=== Introduction === | |||
Jewish Records refer to records about Jews (non-vital) and records of Jewish births, marriages, deaths, and conscription books (vital). Non-vital Jewish records were created as Jewish communities kept account books, bought property, or had dealings with rulers and local governments. Jews in Hungary generally did not keep vital records unless required to do so by law. Beginning in 1788 Jews were required to keep records of births, marriages and deaths in German under Catholic supervision. Because these records were required for conscription and taxation purposes, Jews often evaded registration. The law was reemphasized several times during the early 1800s. Most Jewish communities did not actually start keeping records until the practice was again codified into law in 1840. In 1885 the Hungarian Royal Ministry of Cults required that Jewish vital births, marriages, and deaths be recorded in vital registers which included several congregations in a subdistrict rather than in registers of each individual congregation. Exceptions were allowed when individual congregations paid to have their own registrar. With the beginning of civil registration in 1895 Jewish registers ceased to be official state documents. | Jewish Records refer to records about Jews (non-vital) and records of Jewish births, marriages, deaths, and conscription books (vital).

'''Accessibility:''' Jewish vital records are accessible for research by correspondence or researchers can get permission to research the records in person at the archives. Research by correspondence is often quite slow and costly. Other types of Jewish records are very difficult to access, even by on-site research. | '''Accessibility:''' Jewish vital records are accessible for research by correspondence or researchers can get permission to research the records in person at the archives.

=== | === 1828 Hungarian Census === | ||
Several censuses were taken in Hungary in the 18th and 19th centuries. Some enumerations dealt specifically with Jews (1725-1775, 1848). The Hungarian census of 1828 is of considerable interest and importance, although it supplies limited family information. The census covered all of the old Hungary. Under each town or village, it lists all heads of families or occupiers of land. | |||
The 1828 Hungarian Census can be found on the Catalog: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/231564 Vagyonösszeírás, 1828]. | |||
