Missing Hungarian Civil Records
I am researching for my great-father's death record. However, I am unable to locate him at all. He died before 1929. I have noticed that the civil death records for Puspokladany, Hajdu, Hungary are not available between 1914 and 1934. It is fairly likely that his death was registered here. Will these records be eventually available. If not, is there any other way I can view the death records from these years?

Recent changes in the laws of this country have required permission changes in how the FamilySearch catalog and other information are obtained and viewed by the public. The first suggestion I can offer at this time is to keep trying to access the records over time, as the permissions may change in the future. Remember that the 1920s to current are not normally allowed because of privacy restrictions.
I can also suggest that at this time you take advantage of other platforms for research, such as Ancestry or FindMyPast, to name a few, which work under different restrictions than FamilySearch.
You may also want to contact the original Archives that hold the records if it is still possible to go directly to the source.

@Adam51227 You are correct that we have no civil death records for Puspokladany for 1914-1934. I cannot find any evidence that they were ever filmed by FamilySearch. Since the death certificates for the previous and subsequent years are freely available, I assume these were either missed or the books were missing at the time of filming. You might try checking with the Hajdú-Bihar County Archive to see if they still exist.
