SARASOTA FLORIDA HUNGARIANS / AMERICAN HUNGARANS : KOSSUTH CLUB


AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FEDERATION : KOSSUTH CLUB


HUNGARY TODAY : SARASOTA HUNGARIANS and KOSSUTH CLUB

Excerpt: The Education Fund provides Kossuth Club scholarships to college-bound seniors of Hungarian descent in Sarasota and Manatee Counties and to Hungarian minority students in Central Europe. ...

How many Hungarians live in this area?  Eva and Geza estimate that there may be some 50-60- thousand scattered over an elongated stretch of coastal areas from Tampa to Naples.  But Sarasota is the cultural capital!

TOLEDO OHIO HUNGARIANS



HUNGARIAN CLUB OF TOLEDO   

I was unable to find an official web site for this active group, other than Facebook.  I personally have never done Facebook but I realize some people like it.  So, I will allow you to do your own bit of research in order to connect with your Hungarian and American-Hungarian peers in Toledo.  For those of you, who are like me, not familiar with Toledo, they are in the Birmingham area and it appears they have a club house.

The group appears to be very active and get involved in local festivals like the Beer and Bacon. 

If you're a member of this club, please use COMMENTS to tell us more


PS:  Ohio and New Jersey have the most people of Hungarian or American-Hungarian descent.

WEST VIRGINIA HUNGARIANS : I WANT TO LEARN MORE


Hungarians came to mine coal in West Virginia... and in Fairmont, West Virginia, from 1939-1960 there was a "First Hungarian Day" celebrated, an annual event held by a group of Hungarian Americans. I'm linking to a West Virginia Encyclopedia page that has a bit of a story about this group of immigrants.

"In 1890, there were 236 native Hungarians in West Virginia. By 1900, there were 1,062 Hungarians in the state, with about half of them split evenly between McDowell and Marion counties. Most were coal miners. The 1910 census lists a total of 5,939 Hungarians in West Virginia, although the influx slowed as indicated by the 1920 census listing 6,260, with Logan and McDowell counties with the greatest number. Hungarians were the second most numerous immigrant group in West Virginia mines after the turn of the 20th century, with Italians being first."

Could any of you from a West Virginia and Hungarian heritage tell me more?


September 2019 - Lots of hits lately on this club post!  Welcome all you Hungarian- West Virginians!
