== "Hungary" Disambiguation == | |||
Hungary may refer to: | |||
*The present-day country of Hungary. | |||
*The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Hungary_%281538%E2%80%931867%29 Kingdom of Hungary (1526–1867)] | |||
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary Austria-Hungary (1867-1918)] | |||
United States census records and arriving passenger lists often simply list the place of birth or origin as "Hungary" or "Austria" meaning the Kingdom of Hungary or Austria-Hungary. Careful research is needed to pinpoint the province and city/town. | |||

Jewish Research resources on the FamilySearch Wiki are organized primarily by the present-day country, and not by the former designations. If possible, determine the city/town of origin and then search under its present-day country. | |||

'''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.
