'''Research use:''' These records link families together and greatly supplement the research process. They establish family groups and relationships; ages, birth dates, and birth places which lead to primary vital records sources, valuable for pedigree links. Hungarian censuses may not be as helpful as censuses from other countries because better sources, such as church records and civil registration, are available for Hungary. Use census information carefully since accurate information may not have been given to or understood by the census taker. | '''Research use:''' These records link families together and greatly supplement the research process.

Many early census records have been only partially preserved. Large parts of the 1784 census were destroyed. Census records are now kept under good storage conditions, but are subject to catastrophes. Records are considered confidential, particularly those less than 50 years old. Some sources indicate that the census returns for 1880 and later are statistical only and did not provide names. | Many early census records have been only partially preserved.
