Zakarpattia (Mukachevo/Uzhorod) records project

[kika3_au]

If anyone is interested or has had difficulties in tracing rel;atives from the Munkacs/Ungvar (Mukachevo/Uzhorod, Zakarpattia region, Ukraine) area and would like to pool their knowledge please contact me at kika3_au@yahoo.com.au

The Greek catholic records available in LDS-FHL are written in Cyrillic and do not contain place names. They do list if the records are births, deaths marriages and the time periods. There are 1036 films in the parish registers alone-too many for any single person to look at. As a first step I have translated the film titles into English. For these records to be of use we need to know what localities they refer to.

I am now looking for interested persons who are willing to order 2 films from FHL in the time period most relevant to your family search and transcribe a) the names of the towns and villages in each film and b)whether the script is in Hungarian, cyrillic or other. And of course look for your family.

If you do not have greek catholic family but would like to assist, there are also census records, religious conversion data and military muster lists that might contain information relevant to you.

To express interest, please email me at kika3_au@yahoo.com.au . If you wish, you may provide up to 3 family names, 3 village names (Hungarian and current Ukrainian if possible) and time periods of interest.
Any information we collect will be released to those who contribute data on the films. If there are enough contributors we should be able to generate sufficient locality information to allow us to target our searches more efficiently.
