Biography
I think most peoples' interests in family genealogy usually begins at family gatherings, like a funeral or reunion. I know that was the case for me while a teenager because in three consecutive years, I lost a beloved grandparent. Each time the trek to the graveyards during the funerals brought me to headstones surrounding the newly deceased grandparent and each time, most everyone did not know how they were related. I put the family jigsaw puzzle together by identifying everyone through the records office, church records and obituaries.
My genealogical forays were furthered when I took a course and studied under Dorothy Dehn, a DAR genealogist. Later, I was lucky to finish a certificate program at Brigham Young in the early 80's and began to help other people with their genealogical queries on the side.
My roots are not very "American"; my earliest immigrant settler was from France and sailed down the Erie Canal from New York in 1827. I spent years reading French microfilms for my own Alsatian ancestry. My mother is largely Eastern European so I branched out in microfilms from Hungary, Slovakia and Russia Poland. My children's roots have taken me through American records, specifically colonial New Jersey and old Philadelphia. Recently, I tackled my impossible Irish ancestors in county Kerry with slow but steady research in their government records.
Projects
I lead the new Hungary Project. I also lead the Polish Roots Poland Project as well as the Slavic Roots project.
I am also the leader of the Slovak Roots project.
I feel privileged to help out with the The Holocaust Project with the lovely and brilliant Eowyn. It was created by the amazingly gifted project coordinator Gaile.
I lead the Irish Roots sub-project for county Kerry while I break bricks walls on my impossible Irish roots as well as my own One Name Study for the Delahunty Name Study and the Trant Name Study.
I am also co-leader of the Donauschwaben Project and the Volhynia project.
My kids have Quaker ancestors. If you have Early Penn ancestors, check out the William Penn project William Penn project which the phenomenal leader, SJ Baty, keeps it in motion for WikiTree.
Although I have no family connections, you will find me cleaning up certain colonial Virginia profiles for the U.S. History project as well as any Quaker settlers in colonial New Jersey for the New Jersey project.
My Personal Projects
My brickwalls are my Abrahams in Russia; my one "Italian" ancestor in 1800's Florsheim, Germany; one of my Irish Mahony ancestral lines; Plus, I have two great-great-grandmothers who were both named Ellen Sullivan, both born in Kerry, and both buried in the same cemetery! I did make great progress with my Palatinate Stumpfs recently as well as one of my other Mahony lines so I am thankful for little breakthroughs.
My Hungarian Ancestry
I occasionally lend a hand in the Magyarország, Slovensko and other Slavic category projects at WikiTree. I can also help read Hungarian records or any records written in Latin if you need assistance. If you have a profile of a Hungarian ancestor here at WikiTree, let me know if you need sources. If you have found naturalization records or passenger records but can not understand/read the village for your immigrant Hungarian ancestor because of historical boundary changes, I will help pinpoint location.
I used to co-administer, with genealogist Nick Gombash, the Hungary Exchange genealogy group. I also have a rare Hungarian One Name Study registered with the One Name Guild. The Study is hosted by the Guild at their website Stermenszky One Name Study.
My back-up files (upload: 2016) are on RootsWeb. Stermenszky Files. I am still in process of moving them all to WikiTree.
My Hungary surnames are:
Nagy, Stermenszky, Sebő, Rakai, Lorintz, Adam, Simon, Rozgany, Zsebik/Sebik, Farkas, Petö, Danko, Gyerus, Haluska, Vladikovsky/Hladikovsky, Polgaŕ, Söss/Sass, Plachetka, Chudi/Chudy, Kovacs, Mész, Szabo, Soka/Zsoka, Fabriczky, Istvanek/Istvanyik/Stephanik, Gothard, Skolnik, Pal, Gaal, Gäll, Császár, Svab.
Locations in Hungary (and some now in Slovakia):
Abaúj-Torna: Vendégi, Bódva-Vendégi (Hostovice), Jablonca (Silická Jablonica), Szin, Bódvaszilas, Szögliget, Varbóc, Hidvégardó, Derenk (extinct), Zubogy, Szádalmás/Almás (Jablonov nad Turňou), Körtvélyes (Hrušov).

My Ancestors Research Statistics
Genealogy is not a race; statistics in genealogy is not necessary but creating a chart of your progress does make one work harder. After 40 + years of research, I know what records I need to continue onward in this crazy journey back on ancestors. It ALL depends on records. For example, with my Irish line, they will never go back very far because the records for a few of them simply do not exist. For my one Polish ancestor Wawrzyniec Kosakowski, I know I will be able to confirm to his parents and grandparents once I get through reading the Russian language in those records.

Also, I want to sponsor a person who has most of her tree on Ancestry.com, but which is quite small compared to mine. She is related to me through my paternal GG-grandfather, and so would only need to connect to him to get the Wikitree benefits. So how do I go about getting her established?
It is important for me to be an active manager on this profile, and not only on the trusted list.
Kind regards, Philip van der Walt

A bunch of Hungary Project profiles are coming up with the category CHungary Project Member. (even yours) Is there a problem with a template?
Natalie
Re: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:CHungary_Project_Members
I know that Steven was trying to help me create a category that holds ONLY the Hungary Project MEMBERS.
I am a little lost with it. Thanks.
I'm not a member of your project, but I do have a question. My maiden name is Andrews, and in tracing my lineage I came across a claim that my ancestor Robert d'Audrieu (1046-1076) was the illegitimate son of Andrew I Arpad, King of Hungary and Adelais d'Audrieu during the time of King Andrew's wandering exile in Bohemia, Poland, and Russia. Adelais was from Normandy. I have been told emphatically that Andrew had no children before his marriage to the daughter of Yaroslav, the Wise. However, since he was a pagan at that time, it does not seem reasonable that he would be celibate in his relationships with women. Do you think this connection is possible?
Thanks.
Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

I'm fluent in all forms of Hungarian, but the English part of the page is a bit confusing to me, so I'm not sure if the translation is correct or not. (Either the English is saying the same thing multiple times, or I'm missing a distinction somewhere.) Also, is the stuff in curly brackets supposed to be translated ("member" -> "tag")?
In the interest of avoiding repeated effort, is there a well-formatted and clearly-written project member page from a different project that we could copy? Once the English is as clear & clean as we can get it, I'll be happy to translate it all.
Thanks for your update today to Anthony Jephson. I have checked it and think it actually refers to his father who was also an Anthony Jephson and was married twice, Let me know if you think otherwise. Thanks Chris Jephson
As one of the co-leaders of the European Aristocrats project, I'm messaging to inform you that we are removing the "House Assignments" from our project structure. You are absolutely still welcome to work on the profiles from the families that you chose, we are simply removing the official House Assignments as, for the most part, people choose to work on whichever profiles interest them. We're glad to have you in the project and we hope that you continue to work with us!

And if you can please add your question that you will be working on or the profile marked "needs profiles created" for the challenge. Thanks.

OPS: Your bio presents a fascinating ancestry!
My father, who stated his birth as in Frankfurt, DE, didn't know who his father was. I sense that he was left off his German mother's instructions at dad's birth, in 1905-7. That line of Germans and possible Jews is the blank line. How do I research it?
