Hi Jamene, I have been working with the LDS Family History Centers for 16 years and my advise to you about a Genealogy Seminar is to visit a local Family History Center and get familiar with what they have. You can log onto the www.familysearch.org from your computer at home. They ask you to register, but do not panick, as the use of the site is absolutely FREE. Once the site comes on, click on the tab LIBRARY and go down to the Library Catalog. If you know the name of the town(s) you are looking for, click on Place Search. When that window comes up, type in the name of the town in the first box and Hungary in the second box. In most cases, the next screen will have the country, county, town printed in BLUE - click on this. I used Hungary, Borsod, Kisgyor and two items came up: Church Records & Civil Registration. Again, click on the BLUE (Anyakonyvek, 1750-1895). It tells me on the next screen that the Mormons have filmed the Reformatus (Reformed) Egyhaz (Church), Kisgyor. In the upper right corner of this screen is a box that says View Film Notes. Click on this box. The page that comes up tells you that this is a church register with Baptisms, Marriages & Deaths or Burials. The number in the Vault Intl Film box is the film that you would order. Remember that Hungary was originally twice as big as it is today, so the LDS filmed everything that was in the local archives in Hungary, whether it is now in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Yugoslavia, etc. Click on Research Helps - Articles - Hungarian Genealogical Word List - This list is a PDF and you can download it to your printer. I have found over the years that I cannot do Hungarian Research without this dictionary. Have speakers that are familiar with Hungarian Research that can share their experience with research. You will need Group Sheets, Research Logs and the Family History Center near you can provide you with literature needed and advise. If you have further questions, please contact me. Good Luck.

I have suggested to them that they consider doing a one day seminar on Hungarian genealogy (as the local Irish club has done this and it was very profitable and had a great turn out). I would like to be able to bring ideas to the board as to how this could be set up, what materials could be given out, outlines, examples, and specific areas that should be addressed. If this were done by late winter, we would have time to gather materials. I would appreciate any and all suggestions from everyone as I think this would be of great interest to many peoople. Anyone out there from CT or near by who has expertise in such a thing?
