lived in the village. The trend of decreasing population of Andrid maintained until the second half of the 17th century, when, for several years (1663-1670) the village was empty. The demographic situation started to normalize slowly, after the revolt led by Francis Rákóczi II (1703-1711). In 1715, 25 families lived in Andrid, while, in 1716, the number grew to 48. It was the period when the big number of Romanians living in the village increased significantly, too. This community, distinct in the ethnic and religious aspects, was formed a separate body in the area of the settlement, apart from that where the Flungarian Protestant community lived. The spatial division between the two ethnic groups was preserved until today, conferring to Andrid the specific sight of a mixed village in the Plain of Satu Mare. The social and spiritual life of the inhabitants of Andrid was separated in the two communities, focused around the two parishes (Calvinist and Greek-Catholic) and on the corresponding religious schools, of which we have data since 1774. Some changes in the structure of the population of Andrid were recorded during the nineteenth century. While the number of Greek-Catholic and Calvinist inhabitants remained the same, at the turn of the eighteenth century a small Roman Catholic community and a Jewish one was formed in Andrid. Thus, in 1851, there were 915 Calvinists, 521 Greek Catholics, 53 Roman Catholics and 45 people of mosaic rite in Andrid. The area of Andrid suffered several natural disasters during the nineteenth century. Since 1829 and for a decade onwards, there have been no less than six earthquakes of 6-7 degrees magnitude on the Richter scale, which affected or even destroyed totally several households. Of the monuments of the village, the Calvinist Church of Andrid was ruined in 1832 requiring total reconstruction. Although from military point of view, the revolution of 1848 and 1849 had no significant event at Andrid, his-Uşa împărătească A királyi kapu The Royal Doors
