  Baptist Union of Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baptist Union of Hungary (Magyarországi Baptista Egyház) is an organization of Baptists in Hungary for promoting cooperation in ministry.
Because of division in opinion and ideas of the German and Hungarian leadership, two unions evolved and were maintained until the division was healed in 1920.
In 1875, Baptists entered Transylvania from Hungary, which is largely responsible for the Convention of the Hungarian Baptist Churches of Romania.

About 89.5% of the people of Romania are ethnic Romanians, a group that — in contrast to its Slavic or Hungarian neighbors — traces itself to Latin-speaking Romans, who in the second and third centuries A.D. conquered and settled among the ancient Dacians, a Thracian people.
However, ethnic Hungarians and Germans were the dominant urban population until relatively recently, and still are the majority in Harghita and Covasna counties.
Roman Catholics, largely ethnic Hungarians and Germans, constitute 4.7% of the population; Calvinists, Baptists (see Baptist Union of Romania and Convention of the Hungarian Baptist Churches of Romania), Pentecostals, and Lutherans make up another 5%.

If you want information that you cannot find in church records you may have to have some idea of which noble family, monastery, or royal city was landlord to your ancestral town or village and then try to find out where the pre-emancipation-of-serfs records are archived.
Church records include military Kirchenbücher, the records that the state had on hand, and not the records of civil parishes.
This includes the number of houses in the town, the area (in hectares) - which is further broken down by usage - fields, forest, gardens, etc. - and a census of all the livestock in town: horses, cattle, sheep, and swine.
