Missing Lebeny, Moson, Hungary Recrods
I spent several years researching, and viewing, online records for my ancestral villages: 1) MosonSzolnok, 2) Győrsövényház, and 3) Lébény. All three villages are near each other in northwestern Hungary. I can still find the church records for MosonSzolnok and Győrsövényház, but I can no longer find the records for Lébény on your website. Where did they go? Can you put them back in?
I should note that the village of Lébénymiklós is next door to Lébény, but is a separate village and the church records have always been separate.
The records used to be found as Lébény, Moson, Hungary but now appear to be found under "Lébény, Mosonmagyarovari jaras, Győr-Moson-Sopron, Hungary". I have no idea why the name was changed.
I am trying to continue my research but cannot do so without the records. I hope you'll be able to find them and placed online again. Can you tell me how to find them?
Thank you,
Patrick

@Patrick Furnstahl Thank you for explaining your research background and concerns so clearly.
The Lébény church records have not been removed. While I do not have the exact film numbers you previously used, I was able to locate records associated with Lébény, Moson, Hungary, using the place search in the catalog. Lébény and Lébénymiklós remain separate villages, and their church records have not been combined. In my testing, I did not find records listed under Lébénymiklós when searching by place or keyword.
At this time, the Lébény records can also be located using Lébény, MosonSzolnok, and Gyorsovenyhaz as keywords rather than as a place, or by accessing them directly if you already have a related film or Image Group Number (DGS). You will note that our system does not recognize special characters. This will not affect the search results with or without them.
If you would like to share specific record types or time periods you are researching, I would be happy to help guide you to the appropriate materials.
