[Lori Rogers-Stokes]

Lori vagyok and my mother’s family are from Rudabanyácska in far-eastern Hungary. I grew up in Nebraska, and had to work to recover the Hungarian identity my mother left behind. I started learning the language about 15 years ago, and my daughter Juli has taken it much further–she became a Hungarian citizen last November! and she’s pretty fluent. My mother’s family name is Sós, and we have Kukóly, Jurkó, and Czirbusz relatives as well. If DNA tests are to be believed, I have 12% Magyar DNA! Happy to be here with you all.

PS: My favorite magyar foods are probably poppyseed kolácsi and bableves.
