An entry in Familysearch says my great grandparents were married in 1892 at Gyon, Hungary.
Presumably it is local government copies of Synagogue registers which have been transcribed to Familysearch?
Do individual Synagogues keep vaults of ancient registers, or where might they be lodged?
And, I was wondering, might documentation such as engagement announcements or marriages be obtainable from the 19th century?
How I might track them down, given that many Synagogues were destroyed in Europe, and I don't speak Hungarian?

Does the record not explain where it is from?
Some slightly earlier records available to view online:

Perhaps try newspapers , I had a quick look at "periodika" towards the bottom of the list, and searching Gyon brought up lots of hits including various Jewish publications. Try searching on your surnames of interest:

Hope there's something of use here. Sorry, I don't speak Hungarian either, but as part of the Austro Hungarian empire, you may find some of the records or newspapers are in German, which is a bit easier!

obviously you can reduce the results by putting in Christian names and year of birth - good luck

Don't know why I didn't respond to this!
Apologies Garstonite.
