Has anyone gone through the simplified naturalization precedure? by Regwo
I understand that knowledge of the Hungarian language is a requirement, but how well must I know Hungarian? I can speak it just under an intermediate level.
I looked up "Felterony" in the 1907 Hungarian Gazeteer and couldn't find it. There is, though, a F茅ltorony, now known as Halbturn, the German equivalent of F茅ltorony I think. So if you're asking in Austria, I assume you ... Read More

I'm deeply confused whether the document you're looking for is in the Austrian or the Hungarian archives. If it's in the Austrian Archives, then no, the Hungarian consulate can't help you. However, my understanding is that if you do ... Read More

Hi. I am also on that FB group..it is wildly active! Do documents from Hungary need to be certified? I just submitted a signed letter from my grandfather's family's church with all the dates and names. I went to the village myself and ... Read More

Wait, the relevante page states this: Certificates can be requested only if the birth, marriage, divorce or death occurred in the present-day territory of Hungary. Please note that state and municipal registration has been in place since ... Read More

When I had to get official birth & marriage certificates dating to the late 19th century from Hungary I filled out some forms that were on the consulate's website and received them in a few months, specifically this birth certificate request ... Read More

Hello all! It's been a while since I last posted. I'm back with more questions. Does anyone have tips for getting documents from the Hungarian National Archives? I'm in a Facebook group for Hungarian Citizenship Journeys and I got an ... Read More

I gather what you're saying is that the marriage certificate recites, for example, that John Fitzgerald Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, while the birth certificate for your grandmother Caroline gives her father's name as John ... Read More

-- You must have an ancestor however far back who was at least for a time a Hungarian citizen. Normally, birth on Hungarian territory suffices. Since your GGGM was born in Moson when it was Hungarian territory she would normally have been a ... Read More

Hello All! I have been gone for a bit, but now I am back! I have been tracking documents, and trying to find a Hungarian tutor (no luck locally, I may try the resources listed here). A few questions, now that I have everything sorted out. The ... Read More

Ooh, new question guys! Upon review of the birth certificate that was attached to my ancestor (darn FamilySearch!) it appears like it might not *actually* belong to my relative and the indexed record on Family search is incorrect. The birth date on ... Read More

Thanks guys! Well, I guess now there are a couple new steps then. I'm really worried that my grandfather's birth certificate will hold me up--it is the one where my great grandmother indicated that her maiden name was that of her ... Read More

Thanks for the maps/info csheppa! Zif, I know the naturalization docs won't help in getting anything submitted/approved in the process. It does potentially help track where my ancestor's birth certificate and his parents marriage ... Read More

Hello all! I am just beginning to read this thread from both ends. I have questions I may later find the answers to but I thought I'd ask them here too: I'm just beginning the process. Do I need actual originals of birth certificates and ... Read More
