeb had maps of Hungary with the different borders going back many years. That was part of it's website. Also the subject of crests is very, very interesting to me. Not just seeing pictures of the crests maybe of the different Megyes of Hungary but there are a few web sites that explain the meaning of certain things that are on the crests. For example, the rivers, the mountains are all explained in a website about the crests. It is all very interesting. There is a website that will give the crest for all the megyes of Hungary.

My local Hungarian club invited me to come talk about heading up a committee to determine how such a workshop would be run. A few years ago a scottish society held a workshop and for the fee, everyone got a notebook full of information. They had maps of scotland with the origins of the clans and this map was dated. But with Hungary's borders changing (more than once, am I correct?) I thought it would be good to show the different maps for the different time periods, ending with a present day map that is printed on a clear plastic sheet that could be used as an overlay onto the othere maps...am I describing this clearly? picture a standard size 3 ring school binder, with one section just called maps maybe...I work in a school and I know teachers can run off these plastic sheets in the copy machine...does anyone have such maps that I could reproduce? I would gladly pay. or a suggestion of a book that has such a thing that I could reproduce? and, is there such a map that shows common name areas? did that occur in Hungary as with the clans in scotland? also, is there a knowledgeable genealogist out there who would be willing to come to connecticut and give a lecture about how to find your relatives? we are thing of late spring as it would take a long time to get this well developed. someone had mentioned having a large map posted on an easel. that would be good, but where would I get one? Also, I have seen maps of Hungary with crests around the country..what are the crests for? for names of families or counties or regions? also, are there maps of the different religions? any ideas would be greatful. I am very excited about this...please help me think of ideas, and reference groups, clubs, etc. that could be included in this book... thank you all so much!
