I or cousin has attempted to translate the russian records literally to english, and know that there may be errors in the translation due to illegibility.� Also, there are frequent variations in the spelling of the names determined by the record keeper and spelling reformations that took place throughout the years.� There are some illegible names that we have taken a guess at and show our questionable names with the notation "(SP)" meaning possible spelling error.� For the names with the SP/sp notation, my cousin has looked at the microfilm record and given me her input. For the most part, I have left the first names untouched, except to remove the 'us' latin suffix for some names such as Stephan and Joseph but my cousin didn't.� The Hungarian names for the period 1844-1850 are not always easy to determine what the latin equivalent is, but for Janos it is Joannes (Jan or John), Istvan is Stephanus, Illes is Elias, Ilona is Helena, Katalin is Catharina, Nestze is Anastasia, Pal is Paul, Miklos is Nicolaus, Mihaly is Michael.
The baptism records in my link are a partial extraction of the available information in the original record. The info not copied is the city of origin (most are from Jakubany), the religion (most are greek catholic), the occupation of the father (not on all records and in latin), the names of the godparents and the priest's name.
If you want to have the opportunity to view the actual microfilmed records, you can go to your nearest LDS Family History Center (click on this link) and order any of these 3 films:� #1739210, 1739211 and 1739141.� The first contains baptism, marriage and death records for 1772-1836; the second has baptisms 1837-1886, marriages 1837-1918, and deaths 1836-1855; the 3rd has baptisms 1887-1895 and deaths 1856 - 1900.� The cost for ordering one film is around $6 and it will take 2-6 weeks to get it at the library--they will call you when it comes in and you will usually have a month to review the film.�You can renew it for additonal time periods with a renewal fee. In �looking at the microfilmed or computerized records, keep in mind that the surname spelling often changed once your ancestor migrated to the U.S. Immigration officials rewrote the name to how it sounded to them in english.
My cousins and I have several surnames in our family trees. Some of them are Dufala, Dornick, Bakoss, Kupcsa, Romanecz-Csoma, Gabstur, Kundlya, Ribovics, Orlovsky, Storkel, Katrenics, Machuga, Michna, Varga, Sassala, Skapura, Vasil, & Zavalidroga to name a few. If you have a surname that matches any of the above, I'd be glad to hear from you. If you can, please give me the name of an ancestor with the approximate date of birth before 1931 in Jakubany so I can see if that ancestor links to me somewhere. Jakubany is a small village and people got married within its confines usually. Who knows, you might be related to me or one of my other cousins.

If you want to record your family info on paper, let me suggest you print the Pedigree Chart form (recording your direct line lineage) and the Family Group Record (for a complete family) at this website: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/get_started/charts_forms.html (this site has several forms to keep track of info.
FYI--The 1772 baptism links exceed 13,000 lines. Since this is a free website, there is a data transfer limit of 3 GB per month (measured on an hourly basis of 4.2 MB) which is monitored by Geocities. When the hourly limit is exceeded, Geocities has/will temporarily shut off this website up to an hour and a message will be displayed.
