Gordon, I know how to address a letter to Hungary, but what Hungarian name would you use for town hall, and do all of the villiages have a town hall or is it like the old records, smaller villages were recorded in a different village?

The records from 1895 can be obtained by writing to the town hall in the community you are researching. Incidentally, in some areas some of the communities have permitted microfilming of records after 1895. That applies in the various districts of Budapest and in Slovakia for example.

However, the parish records only go up to 1895. I understand that births and marriages were entered in civil records after 1895. Does anyone know how to access Hungary civil records? Bill Hada

This has been useful information for me as well. Could you tell me what information one could expect to glean from a civil registration?
