 Ungarn: Volkszählung aller Bürger, 1869

Die Volkszählung von 1869 ist eine Zählung des "Volks", die versucht, alle Personen aller Religionen, ganz von ihrem Eigentum abgesehen, aufzuführen. Die Volkszählung wurde von der ungarischen Regierung erstellt. Die Reichweite der Volkszählung macht sie besonders wertvoll für genealogische Forschung. Die Volkszählung wurde hauptsächlich in der Sprache Magyar (Ungarisch) gemacht, obwohl Volkszählungsaufzeichnungen von einigen Gebieten auch in anderen Sprachen wie Slowakisch geschrieben sein könnten.

The 1869 Census is a “people” census, attempting to enumerate all individuals of all religions, regardless of property ownership. The Census was created by the Hungarian Government. The broad scope of the census makes it particularly valuable for genealogical research. The census was mainly recorded in the Magyar (Hungarian) language, though census records from many areas may also include other languages such as Slovak. This database includes only extracted Jewish entries.
