Summary/Abstract: After the end of Ottoman rule, Vác, a significant episcopal seat in the Middle Ages, lay in ruins, awaiting renewal. The landlords – the bishops of the time – ensured the dominance of the Catholic population during the settlement. The place of origin of the settlers, who were mostly of German origin, can be traced from few sources. The register of converts preserved in the parishes contains numerous entries about the conversion of Lutheran Germans to the Catholic faith, with specific names and origin data.
