Hi, I am researching town of HERCEGSZÁNTÓ in current Hungary, and for some
reason Town Search does not give anything, but when I tried get some people

from that town, I got results.

Not only HERCEGSZÁNTÓ does not appear in Town Search, but even a district
town of Bacs-Kiskun.

Any idea why these towns are missing >from the Town Search?

Moderator: The JewishGen Jewish Communities Database lists about 5,000 places that
had identifiable Jewish communities in contrast to JewishGen's ShtetlSeeker, which
includes over 1 million locations. Hercegszántó,a small place located about 107
miles south of Budapest, is included in JewishGen's ShtetlSeeker. For more information

Not so much in answer to the question, but a general tip: hungarian spelling=
changed around the time of the first world war (or possibly a bit later),=
and "c" replaced the older form of "cz". (but as far as i know, the=
pronunciation remained exactly the same.)

in at least one source, bogardi.com's 1913 gazetteer of "greater hungary",=
it is spelled herczegsza'nto', with a "z".
