„Dear Beatrix,

We would like to thank you for all of the work that you have done for us. You have found some amazing information. From the information that my grandmother gave me more than 50 years ago, I would never would have thought that so much more could be found. I’m actually surprised that I kept it all these years.

Again, thank you. Stay safe and healthy.”

„Before a major visit to my grandparents' villages of origins I partnered with this lovely genealogist, Beatrix Dankó who is based in Budapest. She did some really great onsite work with research as well as tracking down living relatives I was able to meet with on my visit. Her prices were very reasonable.

I've researched my family history for almost 40 years. My father's side, the all Hungarian side, was a complete mystery to me. The family had been disfunctional, largely estranged from one another, and I knew very little about them. Gradually piece by tiny piece I collected the breadcrumbs until I had enough info to hire some help, first through ancestry.com, and then through Beatrix Dankó in Budapest. In a few short months I knew where my dad's folks came from and had new, albeit distant, cousins that I travelled to Hungary to meet in 2019.

Thank you so much. I appreciate all the work you have done on my grandfather's family in Hungary. This is wonderful news that there there are still living relatives!”

„I'm very proud of the excellent work of Beatrix, in which she overcame all my expectations regarding the information of my family and the agility in the process of researching my ancestors. She fulfilled a job with a great competence, because in less than one week she has introduced me to some items of the research and some time later I was with all the work in my hands. Therefore I got to know the history and origin of my family. I highly recommend her services.”

„Dear Mrs Danko,

Thank you for your assistance in research of grandparents' history.

These documents have certainly shown me much about my grandfather who was a mystery to me until a few months ago. I did not know he was such an interesting character.

The only photograph of my grandparents (English and Czech) which I possess is a wedding day picture which came to me via a long journey, so tracing their marriage means a lot to me.

I had been trying to research my mother's Czech - Hungarian ancestry for more than 25 years and this record is a wonderful thing to find!

I have traced my family history in England back more than 200 years but until recently researching in Hungary and Czechoslovakia has been very difficult.

Best regards,”

    „Dear Beatrix, I appreciate all the efforts you put into finding my distant relatives - the descendants of my great-grandfathers brother. Thanks to your research, I've not only managed to contact them and meet them in person, you also unfold some interesting information to me about my ancestors.

    “In the name of my husband I would like to say thanks for the sent material.

    We were in family and friend-kind relationship with Gyurka Bocz, way back till the grandparents we knew the whole family, thus it is an extra pleasure for us to get to know their family even more.

    We highly appreciate this work, fully aware the time, endurance was necessary for these data to be recovered and to be put in final form.

    Although we don’t do research, our working years were followed by the local history of our village, collecting and noticing of our folk-art remains.

    (School history, Mill history, Mine memories, Cognomes…)

    Amongst all we also happy for this series and for the expanding of it.

    In our community name Bocz looks back for more centuries, the family of György Bocz had a significant role in the life of this village in the 19 hundreds.

    It is important for us to let the descendants know those who wants according to their circumstances supported the growth and the welsh of the region.

    Once again I would like to thank your kindness and I wish the best for Eastern.

    Sincerely,”
