Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups. | Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country.

==Hungarian Diaspora== | |||
*Hungarian diaspora is a term that encompasses the total ethnic Hungarian population located outside current-day Hungary. | |||
*There are two main groups of the diaspora. | |||
:*The first group includes those who are indigenous rather than descended from migrants or colonists to their homeland and '''live outside Hungary since the border changes''' of the post-World War I Treaty of Trianon of 1920. The victorious forces redrew the borders of Hungary so that it '''runs through Hungarian majority areas'''. As a consequence, 3.3 million Hungarians found themselves outside the new borders. | |||
:*The other main group is the emigrants who '''left Hungary''' at various times (such as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956). | |||
*Hungarian immigration patterns to Western Europe increased in the 1990s and especially since 2004, after Hungary's admission in the European Union. Thousands of Hungarians from Hungary sought available work through '''guest-worker contracts in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal'''. | |||
