ARISTOCRACTIC ASSOCIATION OF SLOVAKIA
ARISTOCRATIC ASSOCIATION OF SLOVAKIA (in English) ARE YOU INTERESTED IN REGISTERING YOUR NOBILITY WITH THIS ANTI-COMMUNIST GROUP? You don't have to be Slovak. Just remember that American Citizens do not have titles, give up the right to titles upon citizenship, but you might ask if you can use them when traveling in Europe!
EXCERPTS
The registration in the Noble Register of the Aristocratic Association of Slovakia accepts the strict rules of noble traditions. It is possible to make registration only after presentation of complete prescribed documents (genealogical and historical), which confirm the appurtenance to the noble status. On the other hand, Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic officially approved the Statute of the Aristocratic Association of Slovakia, with the right to certify and confirm the justness of using the noble titles. The Certificate about the noble origin, issued by our Association, is accepted by democratic administrative system and its authorities.
Today we are the only noble organization in the east European countries, which has established and carries the Noble Register. This has brought us the attention of many aristocrats from different European countries, especially form the post-communistic countries. They ask for the confirmation of their nobility through the registration in our Noble register, or they ask for help or advice. So it is happened, that our Association incidentally has got into the function as a central co-ordination workplace for the question of renew of the noble status.

A last point we would like to mention is that the Aristocratic Association of Slovakia is relatively small organization. Today we have about 40 members, 17 of them are registered in our Noble register. The others provide the necessary genealogical documents step by step, and they are in the waiting period. The candidate cannot use his noble title before the registration in Noble register.

HUNGARIANS ARE ALL GERMANS : STEREOTYPES OF HUNGARIANS / HUNGARIAN AMERICANS
I'm not going to indulge in anything close to Nazism here. I'm not looking to eliminate anyone who identifies as Hungarian as not because over generations their Hungarians have mixed with Germans, Slovaks, Ruthenians, or Jews, or anyone in particular.
When it comes to stereotypes of Hungarians though, it seems that this "truism" is often repeated. Sometimes when I hear it coming out of someone's mouth I get the feeling they are being DISMISSIVE of a unique culture, that they even have forgiveness for Hungarians because "really" they are Germans.
Have you had this experience?
(Run the word "stereotype" through the search feature on this Google Blogger to bring up OTHER STEREOTYPES.)
