Hungarian Village Finder

This online gazetteer is available for access in the Salt Lake City Family History Library. Sometimes a small town has changed its name, as the districts and counties within the Austro-Hungarian Empire have been modified by a variety of wars and political shifts.

This gazetteer is useful because family stories sometimes give a couple of hints about the town in Hungary where a certain ancester might have come from.

a.) In that we don't speak Hungarian, we sometimes do not know which words from the "family stories" are important.  A town might be designated "Upper ...."  or  "Little ...." and we might discard some data b ecause the place name does not contain those Hungarian words prior to the main word.

b.) Secondly, this index will list all of the districts which have "Acs," for example.  (There is more than one county with the same name. Think about cities in America named "Rochester" and "Utica." Did you know that both New York state and Michigan state have these cities?)
