FamilySearch Find Of The Day: The Marriage Of My Cousin, Baron László Solymosy de Loós és Egervár


With the update of the FamilySearch database "Hungary Civil Registration, 1895-1980", I tried searching to figure out what exactly was new to the database. I believe it's the addition of Somogy county. I was actually able to find a marriage record for a cousin of mine, Baron László Solymosy de Loós és Egervár. I'm related to the Baron through his direct-maternal line great-grandmother, Baroness Angelika Izdenczy de Monostor és Komlós. My own 8th-great-grandfather was Márton Izdenczy de Komlós,
a relative of the Baronial Izdenczy de Monostor és Komlós
family. Here is an extract of his marriage record:
