My grandfather was born in Bridgeport in 1896. His parents lived and died there. He and some of his siblings moved to the midwest (Chicago and Michigan). I want to go to Bridgeport to further research my family. I found my great grandfather’s grave but not my great grandmothers.

We celebrate our Hungarian heritage by eating Paprikash on a regular basis. Our version is made with chicken, sour cream and paprika and served over noodles. We also love kifli but did not make it at home.

My grandfather was Stephen Kovacs (later changed to Smith). His parents and brother Bela immigrated from Hejce, a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary.

I am looking forward to learning more about the Hungarian culture and history. I have done some geneology research about my relatives on Ancestry.com

I do not speak Hungarian. I am a retired business professor (Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, IN) and my husband is a retired aerospace engineer. We spend time in Louisville KY and Wilmington NC. We love to travel, sail, kayak, hike and fly to pancake breakfasts at local airports.

According to Wikipedia, it is one of the oldest settlements in Hungary, mentioned in records from 1009, when king Stephen I granted it to the episcopate of Eger. Its viniculture was already known around 1600. Count Károly Eszterházy built a palace there in the 18th century.
