The Settlement of Slovaks in Kysáč
The Settlement of Slovaks in Kysáč

Summary/Abstract: The first Slovak colonists arrived in some villages of the landed estate of Futog around the middle of the fourth decade of the 18th century. The first Slovak evangelists came to Kysáč in 1773. Our research focuses on the beginning and on the first decades of the arrival of Slovaks to this settlement. The aim of the research is to understand the beginnings and the basic social and economic circumstances at the time of the arrival of Slovaks in Kysáč from the 7th decade of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century using authentic data, primarily from František Jesenský’s Chronicle of the Evangelical Church in Kysáč (1773) and the data from the Archive of Vojvodina, which have been rarely used in previous research, as well as the registers from the archives of the Evangelical churches in Báčsky Petrovec and Kysáč and the existing written documents.
