Introduction

With the disappearance of Communist Regimes all over Eastern Europe now is a good time to engage in family history research in countries like Hungary. I have to declare an interest, my mother being Hungarian born.
However, going unprepared would be a waste of time - apart from the language difficulties - Hungary has been devastated too many times in wars. Churches and Castles have been burnt, records lost and some territory (2/3rds) has been given to other countries since the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 (mainly Romania - who were given Transylvania, but also Czechoslovakia, Austria and Yugoslavia benefited). Then there are the religious denominations to take into account. But do not be put off by this description, as once you have a grasp of how things work it is possible to achieve much, of course if you have Hungarian ancestors and have retained some of the language and family legends, it helps. Having some Latin would also be useful, especially with Roman Catholic records.

63. Portrait Of Austria-Hungary. History Of The Great Empire And The Habsburg Imperi
hungary was the bigger part of Francis Joseph s empire in regard to its area, and the smallest according to the number of its inhabitants.
http://www.zoltech.net/h/portrait.html
Portraits and Self-Portraits T he Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was the second largest state in Europe. With an area of 676,615 square km in 1914 it was second only to Russia. Its population was the third largest after Russia's and Germany's. According to the last census in 1910, the empire embraced 51,390,223 people.
T he state was officially formed by the Compromise of 1867. It has been commonly referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy since 1868, when Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria and apostolic king of Hungary, ordered that his lands be so called in a royal manuscript.
Although this expressed precisely the constitutional structure of the Dualist Monarchy, it disregarded one of its most important attributes: that it was a multi-national state. In 1910, when people were classified by the language they used in everyday discourse, 25% of all citizens were of German, 17% of Hungarian, 13% of Czech, 3% of Slovene, 2% of Italian nationa-lity, and the rest belonged to various other national minorities. The Monarchy was a genuine product of Central Europe; a place where cultures, nations and nationalities coexisted.
H ungary was the bigger part of Francis Joseph's empire in regard to its area, and the smallest according to the number of its inhabitants. If we are to be precise, then we must include the Countries of the Hungarian Holy Crown, an area of 325,411 square km, with a population of 20.8 million (1910). Compared to Austria, there were almost 8 million less people here occupying a territory that was larger by 25,000 square km. The Countries of the Holy Crown covered the Hungarian Kingdom, the Croatian-Slavonian Kingdom, Fiume and the so-called Hungarian Seabord.

64. Hungarian History
hungary A Short history, by CA Macartney, Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford; Director of the Hungarian Section of the Foreign Office Research Department
http://www.webenetics.com/hungary/history.htm
"There is no more illustrious history than the history of the Magyar Nation... The whole civilized world is indebted to Magyarland for its historic deeds." Theodore Roosevelt, to the Hungarian Parliament,
April 2, 1910
St. Stephen of Hungary . Hungary has also been known for its tolerance which had its foundations as far back as St. Stephen as shown in the remarkable quote below. Make the strangers welcome in this land,
let them keep their languages and customs,
for weak and fragile is the realm which is based
on a single language or on a single set of customs
"(Unius linguae uniusque moris regnum imbecille et fragile est)"

St. Stephen in a letter to his son St. Emeric (Imre), 1036 A.D.. In keeping with the tolerance and enlightened spirit of St. Stephen, the official language of Hungary remained Latin until 1844. Hungary also throughout the centuries gave asylum to many nationalities: in the north, Ruthenians; in the east and Transylvania, Wallachians (Rumanians) and Saxons; in the south, Serbs. Eventually, Hungary would contain 14 distinct national minorities, each developing rich cultures and literary languages, ascending to nobility, and all contributing to the beauty and diversity of the Kingdom of Hungary. Popes throughout the centuries have called Hungary the " Savior of Europe ," and the "Savior of Christianity Hungarian contributions to society . Did you know that Hungarians declared religious freedom in Torda, Transylvania, in 1557? Two centuries earlier, Hungary declared that there was no such thing as a witch. Too bad the feeling didn't reach the poor "witches" of Salem.

Origins. The Magyars arrived in the Carpathian Basin in one of the last waves of the Great Migrations. The ethnic group from which the Magyars originated lived innitially with Finno-Ugric, then with Ugric peoples at the foot of the Ural Mountains, where, around 500 BC the Magyars became a separate ethnic group. The Magyar - which means "man" - dates from this period. Settlement. Statehood. Middle Ages. Fight for Independence. The 19th Century. The World Wars. In 1944 a new Hungarian government was formed in Debrecen, a town in the Eastern part of the country which had by this time been liberated. In February 1946 a republic was proclaimed and a year later in February 1947, representatives of the Hungarian government signed the Paris Peace Treaty, which effectively restored the 1938 Trianon borders. Under the Communist Regime. On October 23, 1956 a popular uprising, which gradually turned into a revolution, broke out against the hated leadership and regime. It was crushed by Soviet troops, and in 1958 the leader of the 1956 revolutionary government, Imre Nagy, and several of his associates were executed. The dictatorship was restored with Soviet support and hundreds fell victim to reprisals. Democracy reborn.

... Europe /Hungary HUNGARY History and Government
History: During the ninth century, Finno-Ugriar nomads came into Hungary via south Russia, settling down in the latter half of the tenth century. The Arpád Dynasty ruled until the end of the 13th century when Hungary was devastated by a Mongol invasion. Matthias Corvinus subsequently re-established Hungary as the leading power in central Europe, also developing Magyar arts and literature. His successor, Laszlo II, undid his work within a few years, and Hungary fell under Turkish sovereignty during the 16th century, re-establishing independence after the Thirty Years’ War. Hungary formed an alliance with Austria and was ruled by a Magyar aristocracy. It remained an essentially feudal state until 1914 (under monarchic and republican regimes), with an antiquated (by European standards) social system which was not fully dismantled until after World War II. Hungary sided with Nazi Germany during the war until 1944, when German troops occupied the country and the Hungarians sought to break the alliance. The Germans in turn were driven out by the Russians in January 1945. By 1949, Hungary had become a Soviet-style socialist state, a member of the Warsaw Pact and a People’s Republic. The ruling Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party was riven by factional splits between pro-Soviet hardliners and the more liberally inclined group around Imre Nagy.

Peter I. Hidas, Ph.D.,
Dawson College A Brief Outline of the History of the Jews of Hungary A speech delivered on 13 December 1992 at the Temple Emanu-El Beth Solom, Westmount, Quebec, Canada Ladies and Gentlemen: I must confess to you that while I am a historian, I am an accidental historian of the Jews of Hungary. Let me explain to you first the adjective "accidental" before I undertake the difficult task of outlining one thousand years of Jewish martyrdom and glory in Hungary. In the Roman province of Pannonia, situated in the western part of present day Hungary, there already lived in the last hundred years of the empire a few Jews, mainly Romanized soldiers and tradesmen. We know little about their fate or the presence of other Jews in the next 500 years but, according to an old coffee house joke, there was continuity. One day, the aristocrat Aristid and Cohen the Jew debated whose forefathers were first in the Danubian valley. Aristid said: "My ancestors crossed the Carpathian mountains in the ninth century!" "My dear Aristid," responded Cohen, "don't you know that my ancestors were already waiting for your people at this side of the Verecke Straights offering for sale maces and other weapons for the conquest?" Who was right? The answer is rabbinical. They were both there first. The Byzantine Emperor Constantine tells us, that some of the tribes of the Khazar nation rebelled against their rulers. The insurgents consisted of three tribes, who were called Kavars or Kabars. The Government prevailed; some of the rebels were slaughtered but some fled the country and settled with the Hungarians who lived at this time in the Ukraine. Amongst the dissident Kabar tribes, who de facto took over the leadership of the Magyar tribes, there were Jews. They together invaded and settled present day Hungary in the 9th century.

Although in later years prior to World War I, a pretender to the monarchy, the Archduke Otto, sought from his exile in Brussells to restore the Hapsburg dynasty, this never came to pass and Charles I remained the last ruler of the Hapsburg line.

Photographs Documenting the Holocaust in Hungary
Introduction, by Harry W. Mazal OBE: Many people know - although many of them very much want to forget, and many more want to make others forget - that the Nazis and their European accomplices murdered six million Jews by employing various methods, such as hunger, beating, hanging, shooting, gassing, etc. during the Second World War. Nearly one tenth of the victims were Hungarian Jews, which means approximately 550,000 people. This estimate is based on a sound research of archival documents. The reasons why the Hungarian Parliament agreed to pass the severely unlawful First Jewish Law is a subject of a historical debate. According to the traditional opinion it was meant to be a token of "good" intentions towards Hitler’s Reich, the neighbor of which Hungary became after the Anschluss (the Nazi Third Reich annexed Austria in March 1938). It is also possible that the right-wing conservative politicians aimed to take the wind out of the sails of the extreme right. It may well be that the example of the fascist Italy also exercised a considerable influence, since Mussolini in the same year passed anti-Semitic laws and decrees, with which he surprised even the members of his own party. Three anti-Semitic laws completed the exclusion of the Hungarian Jews between 1938 and 1941. The first two laws made their economic situation more and more difficult; the Third Jewish Law, which was passed in 1941, however, was a real, Nuremberg-type, racial law introducing "race-protective" orders.

DG INTERPRETATION and the enlargement Hungary HUNGARIAN HISTORY The ancestors of the Hungarians, or "Magyars", lived in the Ural Mountains. They had close linguistic ties with other Finno-Ugrian peoples and shared certain anthropological and cultural traits with the Turks. In the 2nd millennium BC they began a nomadic lifestyle based on cattle-breeding; this led to a period of westward migration which brought them into contact with several tribes, including the Alan, Turkish and Kazar ethnic groups. The Carpathian Basin, in which Hungary lies, has been populated by successive peoples for thousands of years. One such tribe was the nomadic Magyars, who reached the area as early as the mid-8th century. Known for their equestrian skills, the Magyars raided far and wide, until they were stopped by the Germans in 955. The defeat left the Magyar tribes in disarray, and later forced them into an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire. In the year 1000, the Magyar prince Stephen was crowned 'Christian King' Stephen I, with a crown sent from Rome by the pope, and Hungary, the kingdom and the nation, was officially born. Stephen ruthlessly set about consolidating royal authority by expropriating land, establishing a system of counties, and evangelising the countryside. By the time of his death in 1038, Hungary was a nascent Christian culture, increasingly westward-looking and multi-ethnic.

I. About the Course
This course is an introduction to Hungarian history and culture. At the end of the 9th century, seven wild nomadic tribes, about a few hundred thousand people, arrived to the Carpathian Basin from the foot of the Ural Mountains, in the east. They occupied this sporadically populated basin, which was protected from every quarter, because it suited their pastoral-agricultural lifestyle perfectly. They formed a kingdom based on Christianity and from that time forward Hungary played a crucial role in Europe's life. This course is open for everyone, regardless to any prior qualifications. No prerequisite is required. People who are interested in taking this course will track the challenging thousand-year development of Hungary, in the heart of Europe. Hungary celebrated the first millennium of its statehood in the year 2000. It provides a valuable opportunity to people all around the world to learn how this once powerful empire became one of Europe's smallest countries. Students will also learn about Hungary's unique geographical and political position, as a connecting bridge between the east and the west. The course is composed of two sessions, one historical and one cultural.

During 1936 through 1938 Alan Turing was a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton and did his dissertation under Alonzo Church. Von Neumann invited Turing to stay on at the Institute as his assistant but he preferred to return to Cambridge; a year later Turing was involved in war work at Bletchley Park. This visit occurred shortly after Turing's publication of his 1934 paper "On Computable Numbers with an Application to the Entscheidungs-problem" which involved the concepts of logical design and the universal machine. It must be concluded that von Neumann knew of Turing's ideas, though whether he applied them to the design of the IAS Machine ten years later is questionable.

History of Hungary - Chronological Survey: 2500 BC - 1000 AD
2500-2000 BC The Magyars (ancestors of the Hungarians) emerge from among the Finno-Ugrian tribes inhabiting the region between the river Volga and the Ural Mountains. The Hungarian belongs to the Finno-Ugrian division ot the Ural-Altaic language family and is distantly related to Finnish and Estonian and yet more distantly to Turkish and Manchu (spoken once in Manchuria, China). Hungarian is one of the few languages with non-indo-European origins in Europe. 1000 BC Switch from fishing and hunting to raising livestock especially horses. 1000-500 BC The Magyars detach themselves from the other Ugrian peoples and come into contact with Turkish tribes.Beginning of referring themselves as Magyars. 7th century The Magyars begin their migration from the Ural mountains towards the Black Sea. 8th century They went on wandering westwards to the Don region, where they came under control of the flourishing Khazar empire. The expanding power of Scandinavian river pirates triggers a wave of nomad migration westwards. The Pechenegs who flee westwards fall upon the Magyars, the Magyars in turn flee westwards and in 895 reach the farthest extremity of the European steppe - the plain of Hungary.
