  1. Hungarian Special Interest Group 2005 Report

  2. Mission JewishGen's Hungarian Special Interest Group (H-SIG) is for those with Jewish roots in the area known as "greater Hungary" or pre-Trianon Hungary and covers all those areas that were once predominantly Hungarian-speaking. This includes all of present-day Hungary and Slovakia and lands that are now within Romania, the Ukraine, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia.
