I'd like to know what life was like in this small area during these years.
What were the politics that governed everyday life?
Who controlled that area - politically, religiously and socially?
What was everyday life for the poorer community - small farmers, farm workers?
What was life like for the "middle class" community - shop keepers and so on?
What was education like for the poor and middle class?
What clothes were available?
What food was eaten?
And so I could continue.
What was the weather, particularly the winters, like? But spring,
summer and autumn too.
What were the illnesses most feared and protection against?
Any leads?

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 19 Dec 2003 18:59 PST

Hello szabo-ga,

I?d be delighted to help you with your research but the scope of your
multiple questions is bigger than I feel I could do justice to within
the Google Answers pricing guidelines.

http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html


My preliminary research shows that there are quite a few resources in
Hungarian but it is difficult to guess whether the historical
information you?re looking for will be available online. I also note
that you have a Hungarian name. Will Hungarian resources be suitable
for you or only sites that have been translated into English?

Here are a couple of starting points for Lake Velence or ?Velencei-tó?

I look forward to your clarification.

Thank you for your response.
I would like each part researched so maybe a quote for each part from
yourself would be the best way to proceed. I am not in a position to
pay a great deal - unfortunately - if I could it would mean I could do
the work myself - and I understand precisely that suitable recompense
should be available.

Please do answer with what you can do - even if it is only partial or one part.

Again, thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate that.

I would also like to thank you for the two web sites you suggested. I
have, in fact, visited them both before. I have also visited the area
on train, bike and foot. My knowledge of Hungarian was too limited to
gather sufficient information within the time span I had - just a few
days.

I speak and translate in French, Italian, German, Spanish plus some
others which might be helpful.

Again thank you.
