Subject: Great Grandfathers
My Great-Grandfather is Geza Duna, and I am the grandson of Raymond Duna. I was doing a whole bunch of research today (because I'm a curious person), and finding out a little bit more about our lineage.
Our families who immigrated here from Hungary in the early 1900's were the first look Americans had come to know about gypsies, and we shattered their perception of what a Gypsy (Roma) really is.
It is unfortunate the amount of persecution that our ancestors had to over come, only to be letting our heritage be forgotten. I can't let that happen.
I'm going to start a path that I should have taken a long time ago. Path that I have always felt deep in my heart, but never pursued. Thank you for reintroducing me to the music that I grew up know, and wish all of those who commented here a blessing to continue their families tradition.
God Bless,
Geza

What beautiful music, and what a treat for me to hear is, as it is my Great-Grandfather!
I have a very old album of his at home, but no turntable, and serious doubts of the playability of the record anyway!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to whomever uploaded this. You really put a smile on my face.
