Hello everyone, Well - we finally had a trip to Budapest (in November) that was aborted after only a couple of days due to my father's health. I didn't really get to find much out about the things I wanted to. I am left with trying to obtain his birth certificate now from afar. Major problem is that he was born in what was then and what is now Ukraine - but he insisted his whole life that he was Hungarian. Ethnically, he is - but legally - I am not sure, and he has no idea either and the memories are not coming back. If he was in fact born in Beregovo in 1929, do I need to be going to the Ukranians to try to obtain his birth certificate? Anthony
