Missing years in a database (Kislónya/Nagylónya, Hungary)
I would like to ask you if it is possible to make the civil birth register available between 1895-1898 for the following municipalities:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/4123286?availability=Family%20History%20Library
It is not clear for me why this 3 years are missing. Probably not for data protection reasons because the 1899-1902 records avaliable.
It would be very important for me to have a birth register here. I am looking for my grandmother's parents.
Many thanks,
Szabolcs Szigeti

The Nagylónya-Kislónya civil registrations are rather scrambled. (Starting with, why in the name of all that's holy are the catalog Note entries in Cyrillic?) For example, film 7022577 image 227 is a birth record from October 1902, while image 228 is a birth record from February 1901. So it may be worth someone's while to go through all seven films image by image to see what's actually on them. The missing time period may actually be there, somewhere.

It seems to have been uploaded from a Ukrainian source, not a Hungarian one (that's why the cyrill letters). As far as I know, the Registers of Bereg county were requisitioned by the Soviet Army in 1944-45, which is how the Hungarian registers (the second copies) got to the Uzhhorod Archives.
In any case, this does not explain the missing years and that the pre-1898 records could be uploaded if they were digitised.
And the last four films are actually two, just doubled. Maybe there's a mistake, someone has uploaded the missing years again instead of the previous ones.
