January 8, 1908 the passage of the Prohibition Act in Georgia spelled the the winemaking doom for the little town of Budapest.  The residents scattered to other parts of the US, back to  Pennsylvania, perhaps back into the mines, some to St. Louis and Cincinnati; but some remained and are buried in the little Budapest Cemetery.  Some moved to Atlanta and died there.

One particular family was the Frey family, ancestors of John Frey of California, who is one of the Village Coordinators for the village of Blumenthal, Banat.  August, 2008, he and his wife Mary visited Georgia for a glimpse into the past in the Budapest Community where his ancestors lived.  We had a great time in Tallapoosa and Budapest and the trip proved to be worthwhile.  I invite you to read John's "A JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF MY FAMILY" - it certainly should be encouraging to all researchers, one many can identify with also.
