Abstract
My study is based on an empirical historical demographic analysis. I tried to present Kiszombor’s society between 1830 and1839. The main sources of my research were the registers of the local Roman Catholic parish. I was able to track the local community’s demographic changes and the contemporaries’ careers as well by processing the ecclesiastical records of baptisms, marriages, and burials. The number of birth varies in the studied decade, but overall, it increased. The male-female ratio was around 50%, there were bigger differences, but only by 5%. The catholic priests baptized 155 children annually on average. From the ten most fashionable first names six was male, so I concluded the naming practice was more conservative for boys (just now). 13% of the baptized children got one of the parent’s names, what is surprising. The annual distribution of marriage shows growing tendency too. 58% of the marriages took place in the fall season, and 29% in winter. The average age of marriage was 28.5 years. The average age difference – 88% of the cases in favour of men – was 6 years. Women were older in 5% of the relationships. The number of funerals was the greatest in 1831, because of the cholera epidemic. One third of burials took place in summer. Life expectancy at birth was 18.81 years, and 57% of children died before their 14th birthday. In 1831 the cholera endangered mainly the children and people older than forty years. My historical demographic research of Kiszombor’s population will be continued from decade to decade.
