Hi Sue,

Just to add to what Joe has already posted for you--

Alh was in Fels-Er Jrs, Vas Megye. This was a fairly large settlement
of about 1800 people. There was a Luthern church in the settlement. Roman
Catholics went to nearby Farcasfalva. Today it is in Austria and called
Marct Allhau.

Eisenburg was the German name for the settlement Vasvr, Vasvr Jrs, Vas
Megye. This village had about 960 people living in it. There were Jewish
and Roman Catholic houses of worship in the village. Lutherns went to
Nagykolta for services, while those of the Reformed faith went to
Terestynszecsd. Vasvar remains in Hungary today and can be viewed on this
interactive map of Hungary--

You can also find all of these placenames on the 1910 map--

To see what census and vital records are available from the above churches,
you can visit the LDS Family History catalog online--

Best of luck,
