Sankt Michael: Birth, Marriage and Death Records

The 1780-1827 Catholic birth records database, the 1749-1827 Catholic marriage records database, and the 1794-1827 Catholic death records database are courtesy of BB member Bernhard Antal, who transcribed these Catholic records for Sankt Michael (Hungarian: Pustaszentmihály; Kroat: Sveti Mihalj). Copyright for each remains with Bernhard.

The databases consist of 4,817 birth records from 1780-1827, 1,587 marriage records from 1749 to 1827, and 2,326 death records from 1794 to 1827.

Sankt Michael (Pustaszentmihály) appears to have been the official Catholic recording location during this time for Gamischdorf (Ganócs), Güttenbach (Pinkóc), Neuberg (Újhegy), Rauchwart (Rábot) and Schallendorf (Salafa).

The databases consist of 6,787 birth records, 1,355 marriage records, and 5,368 death records from 1828 to 1895.

Sankt Michael (Pustaszentmihály) was also the official Catholic recording location for Gamischdorf (Ganócs), Güttenbach (Pinkóc) [until 1847], Neuberg (Újhegy) [until 1847], Rauchwart (Rábot) and Schallendorf (Salafa) during this time.

In the birth records, [Halva született] = stillborn; [illegitim(a/us)] = [spuri(a/us)] = illegitimate female/male; [törvénytelen] = illegitimate; fiú = son.

The database consists of 1,167 marriage records (1,160 marriages, as there are 7 double entries) from 1895 to 1920.

Sankt Michael was also the official Civil recording location for Gamischdorf, Güttenbach, Neuberg, Rauchwart and Schallendorf (same as for the Catholic parish) and, from 1895 through 1906, for Deutsch Tschantschendorf (Németcsencs), Kroatisch Tschantschendorf (Horvatcsencs) and Tudersdorf (Taródcencs).

The 1894-1925 civil Coroner death records database is courtesy of BB member Bernhard Antal, who transcribed the coroner records for Sankt Michael. Copyright remains with Bernhard.

The database consists of 807 coroner records from 1894 to 1925.

These records are called Leichenbeschau (death inspection) in German and are the equivalent of what we call inquest or coroner's records in the US. Mathias Hanzl was the death inspector for St. Michael from 1894 until 1925, a role he also carried out for Gamischdorf through 1898 (and occasionally thereafter). Records for a few other locations appear if he was the only coroner available at the time of that death. These records provided the data for the official civil death certificates so should match what is in the FamilySearch civil death record images for St. Michael (t

hough they are incomplete as other coroners covered other villages in that civil recording district).

+ to the right of a name indicates deceased at the time of the event.
