Birth certificate
Birth record of Jolie Gabor (1919 – 1995), Countess de Szigethy.

In Hungary, various birth records are essential for genealogical research, offering insights into family histories. The primary sources include civil registration documents, which began in 1895, and church records that predate civil registrations. Civil records provide official birth certificates, detailing names, dates, and parental information. Church records, particularly from Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed congregations, often contain baptisms and confirmations, offering additional context and familial links.

These records are vital for tracing lineage, verifying ancestry, and understanding migration patterns. Researchers often utilize archives and local registries, making Hungarian birth records a cornerstone for anyone delving into their family's past.
