As I and others have written, Hungarian Jewry is probably more intra-related than any other Jewish community in history (see the article "The Family Tree of Hungarian Jewry" by Prof. Erno Marton in Hungarian Jewish Studies Volume I, edited by Randolph Braham). Therefore the more subscribers the greater likelihood of discovering common family names and connections. As you may already know the recently published book by Miriam Weiner, Jewish roots in Ukraine and Moldova has the most extant authoritative inventory of Jewish records for Subcarpathian Ruthenia. The price for this impressive book is listed at $60 and no discounting is allowed. However, I still have a number of copies for sale and I can still offer the best price by sharing the cost of postage and materials. The book weighs over 6 pounds and the average postage in the U.S. is over $8.00. I received a bulk purchase discount of 20%. The difference goes to fund h-sig projects. If interested please make payment of $64 to JDCO / POB 34152/ Cleveland, Ohio 44134. mod.- I accidentally just approved a message in MIME format. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to anyone.LS visit our website- http://www.jewishgen.org/Hungary
