Don't know, Elaine, how much time you want to spend on these Hungarians there, but if you can make copies of the pages with their records and also record the relevant page # and entry # for their entry in the books, I can send the copies along to the Austrian Military archives to see if they can find additional information about them. Also, if you just check marriage records for the previous 10-20 years, you can determine how many fell in love with the local gals! :-) There might be additional information about them there as well.
