Summary/Abstract: Despite appearances, the history of the Balş family, one of the most important families of medieval and modern Moldavia, still offers historians a rich field of work. With this article, which starts from the Balş Family Register ("Condica de la Dumbrăveni"), which was the basis for the family tree of 1813, I shed some light on the history of the Balş family in the 18th and early 19th centuries and publish some of the unknown documents that I considered most important (wills, dowry papers and estate divisions).
