I am looking for information from my dad's side. Last name is Vig from Basahaid. Other names are: Csordad, Teibock, Fargas & Forkosh. My dad, Peter Vig, was born in 1923. His dad, Antal Vig, was born in 1888. His dad was Sandor Vig. I do not know his birthdate. Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to provide. Irene

Hi, we will be able to respond at the end of next week.

Irene,

Your ancestors were ethnic Hungarians. do you know their religion? The availability of records will depend on that but in any case, nothing is available online and you can only research the records in the parish offices and in the state archives.

Alternatively some records are available on microfilms in the Hungarian State Archive MOL in Budapest, and some are available via Family Search centres around the world also on microfilms ( usually no records later that 1895.)

I suspect that Forgosh and Fargas surnames you have are misspellings of Hungarian surname Farkas, and Csordad is originally spelled Csordas.

Or sooner.

Hi,

I am pretty sure that they were Catholic. Maybe Serbian Orthodox? Are those 2 similar? The town is Bashaid/Bikac in Kikinda. It was part of Austro-Hungary when my grandfather was born. Then it became Yugoslavia and now it is Serbia(Vojvodina).

Thanks for your help.

Irene
