THE POPULATION OF FILKEHÁZA IN LIGHT OF THE RESEARCH OF REGISTERS(1783-1825) I

I wanted to include a somewhat personal topic in the edition honouring Tivadar Petercsák s birthday, sol decided to study the very first register ofbirths from Filkeháza, his native village. The register s entries reflect the changes in the villages population, their customs in marrying and choosing the names of their children, provide data on the godparents, etc.

The data from Filkeháza show that in the researched period there were 5-6 marriages a year on average. They were held mostly in the carnival season between Epiphany and Shrove Tuesday, primarily in the month of February. Any day of the week was deemed suitable for a wedding, but the most popular day was Sunday, since over half of the marriage ceremonies were held on a Sunday.

When we look at the names chosen for babies, the people of Filkeháza preferred a very small selection of first names. In the period under review, the 248 boys born were given 13 different names and the 223 girls received 9 different names.

The register reveals that the largest family and the most common family name in Filkeháza was Szujeta. Other typical family names include: Koritár, Kajla, Farkas, Fazekas, Zsidik, Lesko, Mathi, Sándor, Orosz, Sandrik, Gmitro/Mitro, Feczko and Michalko. The Petercsák family was present in the region as early as the 1780s, however instead of Filkeháza, they mostly lived in Radvány and Pálháza.

The register entries also reveal the names of the parish priests and cantors serving in Filkeháza. From 1826 we find more data and more precise entries in the registers, since from that year marriage registrar entries also included the place of origin of the bride and groom, as well as the names and legal status of their parents.
