Hi Heidi,

I’m in the middle of gearing up for my Simplified Naturalization interview. My family is also jewish, so there aren’t baptism records. What I have found is the references to births in the Anyakönyvek. Kind of like the equivalent to the baptismal record. I’ve had luck finding images of those through FamilySearch.org. I’d also recommend joining the Facebook group “Immigration Journey in Hungary”. There are a lot of people in there with a ton of resources who are in the process of/completed Simplified Naturalization and Verification by Descent (which sounds like what you’re doing). If you need someone to acquire those certified documents for you in Hungary, there are several vetted people in that group that can obtain those records if you hire them. Hope that’s helpful!

Sziastok! My name is Sarah, I live in Austin and Savannah, and this is my first Hungarian Heritage Expo! I’m currently right in the middle of my simplified naturalization journey. My great grandparents were Hungarian (coming from Hercegkút/Traunczonfalva, Pest, and Munkács). I’m excited to be here and to soak up all of the information I can.
