. “Searching for my father, J. Balogh — arrived in Australia 1961”

Hi everyone,

I’m searching for additional Australian records for my biological father, József (Joseph) Balogh, born 6 September 1938 in Hungary.

I already have his arrival information and his Bonegilla registration card, so his entry into Australia in 1961 is confirmed.

His first known address in Australia was:

117 North Road, Newport (VIC).

What I’m trying to locate now are the missing immigration records between 1961 and 1973 — including any:

  • Alien registration files

  • Early immigration or residency files

  • Sponsorship or employment-related immigration documents

  • Files showing his movements from Victoria to New South Wales

I have located one later file:

NAA: C321, N1973/014034 – “Balogh, Joseph” (1973–1979, Sydney)

Access status: Not yet examined.

There are no other known names connected to him.

If anyone can advise which series numbers, registration types, or RecordSearch methods would be most effective for finding files from the 1961–1973 period, I would be very grateful.

Kind regards,
