Hungary, Catholic Church Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Known Issues
Question #1: I am not getting consistent search results by using just a town name. Is there a work-around for this problem? Answer #1: First, keep in mind that this collection currently only has baptismal records, so you should search using the BIRTHPLACE and BIRTH DATE only. Check with the collection home page Description for any changes to the records content. Second, the work around requires using valid county names (those with + by them) or other major localities within the BIRTHPLACE field. A list is provided below:

Question #2: When looking at an ancestor, the location for the name I find is Nagyölved, Esztergom, Hungary and the record references film 1729968, but that film in the Catalog shows location Laskafalu, Baranya, Hungary, later Čeminac, Croatia. When the image is not available for me to look at how can I be able to able to determine the correct locality? Answer #2: Without viewing the record you would not be able to determine the correct location. The images may be viewed by ordering Film #1729988 to a Family History Center near your home. For instructions on how to order film, follow the link: Ordering Microfilm or Microfiche.

Question #3: The records in this collection are indexed as Baptism records; but I have also found death and marriage records included on the film which are indexed as Baptisms. Since I cannot view the film, how will I know which records are of which event type? Answer #3: Using the following table, you can determine the type of record by the image number on this film:

Question #4: According to the catalog, film # 688418 Items 1-6 contain Tószeg, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, Hungary records. When I use # 688418 as the search criteria in Hungary Catholic Church Records, 1636-1895, all the search results record details give the event place as Tömörkény, Csongrád, Hungary. Are there film # 688418 published records that should have the event place listed as Tószeg, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, Hungary? Answer: #4: Tószeg, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, Hungary is the correct record details event place of any indexed records with an image number between- 6 and 600.
