I'm surprised that you haven't checked your phone book for a Family History
Library,
LDS. They are listed under Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints.
Ask them if they have a library, if not, ask where the nearest one is located.
These are all over! Even if it is an hour trip to one, don't hesitate. They
have Hungarian Church records on microfilm! You can order the record you need
after checking their catalog for about $3.50 to $3.75, for mailing cost. It
takes about 2 or 3 weeks and then they contact you that it is in and you get
about a month to look at the microfilm. If you need more time, the microfilm
can be renewed for a small fee. The volunteers will help you. Check for the
hours, some are open on Saturdays and some have evening hours as well. Don't
pass up a great opportunity to be able to view the old records yourself. It
is a major rush when you find them! You only need to learn a few words here
and there to get you by in Hungarian and Latin to be able to know what each
record is. Happy hunting.
