References and credits

During compilation of resources of RadixHub the following materials have been used.

  • Coordinates of settlements (for most of the times) have been taken from the Global Gazetteer available on the Fallingrain.com site: Global gazetteer.
  • For matching historical and current place names I used the 1998 edition of place name identifier by Lelkes: Magyar helységnév-azonosító szótár / ed. by György Lelkes. – 2nd, enhanced ed. – Baja : Talma Könyvkiadó, 1998. – ISBN 963 85683 1 3.
  • For identifying and locating places in the 19th and earlier centuries I have perused the DVD editions of Hungary’s First and Second Military Surveys, published by Arcanum: The First Military Survey, The Second Military Survey.
  • The 1:200,000 military topographic maps based on the 3rd Military Survey proved to be helpful in the location of a couple of places.
  • Árpád E. Varga’s collection Erdély etnikai és felekezeti statisztikája (1850-1992) has a gazetteer that has been useful in identifying several places in Transylvania that were not listed in the 1913 gazetteer.
