Happy Holidays from Magyar Roots!
As the year draws to a close, we find ourselves immersed in the magic of the holiday season. It's a time of bright lights, familiar traditions, and, most importantly, deep reflections on family and connections. We gather around tables, sharing memories and stories, perhaps wondering about the voices and faces from generations past who first carried these traditions forward.
The cherished stories that define us, those passed down through whispered tales and old photographs, are the greatest heirlooms we possess. They are the foundation of who we are today. This year, we invite you to honor that legacy by transforming those cherished family fragments into a complete, well-documented narrative.
At Magyar Roots, our greatest joy is connecting people to their roots. We believe every ancestor deserves to be remembered, and every family deserves to know their full story. As a thank you for being a part of our community and to celebrate this season of family & connection, we are delighted to offer 30% off all professional genealogy research services.
Let us help you find the missing chapters in your family's history, the perfect, enduring gift for the entire family. This special holiday discount is valid until Sunday, December 28th, so please contact us before then to lock in your free estimate.
At Magyar Roots, our primary objective is to provide comprehensive support to individuals engaged in Hungarian genealogy research. Through collaborative information-sharing and collective efforts, we endeavor to overcome genealogical challenges and breakthrough ancestral barriers, thereby uncovering invaluable insights into our Hungarian lineage.
Originally established in 2010 under the name Hungary Exchange, Magyar Roots is proud to reintroduce itself with an enhanced website experience. We extend a warm invitation to revisit our platform, where a wealth of resources awaits, including our newly available gazetteer maps. These maps serve as indispensable tools for navigating Hungarian ancestral landscapes with precision and depth.
Additionally, we encourage individuals to leverage the vibrant community housed within our Facebook group, which boasts an engaged membership of over 7,000 individuals. We are dedicated to assisting you on your genealogical journey and look forward to supporting your endeavors.
