Birth
Haraszthy was born in 1812, in Pest, Hungary, (since 1873 a part of Budapest). He was the only child of Károly Haraszthy and his wife, Anna Maria (née Fischer). The oft-repeated claim that Haraszthy was born in Futak (Futog), Hungary (today part of Serbia), has been disproved: the records of his birth and baptism are preserved today in the Roman Catholic Church of Terézváros in Budapest, where Haraszthy's biographer, Brian McGinty, examined them in 1995.
