I grew up spending my summers with my Mama and Papa in Erd,Hungary. My Mama and mother are amazing cooks, so I've enjoyed many Hungarian foods. Some of this are listed on the above link.  The link started my recent conversation with a friend who has an interest in history and genealogy which has inspired me to find out more about my Hungarian and Romanian ancestors. 

To start, I need to find records from my maternal side and since most records were kept in churches I will be starting my research with the Nagygec Templom (church) Reformist church, Roman style, built in 1300's. Currently there are small groups of archaeologists working on the history of the church. So my first stop will be contacting them. I found these beautiful pictures online, but I have been fortunate to see the church myself about 18 years ago. The ceiling tiles were being restored.
