b.) Secondly, this Hungarian Village Finder index will list all of the counties which have "Acs," for example. ("Acs" means "carpenter, carpenter's axe, timber." "Banya" or "--banya" refers to the mines. We would expect that several counties would have mines. Just as In Germany there are several villages named "Rosenthal," we see on this Hungarian index that there are more than one county with villages having the same name. (Think about cities in America named "Rochester" and "Utica." Did you know that both New York state and Michigan state have cities with these same names?) | b.)
