JewishGen's Hungarian Special Interest Group (H-SIG) is for those with Jewish roots in the area known as "Greater Hungary" or pre-Trianon Hungary and covers all those areas that were once predominantly Hungarian-speaking. This includes all of present-day Hungary and Slovakia and territory now within Romania, the Ukraine, Austria (including present-day Burgenland), Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia.

We have added a partial list of Jewish Austro-Hungarian soldiers awarded medals for bravery or awarded the Highest Citation in the battles against Italy and Prussia in 1866 donated by Fritz Neubauer and Nolan Altman. Refer to the Names Lists Section of Data.

The H-SIG business meeting was held at the 2007 IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Salt Lake City, Utah. Click here to see the slide presentation from the business meeting.

We have added a list of headstones from the Humenne cemetery to the "Cemeteries" section of Data. These were photographed by Bobbie Furst. Benjamin Schoenbrun transcribed all legible stones and cross-referenced to an earlier list Bert Gross created. This transcription will be added to JOWBR in the future.
