The grandfather of my Hungarian wife, Antal Kasztory, born in Basaid 4.10.1895, a roman-katholic, died in Budapest 23.3.1941, but we know very little from him. The only details of his parents: Antal Kasztory and Luyza Bauer - she died in Basaid 24.11.1904.
I do hope to hear more of them.
Did you ever try to contact them directly, Catholic Church that is: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30746099
The church was built in 1833.

hungarian records are available online, also records for Basaid Roman Catholics. Give me a few days and I will look them up for you.

Records are available if you send direct request to the parish priest in Bašaid. There is a standard tariff for issuing of each individual official certificate of birth and baptism, marriage or death. You are also *advised* to consider a small donation to the parish to help with obtaining these certificates and as agesture in return for the current priest spending a lot of time to extract the data you need. I suggest you first obtain in this manner the birth and baptism record of Antal Kasztory.
From the information I got you should be looking for an earlier parish of origin of this family, and you should be looking for that in the records of RC church for the parish of Kikinda.
These records are not online and can only be researched in the state archives in Serbia, or in LDS centres around the world by viewing them on microfilms.
If you need me to compose a letter for the priest in Bašaid let me know, he is willing to help you.
