Summary/Abstract: An online sketch-map leads to the “discovery” of a forgotten family fonds at the Hungarian National Archives, with interesting data (in Romanian included) on the local communities and the Romanian society during the 60s, 70s and 80s of the 19th century. The engineer Sándor Veress (1828-1884), great personality of both Hungarian emigration and Romanian elites, has left his cartographic and engineering works related to many places of the Old Romanian Kingdom, including large properties of major noble families. The whole family fonds and Sándor Veress sub-fonds are shortly presented in this paper, with the emphasis on the item containing Romanian documents related to his engineering work
