You probably need the illusive STATE ARCHIVES OF THE ZAKARPATSKA REGION in Berehove. This is where the records (for up until 1946), when area was under domain of other countries than Ukraine, are kept. You are looking for records in this area, when it was Hungary>Austro Hungarian Empire.
Archives are run by an ex KGB guy, who is especially uncooperative. He doesn't respond to civilian inquiries
You need to contact Louis Schonfeld. Mr. Schonfeld is the former President of the Hungarian SIG and has done extensive research in this region. There are few more knowledgeable re genealogy research in the Zakarpatska Region and his generous help is non-sectarian.
Louis has private connections w/Berehove Archives. You do have to provide him w/real detail, like appx DOB & place of birth. There is a nominal fee for each name.
