Research in Old Hungary

Today when we research our Hungarian Ancestors we have to think about the history of the Country. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved in 1918 and divided into separate countries related partly to their ethnicity. After World War II, Countries and borders changed yet again.

Did you have ancestors from the area that was once Hungary but now is not in present-day Hungary?
