Some Romanian cities in areas formerly under Hungarian rule maintained registers of their residents and those moved into these cities. These are called population registers (''actele poliţiei''). These records existed as early as 1848 and were discontinued with the beginning of Hungarian civil registration in 1895. Special lists of those in certain trades (such as domestic servants) were also kept. These records group families together and can be used to prove relationships. | Some Romanian cities in areas formerly under Hungarian rule maintained registers of their residents and those moved into these cities.
