Hello,
I don't know what language it was in. I asked her to write it in the most read and current Hungarian. I couldn't read it! LOL! And I didn't save a copy. I sent the same letters out to everyone. I found a Hungarian genealogy site that said when writing letters it may take up to 6 months to get a response; if you get one at all. It said with many Hungarians a person needs to earn their trust before they will respond.
http://hungaria.org/hal/genealogia/index.php?&newsid=316 I have my great grandfather's death certificate which says he was born in Shonvar, Austria; which I cannot locate anywhere. All I know is that it was an area around where modern Poland is now. He was born there but all other records indicate they actually lived in Humenne.
No I haven't started researching Humenne yet. Upon stopping my family's research; to do my cousin's; I had only as far back as when they came over. I have still go research information in Humenne.
Sincerely,
