Hungary - Takacs and Gal/Gaal

Hungary - Takacs and Gal/Gaal

Surnames: Takacs Gal Gaal
Hi All,
i have been trying to research my dads side of the family and not having any luck.
I live in australia and am after infomation from Hungary.

Both my grandparents are born in budapest, Hungary.
My grandfather, Ivan (janos) Takacs and grandmother Ilona Takacs (nee gal/gaal).
i only have names of their parents and a couple siblings.
We recently discovered my grandmas maiden name Gal/Gaal has both spellings on different formal documents and we are confused again lol i know alot have passed away in hungary and some young.
I also know there is a relative is in canada.

does anyone know how i can gather infomation such as birth/death/marriage certificates from hungary?
ive looked at so many external sites and am confused. i cant read hungarian (google translate is helpful but a tedious task of copy & paste!) and only know little spoken language.

or is there a census from hungary that is able to be accessed online - even if i have to pay a fee?

i am not looking at spending a huge amount of money to find this out (not a historian over in hungary who charges and cant confirm will get me any info!) but will pay for copies of certificated etc.

im sure my tree is available to be viewed so please if you think you are related have a look.

Thanks in advance
Lauren Takacs

Nothing complicated to reading the church records. It is the priest's handwriting that might give you a sleepless night trying to figure out is it or is it not.

You might want to post on Hungary's Ancestry board, if you have not already.

I take it you have a document that says your grandparents were born in BUDAPEST?

Thank you for replying!
I have a copy of my grandmas birth certificate, which she was born in pestszenterzsebet, but would love my great grandparents.
My grandpa, according to his passport, was born in Slatina, Croatia. i think back in 1920 it was maybe apart of Hungary, im still checking things out. but its a very small town over the border.
also would love theirs. and we were told they were born in hungary but who knows!

Its just so hard as we dont even then have great great grandparents names, my grandma cant remember them.
but i will check out the links youve noted there, i have only been to one and it was useless for me.
But thank you so much!

My great grandmother was Maria Kolesar and her mom was Anna Gal. Could we be related?
I have found the site www.familysearch.org very helpful in Hungarian research.
