Hi Fred. I cannot help you with your research, but welcome to the forum anyway.

In the past I also did some research on my family (British) and my wife (Hungarian) extensively researched hers. Technically, it was quite a job. She put everything in a computerised system called Family Tree Maker. When she ran out of steam, I think she uploaded it all to the Mormon database in Utah.

Maybe you should tell us the names of the people as perhaps we can guess where they come from by their names. Long shot, I know but there plenty of brains joining in here who could contribute.

How are your language skills? Hungarian? German?
