Birth Records from Kosice
Posted In
Description
We are having a family reunion and researching family history. My grandmother came over on the Carpathia in 1913 and lived in Kasa, Hungary (present day Kosice, Slovakia) prior to arrival. That is all I know. She was born in 1889, likely somewhere in the region. Is there a source that could provide more detail on birth records for that time frame and area?

Hello Jeff,
Please, try the FamilySearch dot org (FS) website. You can search their Catalog (FS, Search, Catalog), then type the place name. You can also search all the FS records (under Search - Records). You may be right, it might the place somewhere close to Kosice, she was born. Possibly check the places of those who travelled with her and were on the same ship. The records are kept locally and the right location is crucial as it saves time.
CGSI has many online presentations and videos of How to... (..find the right place of origin and where to look for records). You can also attend the upcoming CGSI-RDG (discussion group) on May 2nd for hearing other tips. The link to join is on the website under News & Events (members only event).
