In the 1920s, most civil registry offices in places that were now in Czechoslovakia were still using the leftover Hungarian registry-books, just filling them out in Czech or Slovak. The informant's signature is often in Hungarian, though, as it is here: something-ovicz Lipót.

The headers of the post-1906 Hungarian civil death register are: number; date of entry; date and time of death; name, occupation, and residence of deceased; religion; age; spouse; parents; place of death if different from residence; cause of death; pre-signature remarks and signatures; addenda and corrections. The signatures (column 11) are informant on the left, registrar on the right.
