Petőfi Irodalmi Múzeum (Petőfi Museum of Literature, Budapest, Hungary) announced the addition of two databases to their website services. Both of them are based on the works by the celebrated Hungarian genealogist János József Gudenus.

The first one is the online version of volumes A-P of his praised "A magyarországi főnemesség XX. századi genealógiája" (The 20th century genealogy of the Hungarian aristocracy). (Volumes Q-Z to be added later.)

The second one is less explained. It's called "Magyar családtörténeti adattár" (Hungarian family history database). What is its coverage? - unknown. Have to dig into it.

To access these resources together with other goodies on the site go to the website of the museum, click on "Adatbázisok" on the left menu, click on the picture on the right site and pick the database you would like to use.

While on the site you don't want to miss the "Magyar életrajzi index" database. This indexes Hungarian biographical collection books and periodicals - 617 as of today with some 151,000 records.
