All,
I recently learned about the death of Robert Neu, who served for many years as coordinator of the 1848 Hungarian Jewish Census records project, which was the first major component of the JewishGen's collection of Hungarian census records. Even though his health had been in decline for some time, Robert's enthusiasm and commitment to Hungarian Jewish family research never waned. Those of you who worked with him on the 1848 records will recognize that his coordination of this project was of extraordinary value and will remain a fitting testament to him. The index of the 1848 census records was one of the first major additions to JewishGen's Hungarian database and it has helped hundreds, if not thousands of researchers, trace their Hungarian Jewish families.
