2007 Report
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 part of
Hungary before World War I.
This includes all of present-day
Hungary and Slovakia and lands
that are now within Romania, the
Ukraine, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia,
and Serbia.
