Coverage Table
This collection is a partial index of records for the localities listed below as of April 2010. The table below shows the number of records by locality. Localities not listed may not have any records in this collection.

Most of these records date from the time period indicated in the columns below; however, there may be records before and after these dates.

How Do I Search This Collection?
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
 * Your ancestor’s given name and surname
 * Identifying information such as residence
 * Estimated birth year

How Do I Analyze the Results?
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a research log.

I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?

 * Use the birth or baptism date to estimate a marriage age and look for marriage records
 * Collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you identify possible relatives that can be verified by records
 * Search for records using the parents names
 * Use the locality of baptism to search for other records

I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now?

 * Consult the Hungary Record Finder to find other records
 * If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby town or county
 * Try different spellings of your ancestor’s name
 * In baptism records, if a surname is not listed for the child, the indexer often assigns the father’s surname to the child. This surname may not be correct. So if you are looking for a birth or christening, search by the given name of the child, adding parents' names and as much locality information as is permitted
