Hello, I had some letters that I was trying to translate and someone directed me to look at Sütterlin handwriting. This has helped me tremendously in looking at the Hungarian records, as some of the letters are difficult to recognize to someone used to modern cursive writing. I've also found that Google translate works well.
One of the things that helped with the letters was also realizing that although it was written in phonetic German, they were using Hungarian writing conventions as they had never learned to write in German.
