1867 COMPROMISE MILITARY RECORDS - WHEN AUSTRIA RULED HUNGARY : PRO HUNGARIAN GENEALOGY TIPS # 3 USING THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF HUNGARY

We are not totally dependent on FamilySearch (or any other database in the United States of America) to find the records that are originally sourced from Hungary.  We have the use of HUNGARICANA which is the database that originates in the country of Hungary and is a function of the National Archives in that country. The archives hold military records that go beyond what we've just looked at in the FamilySearch catalog.

HUNGARICANA cultural portal   You will see a number of database categories on this start page.

I put the words "military 1876" into the search and up came a number of readable books that are in English...  I know that the language presents difficulties for those who are not native in it... I know that personally, so I don't want those of you who never had or lost the language to be totally deterred from doing Hungarian research... search using English words and see what comes up!

Few genealogy projects are entirely dependent on military records. So, if you do not find the men in your family who most likely did have to serve that two years on these records, don't feel too bad. I personally am chasing down a person because of note on a marriage record that he was in the reserves and the man was born in 1850.
