Very interesting. I will seek out the book to read. My four grandparents are from small Hungarian villages. After doing quite a bit of family genealogy, I am now at the point of looking at the lifestyle and challenges my relatives must have faced. What sort of reason for these deaths was recorded in the death registries? How far back did this practice go? And did the religion of the household seem to make any difference in accepting this practice?

This is my second expo and looking forward to it. My ties to Hungary are through my grandparents who were from Kis Dobrony (now Mala Dobron in Ukraine), Sajovamos, Vors and Hollad (south of Lake Balaton). I grew up and live in Michigan, where my grandparents eventually settled after immigrating in the early 1900s.
