NOTE: Village names are ones that existed in Galicia region of Austria Hungary. For instance, my maternal grandfather was born in Dragabartfalva, Zakarpattya Oblast, Ukraine. That is what is shown on passenger lists and immigration documents.

Today, that village is named Dorobratovo. This is one source for viewing alternative names for villages. TIP: Use "CTRL + F" keys (without quote marks) to search for a village of interest.

A more comprehensive resource is HUNGARIAN VILLAGE FINDER, ATLAS, AND GAZETTEER for the KINGDOM of HUNGARY. Published by Suzanne SOMODI Jimenez in 2005. http://www.hungarianvillagefinder.com/.

I purchased the CD instead of download so I could install on several of my home computers.

THIS MESSAGE WAS SENT TO ME BY A COLLABORATOR LIVING IN UKRAINE. WHEN I FORWARDED IT TO OTHERS I AM RELATED TO OR COLLABORATING WITH, THEY FOUND INFORMATION THEY HAD NOT FOUND AFTER MANY YEARS OF RESEARCH.

IF YOU ARE RESEARCHING ZAKARPATTIA OBLAST, HOPE IT WILL HELP.

THIS IS THE GENERALIZED PAGE. GO TO VILLAGE OF INTEREST.

************* EXAMPLE FOR MY BIDZILYA FAMILY *******************

I have found a 1921 census record of Czechoslovakia. It was conducted two years after Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye when Podkarpatska Rus (Zakarpattia oblast) was given to Czechoslovakia. If you haven’t seen this I think you will be interested. The pdf file of a specific page and the link are included. There you can see the Bizilia family along with Vasil Bizila in the fifth row. They were registered in Dorobratovo.
