Summary/Abstract: Beside last wills, marriage agreements are one of the most important sources for studying family life of bourgeois and peasants of the 18th century. By analysing these contracts and completing its data (for instance, studying the status and age of the couple) we can size up some tendencies in the marriage mart. The subject of our investigation is the society of Óbuda/Altofen, a market town. It is particularly interesting, because its population was composed by various ethnicities.
