Introduction

Who am I ?

My name is Wim van Gennip,I was born 70 years ago in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) I have lived there ever since.

I start collecting stamps when I'm 12 years old; first everything what I can find, but now that's reduced to 1 country: Hungary.

By Hungary my special interest go to the postmarks of the former Hungarian territories who going to Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Yugoslavia, Croatia and Slovenia.

On the next pages I will tell and show you something about my collection.
