Hlavácsné Kérdő Katalin: Magyarország történeti helységnévtára 1773–1808. Nógrád megye II. (Salgótarján–Budapest, 2002)
Summary
errors experienced in one or another source require notes. These remarks and comments can be found in the Notes arranged according to the order of occurrence in the gazetteer and marked with the original serial number. The cross in brackets (+) after a derived form of a name calls the attention to a note referring to it. Index of place names [Helynevmutat6J: It helps to locate the names used in the data collection and in the Notes. All forms of names are listed here if the differences in spelling change pronunciations, as well. These name variations refer to the derived names, where the legal status may be found, as well as the serial number of the item, and - to avoid repeated turning of the pages - the mark of the grid number is also given. The Index of place names also informs about the present names of the communities and - if any changes happened - about the name of the county (or country) to which it belongs now. This Index includes also the names of settlements which only now belong to the county given in the title of the volume, and indicates which county-volume will include their data concerning the end of the 18th century. Index of religious denominations [Felekezeti mutat6k]: The possibility to look up the settlements inhabited by Roman Catholics [r6mai katolikus], Greek Catholics (Uniates) [gorOg katolikus], Greek Orthodox [gorogkeleti], Calvinists [reformatus], Lutherans [evangelikus] and Israelites [izraelita] is rendered by the Index of the individual denominations, where also the legal status, serial number and grid number of the settlements are given. However, the structure varies according to what importance the data of the church administration have, and to the peculiarities of each source. In the case of Roman Catholic Ch urch which has the best structure of administration, the purpose of the Index is to give a clear insight into church administration and affiliation system. Affiliations belonging to decanates are listed also by dioceses in the alphabetical order of the mother churches [mater], the legal status (2), the serial number (3), grid number (4); moreover the number of Roman Catholic people (5), as well as the distance - measured in hours - from the mother church (6) are also added. The Calvinist Church was organized in a less firm structure, and the available sources do create much more problems of source-criticism. This Index provides help in solving these, as it gives a comprehensive list of data of various conscriptions on Calvinist parishioners in each church district, inside of it in each diocesis in the alphabetical order of the settlements. Thus it makes a better estimation of the contemporary number of parishioners in the settlements missing from certain parish conscriptions. Data retrieval in the manual and on the map is ensured by the legal status (2), serial number (3) and grid number (4) given in this Index. There are no late 18th century conscriptions for all settlements which might provide information about the number of the Lutheran parishioners. Therefore the data in this Index contains references of later periods and can serve as the basis of estimation. Data retrieval in the manual and on the map is ensured by the legal status (2), serial number (3) and grid number (4) given in this Index. Index of landowners [Birtokosmutat6]: compiled to help the work of researchers dealing with estate history by giving the alphabetical list of the owners.
