Entries are generally comprehensively completed, sometimes using elaborate calligraphy (those in German). Entries record the names of the child and parents, often including mother's maiden name; the birth date and place; gender; whether the birth was legitimate; information on circumcisions; midwives; and names of witnesses (to the circumcision or name-giving) or godparents. The book is printed in Hungarian but recorded in German until the late 1870s, after which it is recorded in Hungarian. Some Hebrew names are given and addenda are occasionally in Romanian.
