Rebuilding and resettling of the settlement began after the expulsion of the Turks. As a result of organised settlement the population of the town had risen dramatically by the end of the 17 lh century. This growth - although by no means even - continued into the 18 century. The settlers came partly from the neighbouring settlements - most of these were Hungarians and partly arrived from distant and mainly Catholic German territories. Despite three also being a significant immigration of Slavs, in the 18 th century the Germans alone enjoyed the privilege of laws that distinguished them as an independent ethnic group. The ethnic German citizens of Vác participated in the running of the town, they had theirn own German-speaking teacher and official documents designed to inform were translated from Latin into German and Hungarian. In all events, inhabitants of Vác with Slav names were listed in official documents among the Hungarians. The ethnic composition of 18 th century Vác became more graded following the excavation of the old Dominican crypt under the Chuirch of the White Friars. Analysis of the near-intact painted coffins, the mummified corpses, clothes and coffin accessories can enhance our knowledge of the period. The ethnic status of the buried can be identified partly by coffin inscriptions and partly by notes in death certificates, and so this source can also complement our knowledge of the citizenry of Vác at the end of the 17 th and beginning of the 18 th centuries. Barely one hundred years after the expulsion of the Turks and the recreation and resettlement of the town the inhabitants had yet to assimilate. In the case of the German settlers ethnic separation remained, something demonstrated not only in the public administration and language use, but also preserved in national costume. In such cases, neither did mixed marriages unambiguously lead to Hungarianisation. The Slav population, however - in contrast with the villages - here became Hungarian. Hungarianisation may have been assisted by equal numbers of them undergoing organised resettlement from the same settlement(s) and that the families finding homes in the town did not form unified, determinable blocks within the town. The pieces of clothing that have turned up also support the conclusions drawn from written sources according to which the inhabitants of Vác with Slav names can be found among the Hungarian nationals.
