hazelnuts/filberts

> >Can anyone report the use of "filbert" outside of Oregon?

My father, who is a big fan of them, has always called them filberts.
(And that's what I learned to call them.) He's from Attica, NY.  It
seemed to me that 'hazelnut' got popularized among people I know only
after you started seeing coffees and chocolates flavored with them.  We
just had them whole when I was a kid (1970s).
