Gyongyos Article
This week I decided to update the wikipedia article for Gyongyos. I added to the section that describes the name of the town and what it means. This is what I wrote: "The 16-17th century historian Miklos Istvanffy wrote that the name of the town comes from the Hungarian word for mistletoe (literally "wood-pearl"), which is abundant in the local woods." I found this information in a book that I have about the town.
