Noodle Trails 2, a Genealogy Adventure: My Secret Century in Budapest (Noodle Trails, travel memoirs)

â€œDonâ€™t ever bring this up again.â€ Mom and Dad to me, 1977â€œThis book brings up everything I could fit in.â€Me to you, forty years later, 2017In this humorous and inspiring senior travel memoir, Eileen Kay celebrated her 60th birthday by disobeying an old parental edict: she flew to Hungary and investigated family mysteries. She knew nothing about her ancestors, knew no one there, and did not speak a word of their eccentric language, but started with a few names and a lot of questions. That trip turned into three years of research, and the family tree grew to hundreds of characters. Like a detective story, their weird and wonderful saga unfolded, of mixed races and extremely mixed fortunes, feuds and secrets and more, spanning over a century with an international cast. She found long-lost living cousins whose branches hadnâ€™t spoken in a hundred years and made friends with them, made other friends too, came to love the city, became a devotee of flodni cake, and before she knew it, Budapest declared her a resident. Eileen Kay is an ex-comedienne, ex-film editor, ex-importer and author of â€œNoodle Trails, a Travel Memoir: Fair Trade, Dung Trade, and Travels in Thailand and beyondâ€ about how she unexpectedly moved to south-east Asia for ten years.â€œEpic yet playful, with a tart intellectualismâ€, Dr Andreas Weiss, Vienna Technical Universityâ€œA refreshing new voiceâ€, Woodstock Books, Oxfordâ€œFor real travellers rather than tourists.â€ Mary Smith, journalist, and author of No More Mulberries, Drunk Chickens and Burnt Macaroni)
