Here is a great place to continue the conversation about Hungarians and cemeteries!

Very interesting information on cemetery markers . I probably have visited some of the cemeteries that she covered in Western Pa. A good deal of my family was buried in the BVM (Aka Slovak cemetery) in Portage, Pa. Their markers are in English only. Unfortunately, the church did not keep good records in the early part of 1900’s. We tried to have markers placed on my great grandparents graves. The church could not verify the placement and would not allow markers to be installed

This was a very interesting topic – koszonom szepen!

I remember a story told to me by my mother. In Cleveland there is Calvary Cemetery. On around All Souls Day my mother and her mother went to visit the Calvary graves. It was late in the day and the sun was setting. Calvary closed the gates at dusk and they were stuck inside the gates. So my mother had to help my grandmother climb over the fence! Nagyon vicces!!! HAHA!!!

This was so fascinating! Dr. Fenyvesi was very imformative and easy to follow.
