Hungarian names of Zakarpattya villages.

Hello, friends! When someone decides to clear up location of his/her ancestral village, the very first problem is how to translate Hungarian names to modern Ukrainian. Hungarian name by itself says nothing about location, it can be in Transcarpathia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania. However if we know modern name, location is established in a moment.

Below I publish list of Zakarpattya villages by county. Hungarian name is in bold and its modern Ukrainian analogue is on the right. Rusin names can be different but we mean now official map version. Hungarian names often have old-Hungarian spelling so there may be few versions of name. Sometimes Hungarian spelling of an old Slav name adjoins more authentic Hungarian name. I point mostly official and most used ones.

Origin of publication is state archive list of Hungarian and old-Hungarian names for Zakarpatska oblast. This information is not copyrighted but if you want to republish it please put the link to my website.

If you've found your village in our list, its vital records are kept in Uzhgorod archives. On this board you will find some suggestions for successful genealogical research.

If your case is unclear or you have additional questions please post them right here. As usually some demographical and historical data is available for every village so I will try to answer.

Hi Maxim,

I found my village of interest on your list above (Lyuta/Havasköz), so I believe this indicates that there are records for this village in the Uzhgorod Archives. What types of records are typically available? Are they church records, census records, or something else? Is it possible to access these records, either online or by hiring a researcher in Ukraine? I'd appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks!

Hello Christine, absolutely! Demographic information of past for Lyuta is now held in Uzhgorod.

Lyuta is first mentioned in historic records in 1599 as property of Druget aristocratic family. “Lyuta” literally means “severe”. Name reminds about severe winter frosts which were usual for that area.

At dawn of 20th century it was well populated village with apprx 1900 of inhabitants. It was settled mostly by Rusyns, other communities were Germans, Hungarians and Jews. There was Greek-Catholic church, Catholics and Jews attended nearby churches in Nagy Berezna.

Other sources state about even bigger population, 2807 of inhabitants in 1900 and 2936 in 1910. Among them Rusyns – 2771, Jews – 116, Germans – 109, Hungarians – 56.

For sure, for Lyuta we have Hungarian notarial metrics starting from 1895. I have to specify question about available GC church records, on Monday I will send you email with definite years and books available.

Ancestry didn’t film this region that’s why only option is to hire an experienced researcher. If asked who’s the best choice I’d decently answered it’s probably me.

I just came across your this site. Fantastic! Can you tell me what records would be available for the villages of

I am interested in several families named Berger, and Schwartz or Svartz and Weiss.
Also please advise of your fees

I forgot to mention that the time period I am interested in is from 1810 to 1900

Hi Herbert, fortunately we have cleared up availability of vital records in our email correspondence, so my reply is mostly for readers.

Palágykomorócz / Palad-Komarivtsi is small but very old village, first mentioned in written sources in 1409, although first settlers appeared here yet in 7th century AC. Historians think village was established in 12-13th centuries.

At the dawn of 20th century, its population was apprx 300 of inhabitants, mostly Hungarians.

Today its population should be around of thousand of inhabitants.

Szelmencz / Selmentsi was actually one village till 1946 when Ukraine - Czechoslovakian border run right through its central street and divided it into two villages - Veľké Slemence and Mali Selmentsi / Kisszelmencz. Village was established in 13th century. Population of smaller part, Kisszelmencz was apprx 200 of inhabitants at the beginning of 20th century, it didn’t change much nowadays.

I'm trying to locate information for Gregory Kucsak born in Zarichovo Zarichevo Zaricso Ukraine (Old Drugethasa, Hungary) around 1880-1882. He had a brother Andras born there also in 1871. I'm trying to find parent's names, thought to be Charles and Mary. Are there any census records that might verify any of the above information?

Hi Donna, information about records and my suggestions already sent to your email, as well as specifying questions.

Some interesting facts about Zarichevo / Zaricso / Drugetháza. One source notes year of establishment as 1409, another source refers to 1551 Latin records about "arrival of Zarich to Ung". Name of village means "over the river" or "village over the river Uzh". Zarichevo belonged to aristocratic family of Drugets, actually Drugetháza means "house of Drugets".

In 1828 there were 1243 Greek-Catholics and 17 Jews, in 1891 population enlarged to 1502 of inhabitants, mostly Rusyns, Hungarians and Jews. Greek-Catholics had own church in Zarichevo, Roman catholics attended Nagy Berezna, Jews attended synagogue in Perecseny.

In 1893 railway line Ungvar-Nagy Berezna run through Zarichevo and it had positive impact on economical conditions. Census of 1981 shows 2253 of inhabitants, in 2001 their number enlarged to 2283.

This panorama photo made near Zarichevo gives idea about wild nature around.

My Grandmother Maria Hudan was born in Salank, Hungary, now Salank, Ukraine. Any information on the name Hudan in that area. She was born around 1896. she came to the US in 1912. She married Stefan Laszlo in 1914. They bacame Steve and Mary Lasslo in the US. Stefan Laszlo was born in Szeged, Hungary which is now Szeged, Slovakia. Any information on birth ecords etc., would be greatly appreciated. Richard Woods

Hi Richard, prior information and specifying questions are sent to your email.

Salank now is predominantly Hungarian village, with population of ~3100 of inhabitants. First it was mentioned in written sources in 1332. People of Salank took active participation in Hungarian war of 1703-1711 against Habsburgs. Exactly in Salank in 1711, in building of Reformat church, Ferenc Rákóczi conducted last meeting of Kuruc leaders.

Some good Salank photos from Panoramio

In 2011, they've made reconstruction of last Kuruc meeting, it was big event in Salank. Actor with mace plays Ferenc Rákóczi. Photo is attached.

Hi. I have been trying to find information about my husband's Vass family from Tiszaujlak/Vylok. We have his 2x great grandparents names, Mihaly Vass born 1829 in Tiszaujlak was a master carpenter and Veronika Buzath born 1839 in Visk, Maramaros. We know my husband's grandpa Sandor's brothers and parents names but don't know what happened to any of the brothers. Only Sandor came to the US. The family was wealthy and married into high nobility (great grandma was Iren Szentmiklosi es Ovari Pongracz and her mother was a Boszormenyi from Pettyen) The Buzaths owned pharmacies in several towns. They were Roman Catholic and I was told the church in Tiszaujlak was destroyed but were there copies of the records saved? Do you think any records would be available? I found someone to copy the church records for Visk for me but everyone says I will never find anything for Vass from Tiszaujlak. What do you think?
Thanks. Terie

Hi Terie, I've spent some time trying to clarify situation around RC church in Tiszaujlak/Vylok.

Roman-Catholic temple in Vylok was first mentioned in written sources in 1332. Unfortunately, original building was destroyed by Tatars and Turks. New temple was built in 1877, styled baroque and devoted to St. Helen. Later, in 19th century, they have completed building with four-level tower. Pipe organ was made in 1896 by Rieger brothers.

There is information that keeping of the vital records have begun in 1735. However, it seems skeptics are right, there is nothing for Roman-Catholics of Vylok in archive. The closest parish available is Nagyszollos but I don't think they recorded Tiszaujlak there.

Situation with Visk is better but years mentioned are unavailable.

I am trying to find information regarding my great-grandfather, Joseph Roman, born in March 1880. His parents were Matyas Roman and Anna Danko. Joseph also had a brother, Peter, and Peter had a son, Pavo (or Pavel) born in the 1910's. I believe the entire family was born and lived in Huta, which is now part of Uzhgorod.

If you are able to find anything, even to just confirm that this likely the village my great-grandfather emigrated from, I would be so greatful!

Thank you so much!

My great-great-grandfather immigrated from Hungary to the US in the early 1900's. All the census and other records I found so far say that he was born in Máramaros and he and his family member's last residence before departure was Jholcz, Hungary. I've been searching and searching for weeks for any info about Jholcz, Hungary or any name that looks similar to it and I can't anything and I have no idea what it's called now or if it's even in the Ukrain or Romanian part of Máramaros. Would you happen to know what it's called now and where it's located? And if so and if possible, could I find any birth, marriage records, etc. from there, especially from the year 1885 and earlier?

KEM, first of all, it's important how you got the transliteration of city, Jholcz. Well, frankly, it doesn't sound Hungarian at all. It's hard to say anything without seeing original documents. Again, many city names were distorted and this is definitely the case. Jholcz is not authentic name, it's distortion.

Accordingly, I've checked all gazetteers I have but I don't see anything similar in Maramaros.

First off, thank you for checking your gazetteers for me. Well, I got the transliteration from the passenger records on the Ellis Island website searching for the ship that he immigrated here on. All of his other documents (census, draft cards, naturalization form, etc.) that I found only say that he was born in Máramaros and that his parents were born in Hungary and nothing more. Naturally some of them say Czechoslovakia as well since some of them were filled out between 1920 and the 1940's. The passenger records were the only documents I found that gave the name of any city or village that he was possibly living in. I myself didn't think it sounded Hungarian either and figured the name was changed somehow. I don't know if he changed it or if the person who issued the tickets changed it or if there was a mistake when reading the the passenger list because the handwriting is kind of difficult to understand. But it also said (the printed version anyway) that his nationality was Hungary/Lithuanian, so I'm really confused. No other records I found say that he had Lithuanian nationality, only Hungarian and I even searched for names of cities in Lithuania as well and still couldn't find anything remotely similar to it. I always heard that he had a lot of family members who stayed back home, but I know nothing about them and I don't know how to find out any information about them since I don't even know exactly where he and they lived and I don't even know where to start searching.

Aha! I'm grateful to my friend's hint. I think you mean Irholtcz, modern Vilhivtsi in Tyachiv region.

Today its population is 3 400 or so, it's established on the road Tyachiv and Ust' Chorna, in 18 km from Tyachiv. River Teresva runs through easterm outskirt of the village. In the west, they have huge hill, a perfect point of observation.

Officially village is first mentioned in 1486, but probably exactly this village was mentioned in Hungarian sources in 1389 as Ilhoba.

KEM, please check your mail, I've sent my suggestions.

I am trying to locate the home of my Grandfather, who immigrated to the US in 1914 from Amastichio, Hungary. One of my cousins identified Imstychovo, Ukraine as a near-by location. Can you help me?/Users/patricia/Desktop/Scan 4.jpeg/Users/patricia/Desktop/Scan 5.jpeg/Users/patricia/Desktop/Scan 6.jpeg

I'm interested in learning about your services. Would I be able to obtain digital images of vital records of my family found in the archives?

Thank you.

Hi,
My family is trying to find information on relatives that lived in Hungary. I know my Grandmother was Elisabeth(ERszeket?) Licsko and lived in Sighet from 1902-1926. I think her father was Karol Licsko and he died trying to breal up a fight. Her mother Susana then married a Dely and I think they had a son named Janos or Joseph/ The other Licsko kids were Alexander, Julia, Maria, and Piroshka who became a nun. Where would I find possible online sources for information on them? My Grandfather Alexander or ?Sandor Goydan was born in the US to John Goydan(may have been spelled Goiden or Goidan in Hungary) and Julia Nogrady Goydan but was sent to live with his grandmother somtimes after 1893, My mother said the town is Kisharktine0I have no idea how it is spelled. Any idea what town that might be. He did a tailoring apprenticeship in Ungvar around 1905, Any online sources I might try to find the Nogrady's or Goydan/Goidan/Goiden family infromation. Many thanks for any hints you can give

Hi Mary, if you insist you want to find information online, there is only option, LDS films and site which provides them, FamilySearch.com. Records online or in films are available only from them, I have different specialization and area of my specialization is also different. In spite of your clear information on names, it should be always structured basing on location - and here you are, unfortunately, not clear. For example, your grandmother lived in Sighet but was she born there? Also, Kis Arktine doesn't sound familiar to me, at least, I don't think it is related to Transcarpathia.

It reminds Kis Apahida (today's Pagida in Romania) or Kis Apati, if we take away Kis (small), it sounds as Arka, Arkalie, Arkia, Arkita, Arkuta. These are old Hungarian names of real cities. Arkita=Erked=today's Archita in Romania. However, these are only suggestions, it would be good to check immigration documents, if any, to see original location.

Stumbled on to your information by accident. The information I have comes from my father's birth records in Cleveland. Erzsebet & Geza were his parents. She later married Gabor. I asked Cleveland Hungarian genealogists where to find NagyGejoz on a map but did not get an answer.
I believe that your information helps me put it on a map. I believe that I can place Gabor not too far away in Hungary but I guess not in Transcarpathia and I know that Gyor was a big city. I'm not sure if I have a specific question other than what else is possible to find out. But thank you for sharing information that only a small number of people in the world would ever be interested in.

Well this is very easy task. Nagy Geiocz is modern Velyki Geivtsi and I definitely know where to find it on map. I also know what you can find for your ancestors who were living there. Please check your mail.

Please tell me what information is available for Szőllős / Nagyszőllős = Vynogradiv. My grand mother was born there in 1889. Her father and his 3 children left for America in 1906 after his wife died.

Hello,
I am trying to locate a village named Ittvarnak where my great grandfather was born. My understanding is it it somewhere in Hungary. I came across a map of Hungary dated 1897, the year he was born, but did not find any villages by that name. My great grandfathers name is Frank Gyolai.

Hi Dennis, it's an easy question, Torzsudvarnok/Ittvarnak is Banater Hof in German or Banatsky Dvor in Serbian. This is small village in Serbia, this way, it has not relation to Hungary and Transcarpathia.
