Hungaricana

• 1767 Urbarial Census: There has been ongoing work to improve the indexing of the 1767 Urbarial Census. If you haven't checked specific counties recently, many of the handwritten "settlement" signatures and witness lists are being more accurately transcribed.
  
  
• Probate Records: A push to digitize 18th-century probate inventories (hagyatéki leltárak) from the trans-Danubian counties has seen new batches added to the Hungaricana portal. These are incredibly detailed, often listing every single item in a household upon death. This is valuable for social history as much as genealogy.
