Hungarian indexing - why no projects?

Why aren't there any Hungarian indexing projects available at the moment, does anyone know?

There still aren't any??

I assumed it was because they were too busy with the 1950 census, but that's been going for nearly two months now, surely they have someone to spare to put up the next batch of civil registrations?

As a stopgap, set the language to Slovak. A lot of those are actually Hungarian, or Latin recordings of the mix of Hungarian, Slavic, and German names that are familiar from the civil registers. If you get a German or Slovak or Cyrillic page, just return the batch and get another one. (The annoying bit is having to use Slovak for the months and sexes. Luckily, unlike Czech, Slovak uses "normal" month names.)

Great tip. Thanks Julia.
