Marc,
As I recall from my language and cultural lessons in 95, Hungarian's closest relatives were found in central Siberia - fine folks know as Ostyak and Vogul (who ?).

That's pretty close to the Ukraine

Sumarian mythology has it that one was sitting along the Euphrates with herds of sheep and goats, and pondered over the Estonian women in mid-summer.....seriously !

If you come over and see the women, the migration from Siberia to Tallinn will no longer perplex you
