Now that this subject has been mentioned, perhaps someone can give me some guidance. I have been to Hungary (on tours, cruises, etc.) which whet my appetite to pursue genealogy of my ancestors. I have detailed records of 2 of my grandfathers' families up through 1895.. but since they both left about 100 years ago the family ties have been broken. As I know of the actual villages, how do I make a fruitful contact with someone there? I do not speak Hungarian but have ventured on my own there and am not hesitant to pursue any realistic path. I have another opportunity to go, but don't want to wander around in strange villages trying to find someone to guide me. Have others found techniques to make the trip worthwhile? I am open to suggestions. Jim Lakatos
