Genealogical
Gazetteer of the Kingdom of Hungary
compiled by Jordan
Auslander
Information about
more than 12,000 towns within the 19th century borders of the Kingdom
of Hungary that today comprise regions of Austria, Croatia, Hungary,
Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovak Republic and Ukraine. For each
community, information is provided for the population by religion. If
there was no local church or synagogue, the town where each
congregation worshiped is indicated. This is key to identifying the
Roman Catholic diocese, the church of record for the events of all
faiths prior to civil registration in the 1850s. It is also useful in
searching possible places of burial. Additional information about each
town includes alternate names and its current name if no longer in
Hungary. Towns can be searched alphabetically by their current name,
former name or alternate name(s)
The author spent more than five years compiling the information which
was based on the 1877 gazetteer, Magyarorszag
Helysegnevtara (Hungarian Gazetteer), by Janos Dvorzsak.
