Summary/Abstract: Registers of births, marriages and deaths contain primary genealogical data, such as names, surnames, dates of birth and death, places of residence, names of parents, witnesses and church registrars. This type of information is a valuable source supplementing the history of a region. The data can be analysed from various angles and for different purposes: biographical, genealogical, demographic, anthroponomastic and toponomastic. The information obtained is particularly useful for researchers studying the history of the registry, medicine, material culture and ethnography.
