Several months ago, I used the services of Family Tree, via Anita Monori,
to get copies of some birth and marriage records for my Hungarian
ancestors. After supplying them with the info I had available, they
replied promptly and let me know how much it would cost ($25/record) and
when I would receive them. Since then, I've searched some of the same
films they used and if I had waited would have saved a lot of money, but
it did serve the purpose of giving me some quick starting points for
future research. Good luck!
