I love genealogy research and providing some tips based on my personal experiences is also a labor of love. Covid-19 enforced downtime allowed me to pick my personal research back up and I've been lucky and determined to find ancestors I've been seeking. Then I'm able to share with you!
At this time, I want to thank those GENETEKA volunteer indexers for making this latest research possible without having to travel to Poland possible.
There are very many GENEALOGY SUBJECTS COVERED HERE AT MAGYAR-AMERICAN BLOGSPOT, which is made possible through my own efforts, of course, but also the free GOOGLE BLOGGER so thanks also to Google! My exploration of what it is to be Hungarian- American began because of my genealogy and family history and historical research years ago.
By the way, I've found the Google Translator to be superior to the Microsoft-Bing Translator.
The sidebar has links to a good number of interesting and helpful sites as well.

USING FAMILYSEARCH FOR HUNGARIAN RESEARCH uses the tag/label : Pro tips: FamilySearch for Hungarian Genealogy
FamilySearch boasts having the world's greatest resources, but the lesson still is that there is much more out there than has been collected by any one database. This series started June 19 2019.
GENETEKA - USING THE POLISH GENEALOGY SOCIETY DATABASE for RESEARCH uses the tag/label: Pro Genealogy Tips - Galicia This series started January 2022 (Note that some Hungarians lived in Poland and visa versa and there are some nobility that intermarried also, so be sensitive to surname spelling variations, especially endings such as szke, szky, sky, ski...)
A Note: This database is heavily dependent on church records. Roman Catholic records first, and Greek Catholic, as well as some Lutheran records. It is an ongoing project. You will find intermarriages between people of Hungarian surnames with Poles especially re trade routes such as those on either side of the important Dukla Pass which was traveled by merchants, especially those involved in some aspect of grape growing and wine making.
