Having reviewed many of the films >from the 1848 and other 18th and 19th =
century census records I know that they are =E2=80=9Cincomplete=E2=80=9D. = My own family is =E2=80=9Cmissing=E2=80=9D >from records in Ung and = Maramaros megye. The fact that a household is not listed may mean that they were missed = or that that the head was away. Although most of the 1848 Census was = completed in 1848, some of the records were created in 1849. An = individual may be enumerated in more than one location. Each county was = supposed to collect the same data but the format differs >from one place = to another because the government did not provide forms. In some cases = the recorder created his own hand-drawn form. Because the census was = conducted over a period of more than one year, it is also very possible = that there are additional pages that were created at a different time = and have not yet been located. Vivian Kahn, Oakland, California A posting on Oct. 1 contained images of Jewish census >from =hernadczentandras. I did not see my g'g'grandfather listed, though we = believe he was born there in 1847, Samuel Goldman, son of Moshe Goldman. = Siblings Was this an incomplete census of Jewish families? Any other ideas why =his family would not have been listed? Diane JacobsJewisghgen, but are available through the Hungarian National Archives = and the Archives in Kosice, Slovakia. I would like to share copies of = images of the records >from this Census for the village of = Hernadszentandras (Szent Andras) in this county for those who are = interested. Surnames of Jews living in the village at the time were: = Cisserman, Fischer, Frumer, Gotfried, Hips, Josef, Los, Medve, = Rozenberg, Samuel, Stern, Swarcz, Vasserman, and Veis. =20 =20existence of microfilms of the 1848 Census for Abauj-Torna County in the = Hungarian National Archives through an email to the Hungary SIG sometime = ago, and thanks to professional genealogist Andras Koltai who not only = located the specific records in the microfilms in the Hungarian Archives = but also went the extra mile by obtaining copies of a missing page >from = the Kosice Archives which he determined had the originals. =20=20
