hi, I don't know if this was answered earlier, but from personal experience, a few years ago I was in Gyor("County/Megye capital) and went to the Leve'lta'r/Leveltar/County Archives office to inquire about my grandfather's birth record. The manager there (English speaking) assisted me by finding the large folder for the years 1882-1885 and sorted through it where my grandfather's original birth record/birth certificate was found (sorted alphabetically) and verified the exact village where he was born (he had used Gyor at Ellis Island) the date, his parents' names, their address within the village, his religion, date of baptism and his godparents' names. Much more than I expected. From this information I was able to order the EXACT microfilm from the LDS and traced his family back 150 years. I learned two things... one, that the civil record archives included much of the same info that the church records contained, PLUS the information AFTER 1895. The other, was he told me copies of the same information was available in Budapest. I really don't know where, but next time in Budapest I will try to find the Archives/Leveltar/and one more Hungarian name which I have since forgotten...all the same place. I assume that similar records are available in the capitol of each Megye AND in Budapest. I think that a mail inquiry might be directed to the proper address with diligent search on Google, etc. Jim Don't know ----- Original Message ----- From: "J&P Nemeth" <alvadore@epud.net> To: <HUNGARY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [HUNGARY-L] RE: Hungary civil records after 1895 > This has been useful information for me as well.
