557 raises the question whether we ought to consider the descendanxb in the same age as the members of the different generations because of the various degrees of their propinquity (for instance, differentiating between the child and the grandchild of the first generation) or not. To put this question in another way: what kind of elements constitutes the generation at all? These methodological problems appeared during the process of the reconstruction of the lineage of Baron Berzeviczy-Szmrecsányi family. On the basis of the questionnaires, Ms. Lakatos endeavors to answer the following problems: The analysis fo the long-run demographical tendencies in Baron Berzeviczy-Szmrecsányi family: - the number of the subsequent generations, the age-groups of the family and their trends; - the matrimonial custom of the family (the age of the nuptiality, the endogamy in the family as well as the social stratum, the dissolutionn of marriage, the remarriage); - the rate of birth and the fertility of marriage; - the geographical mobility. The analysis of the social status of Baron Berzeviczy-Szmrecsányi family and its change: - the wealth of the family; - the occupational structure of the family members, the titles and ranks; - the multi-generational changes in the occupations; - the social mobility of the subsequent generations (amalgamating with the middle classes, intellectuals, and etc.) - the déclassement and the assimilation to the middle strata of the bourgeoisie. Besides the archival records and sources, Ms. Lakatos collected many relevant personal documents from and made the interviews with the descendants of Baron Berzeviczy-Szmrecsányi family. Ms. Lakatos outlined the first results and the subsequent program of her research. LÁSZLÓ MARJANUCZ

The Jewish immigration in Szeged began to take place in 1792. The liberal magistracy of Szeged permitted them to settle in the town and to pursue their traditional huckstery and trades; in addition the guilds admitted the Jewish masters since 1830.
