1. There are some Ketubah books kept in the Jewish Community Alliance's office (Magyarorszagi Zsido Hitkozsegek Szovetsege) in Budapest (Address: VIIth district, Sip u. 12.), and some in the Jewish Museum's Archives (in the Dohany street synagogue). 2. Yes you can get those certificates, by going to the respective district's Registry Office. (You have to know, however, which district it was.) 3. You may find the answer in their original marriage record. (Or, you may scan it, if it is possible, and by sending it to me, I will try to decipher.) 4. It is relatively easy to search in the National Archives in Budapest, even as a foreign citizen. But it is quite at a distance >from the downtown, and the traffic is worst, than you can imagine. (The microfilm section, which you are in interested to visit.) Of course, you may take a cab there, but you must be able to call a cab by your own, if you are going alone. It would be better to hire a researcher to do a preliminary research, but this doesn't sound good >from me, who myself I am one of them.

From: <DRGOLDIN90@...> To: "H-SIG" <h-sig@...> Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 12:35 AM Subject: [h-sig] need advice for trip to Budapest Hi Allcommon ancestors. We will only be there for four days and we would like to make the most of it. Any general information is welcome but I have some specific questions. Are there Ketubah books in Budapest? Is there a way to find out what synagogue married them? On the top of the license it says "Budapest VIII". respectively. How can we get their birth certificates? "Szabotist". On the naturalization papers it is hard to read, but looks like it might be a variation on "Szabadsagkut". There are two different towns that might fit, according to Shtetlseekers. One is Szabotiszta and the other is Szabadsagkut. Any ideas on how we can find out for sure? We'd try to visit the town if we knew which one it was. Budapest? Is it worth it to have a private researcher or research firm do the preliminary legwork for us?
