This database was created to be a supplementary aid to your genealogical research. The indexed records may not always contain all the important information on the marriage document. My aim is to index the records with enough information so that you can find your family, and be certain it is your family. Then with that information, (i.e. town and county, page number and religion) you will be able to easily find and retrieve a hard copy of the marriage record. To find the necessary LDS microfilm number for your marriage record, please visit János Bogárdi's 1877 Hungarian Gazetteer. The birth place listed in these indexed records may not always be the birth place. It could be either the birth place or the place of origin, if outside that town's church. Some church's hosted several towns in an area and would simply state which town the individuals were from, but not necessarily that they were born there. If there is no entry for this category it means the person was from that town, whether it is that they were born there or simply resided there. If someone was born outside the town the parish records would usually state the town, but that's not necessarily always the case. There
are two words you might come across in this database. The first
is nemes (which means noble) and ozv., short for özvegye (which
means widow/widower). The occupations for the groom and bride are
not indexed. In some cases there are two family names (surnames) listed for an individual. In this case, the additional name will be listed in it's own column immediately after the groom or bride's surname and given name. During personal research, I have determind these additional names to either help differentiate a specific family from another in a town, or be that of the father's surname for an illegitimate child. These of course are not the only reasons for the use of additional names, but the ones I have come across in my personal research. |
