genealogical sources
MATRIKY (Vital registers of births, marriages, deaths) POZEMKOVE KNIHY (Land registers) - information on the sequence of farmstead owners, owners´s siblings and parents, maiden names of married women, amount of debt, claims, shares of inheritance, size of farm and its equipment, relationships among relatives, the price of real properties, the amount of taxes and fees, sevices and duties KNIHY SMLUV (Registers of contracts) - agreements among people (who, when and why was a cotract done) SIROTCI KNIHY (Orphan registers) - records on owned money, when they were paid to orphans after deceased possessor of a house KNIHY SVATEBNICH SMLUV (Registers of marriage articles) - agreements between marriage couples KATASTRY (Cadastres) - information on land property and yields (contained in three cadastres: Tereziansky katastr, Josefinsky katastr, Stabilni katastr) ROBOTNI SEZNAMY (Lists of manorial labour duties) KNIHY KVITANCI (Registers of debts) - registers correspond with the land registers. It means that contracts recorded in land registers were to be paid by a new house-possessor. His liabilities were recorded in land registers or in registers of debts. Also, people who borrowed money, their liabilities were recorded in registers of debts. Sometimes the betrothed pair concluded a contract before their marriage. Their liquidated liabilities were registered as well. In the registers of debts we usually can found: debtor´s name, owner of amount due, how much it was paid, rest of debts, date of payment, amount paid for making a record SCITACI OPERATY (Censuses of inhabitants) URBAR - Lists of serfs who had agricultural (or other) duties to their nobility. The oldest preserved "Urbar" was kept by the Prague archbishop (from about 1290). Taxes given to nobility were recorded with names of serfs, amount and date of transfering money to clerks (usually in spring and autumn) KRONIKY
(Chronicles) - ADRESAR (Address book) SCHOOL FILES - for our purpose the most useful are school cronicles, lists of students or school certificates. School certificates usually provide us results that students achieved during their studies. Lists of students are used for a basic orientation for checking if our searched person visited a school we supposed to. CHURCH FILES CECHY (Trades)
- if
your
ancestors kept a trade (e.g. they were shoemakers, butchers, bakers and so
on), a lot of interesting resources can be found on them, even sometimes from
the 14th century: |
