Wow! This is so interesting! I think there was a lot of movement into Hungary to help repopulate as well as work the land. We possibly also have relatives with an Italian connection. It would be interesting to know the various waves of immigration into Hungary and the whys behind it!

I grew up in Youngstown!

I don’t think one thinks to ask the questions until they are older. At least that was my situation!

I have heard great things about these history classes!

Hi Amy!

We lived in Seward, Nebraska for many years! And I love a good Runza!

How great to be a Fulbright Scholar and have had the opportunity to travel to Hungary — it is an amazing place to visit!

You will definitely get more info on citizenship possibilities at the Expo this year!

Enjoy the presentations!

Hi Lory!

Welcome! We’re so glad you are here!

I guess all that Hungarian you heard as a youngster stuck in your brain and it comes out with great pronunciation! I have a similar problem. I can read and pronounce well but need to really, really work on my vocabulary!

I bet your family is thrilled you still cook and bake Hungarian foods — are your recipes written down? Has anyone in the next generation (kids, nieces, nephews or grands) expressed an interest in cooking/baking or are they just all about the eating?

I am Liz (Szabo) Vos and I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio with an active Hungarian community. I am not a fluent speaker but I am passionate about Hungarian things. 3 of my 4 grandparents were born in Hungary and all of my great-grandparents were born in Hungary (or what was Hungary at that time).
