A Traveler In The Foreign Service: A Guys Road Trip To Transylvania {Gadling}

Feb 3rd 2013 2:00PM No census was done here until 1930. What you refer on it, it's just tax contributors/families list. Besides that, the vast majority of romanian local natives whom had the privilege to be registred, had theire names "hungarised".
Sometimes, you have to digg a little deeper (than the volunteer written wikipedia) in order to make this kind of "historical" references...

As per the gypsies, prostitutes, poverty, i am pretty sure that you can find it in thousands of places in US...thus, some may not need to come all the way to Romania or Hungary for this...
