Database

The 1828 Hungarian Property Tax Census is a census of individuals owning taxable property and covered the entire country. Jews were specifically identified in the Census, making it easy to extract their names and include them in a database.

We greatly appreciate the efforts of all those volunteers who have worked diligently on the project since May 2002 to create this valuable database.   As of December 2003, there were over 22,000 names in the database.

As with any project of this type, we lose volunteers through attrition and are in constant need of new recruits. If you are willing and able to read microfilms at a local LDS Family History Library and transcribe names, please contact the project coordinator, Eric M. Bloch, bloch@wi.rr.com. You do NOT need to know Hungarian in order to read these names. PLEASE VOLUNTEER! We need your help. For more information about the 1828 Hungarian Property Tax Census, please visit the All-Hungary Database on JewishGen at:  http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Hungary/.
