PÉTER SZUHAY : The history of a gentry family in the 18th-20th centuries: the Mlinkós of Besenyőtelek A research team of the Museum of Folklore (Néprajzi Múzeum) of Budapest has been working since 1983 on the history of Besenyőtelek after the Turkish occupation. This research integrates the questions and methodology of historiography, demography, sociology and ethnology with the purpose of a full-scale utilization of different sources and techniques of description. In this way, the team attempts to describe the history of local ^iety with its stratification and the shifts within the strata and to dghlight social structure by uncovering relationships on the level of micro-analysis. The author shows possible achievements and perspectives of this sort of research by introducing the reader to the study of the history of a single family. The hypothesis of this study: the Mlinkó family had, in the 300 years of its history, worked out and held on to a family strategy, which made it possible to rise or at least stay put in the social hierarchy in spite of the fact that the population of the family kept growing. Unlike in other gentry families, the differentiation between members of the Mlinkó family was not very pronounced and did not produce sharp dividing lines. It is a description of this strategy that the paper delivers. This is based on the following methods and sources: the author has prepared a genealogy of the Mlinkó family from its " ancestor " arriving in Eger at the end of the 17th century up to the present day; then a family - and household — reconstruction was made basically by processing the parish registers — they survive from 1711 partially, from 1747 on entirely - by excerpting the documents certifying gentry status and by family sheets produced on he spot for family members living in the 20th century. This provided a net of the kinship system of the Mlinkós. It was this net that the data of the registers from archival sources and the results of the questionnarie have been projected upon. The data from archival sources came from the cadastral survey of Joseph II., the yearly cattle — and grazing rights listings between 1821-1850, the house — and landtax registrations of 1850 's, the land-register of 1852, the survey', before the commassation of 1873; the cadastral surveys of 1884 and 1906, a statistical survey of 1951. These were complemented by a questionnaire on economy made in 1983 and another on 20th century life-paths, both of them made by the researchers themselves, further supplemented by occasionsL documents of legal proceedings in civil and criminal cases. Positions of local administration and power were mapped by collecting signatures from minutes and accounts of local organs. With the help of the outlined methods and sources some light was shed on the system of strategies, that secured the Mlinkó 's goal through influencing the choice of marriage partners, picking carreers for the children, the " right " inheritance-system and the " right " way of managing the farm.
