Urbarium of 1767
Description:
A decree issued by Maria Theresa in 1767 was intended to assess and uniformly regulate serfs' levies. The situation of the peasantry was assessed by means of a nine-point questionnaire. The tables of the landlords, the names of the landlords, the serfs and the serfs, the size of their plots, etc. The application contains the complete archives, all the surviving documents. This represents some 300,000 pages for 43 counties. The database for the records was created by Zoltán Fónagy and contains the names of the villages by county, including the names of the landowners, the size of their land, the number of their serfs and serfs.

Hungarian Property Tax 1828 Land Census
Published at DVHH.org by Jody McKim, 2003.

The 1828 Hungarian Property Tax Census (the “Census”), in Hungarian known as Vagyonösszeirás - 1828, is a census of individuals owning taxable property. The Census listed the individuals and their taxable holdings. Entries were handwritten in the Latin language and column headings on the Census forms were pre-printed in Latin. The entire country of Hungary was included.

Records are arranged by counties, and within the counties by localities in alphabetical order. County and town names are the Hungarian names in use in 1828. A sample of the name entries appears at the right -- click the image for a larger view.

The Census was created by the Hungarian Government and the original records reside in the National Archives of Hungary. The entire Census has been microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and comprises 319 microfilms. These microfilms are listed in the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC) of the LDS. They may be found as Place (Hungary); Topic (Hungary-Census); Title (Vagyonösszeirás, 1828)

Note: Temesch, Torontal & Karasch counties made up the (undivided) Banat. After 1920 (Trianon) they were split, with possible little adjustments that can only seen by examining the maps in detail.
