Am I actually a Hungarian dual citizen?

11 years ago

Folks, I apologize if this has been answered in previous posts. I can't find much that seems to pertain to my case. Thanks for any answers you can give me to the following questions:

My father was an emigrant to the US in late 1956 or early 1957, and to the best of my knowledge he subsequently naturalized as a US citizen around 10 years later. (I don't know the exact date. My father has since died and I am unable to get his naturalization records because the US gives them only to the naturalized citizen.) I was born in 1966 in the US and I hold US citizenship.

Did my father lose his Hungarian citizenship automatically by naturalizing as a US citizen?
Assuming my father did not lose his Hungarian citizenship through naturalization as a US citizen, and did not renounce his Hungarian citizenship voluntarily, was he still considered a Hungarian citizen until his death a few years ago?
How do I find out whether my father was considered by Hungary to be a Hungarian citizen? What information do I need to supply, and where do I need to write, to establish and verify the facts of my father’s Hungarian citizenship?
Assuming my father was a Hungarian citizen when I was born, am I a Hungarian dual citizen by parentage, according to the Hungarian law that says a person is a Hungarian citizen if their parent was a Hungarian citizen?
If I am a Hungarian citizen under this law, how do I obtain proof of my Hungarian citizenship?
