I found all the direct details - with siblings at each level - back to "unconnected" forebears, born about 1820s, from the JewishGen Births and marriages - based on the "Rabbis List", which I looked through also. This leaves the post 1895 details. I've used Hungarian Vital records, to find subsequent birth, marriage and death information - and also turn of the century criminal details - of course, not passed down in family lore. So I'm up to date with modern details - except the "disappearance" of a Hungarian soldier in 1916 - not on casualty lists yet "died in the WW1". (Was he shot - by his own side - or did he join up with a false name - see criminal above - or did he "shoot through"). Budapest records are relatively easy, but records from Ungvar are less. My wife's grandmother was born there in 1890. Some siblings are noted as born in the "SubCarpathian" online records but not her. I think this lady's father, a Dodeles, came from Brody - a DNA connection and records from Gesher Galicia. His wife was a Diamand - rather common name as you know. The rest of the Hungarian family appears to come from Muncacz - with very common - to there - surnames or from little towns on the edged of modern Slovakia, before moving to Budapest. In summary, the only records I've accessed are the Rabbi Lists - Neolog records, the later Hungarian Vital records but I don't know how to go beyond - further back - no precise details and common surnames - e.g. Krausz, Spitzer, Mermelstein. My own background is from Belarus. At least I can follow the Hungarian records - starting in German and then becoming Hungarian - my wife can assist with the latter. I'm always interested in finding more. Your blog is a great discovery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724422527238936404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-57214009298157467582021-08-10T15:22:59.162-04:002021-08-10T15:22:59.162-04:00Thank you!!

I found three prison records for my gg-uncles which all link to the document itself, and clicking on the document brings it up in a viewer where I can zoom in and read the whole thing at a great resolution, and even adjust the contrast and brightness. Awesome! Except there's apparently no obvious way to actually *download* the image of the full page; all I can do is view it in their proprietary viewer. <br /><br />Some messing around with the "inspect" function in Chrome turned up a folder that might contain the file I want (the URL is long and starts with https://static-cdn.hungaricana.hu/), but the best I was able to do using that method was to download some tiled, low-resolution images of the document. I'd ideally like a complete image of the page at a decent resolution so I can upload it to ViewMate for a translation. Am I missing something in the UI that would allow me to easily download the full page?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414587605661471745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-13973693261147531582021-07-12T07:11:14.606-04:002021-07-12T07:11:14.606-04:00They’re completely different.
