Interesting map, Jaga. I presume this is relatively recent. I didn't know there was a Hungarian area in Romania!
It says under the legend, "Groups not shown include Gypsies, Jews and Vlachs." I've never heard of the Vlachs. Who are they?

Frank,
yes, exactly. Transylvania in Polish is called "siedmiogrod" - the place with seven town-castles.
This area of Romania is the most interesting one, a very rich in history, with beautiful towns, with minorities of Hungarian and German origin mainly.

A very interesting map: thank you for finding this. Like Suzanne, I wondered what the date of it is. I see in the bottom right corner there is an entry 9-93 - has this any reference to the date? I thought Transylvania was much further north in Romania than the Hungarian area shown?
You have a wondrous supply of all sorts of information -either your computer is almost full or you have a big room at home full of books and papers!
