I wish to know if Roman Catholic Dioceses in Hungary have websites and email contact. I understand I can request vital records through the Hungarian Consul in NY (and have done so previously) and that I can search via the LDS microfilms. However I may have a contact in Hungary who could personally visit such offices and pay for documents in forints. Does anyone have emails for the diocese offices with jurisdiction over the following places: 1. Barsonyos 2.Kisberen 3.Tarkany 4. Tes? Do you think anyone at these offices would read English? What is the local forint cost for birth, marriage, and death records? Many thanks. Richard Spacer --------------------------------- Yahoo!

http://www.katolikus.hu/dioc_ang.html You may want to start with the above website. My experience has been that they ask you to use the FHC films. However; it will most likely be different if someone goes in person. The records in the Vezsprem Diocese are kept in the parish where the event took place. Hope this helps. Elizabeth V.

Hope this helps. Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net Hi Richard, the url is for the Catholic church in Hungary: http://www.katolikus.hu/dioc_mag.html As you can see it's all in Hungarian. You should be able to send it to your contact in Hungary to find the relevant dioceses for your places. Joe Equinunk, PA - USA jjarfas@ezaccess.net Elizabeth and Joseph, I tried the link which Elizabeth sent and it does not work and what Joseph sent was in Hungarian. I did a search on google and came up with the same url that Elizabeth sent and I tried to send that same url and it did not work. So if you do a google search on "roman catholic diocese in hungary" and you will come up with several thousand results. If you click on the second one which has the word DIOCESES in bold lettering and click on it you should be able to get the English version. Don't ask me why but this worked for me. Hope this helps, Laszlo (Les) Josa

You should be able to send it to your contact in Hungary to find the relevant dioceses for your places. Every diocese has an archive associated with it where copies of the parish books are located. They can not do research for you, and under normal circumstances won't issue certified copies of records for genealogical research. On the other hand the local town hall can issue (for civil records after October 1, 1895) for certain requests (mostly for direct relatives and descendants), and the Embassy of Hungary (or Consulates) can obtain certified copies of church records prior to 1895 (which were then the official civil records as well).
