Spisy ludności rzymskokatolickiej parafii Bończa z pierwszej połowy XVIII wieku
The Population Census of the Roman Catholic Parish in Bończa of the First Half of the 18th Century

Summary/Abstract: Population censuses from before the second half of the 18th century are rare in Poland. Therefore, an exceptional find in the parish archives of the former Latin rite Chełm diocese is the confessional register from Bończa, dating from 1728–1750. Its publi- cation, which is the inclusion into academic circulation of valuable source material, provides an opportunity for specialists in historical demography to study the data it contains, especially with regard to house- hold structure and the developmental cycle of domestic groups. Wider research is also made possible by the parish registers of bap- tisms and deaths preserved from that period.
