Instructions on the books of moved persons

The following search criteria applies to the books of moved:

Years

The search can be limited to certain years, if the approximate date when the person moved from or to a parish is known. If these fields are left empty, all years are included in the search. Note that in the database there are no events from the 20th century.

Examples:

  • 1700 - 1800 = search years 1700-1800
  • 1700 - (the second field empty) = search from year 1700 onward
  • - 1800 (the first field empty) = search from the beginning until year 1800

If necessary, days and months can be used in limiting the time to be included in the search. The dates must be entered in this format: dd.mm.yyyy (e.g. 3.5.1775). One can also enter only the month and year (e.g. 5.1775). In that case the month in question will be included in the search.

Show at most xx events

As the search can find thousands of events, it is possible to limit the number of events to be shown. The alternatives are 15, 30, 50, 100, 250 and 500 events. If the search finds more events, the program shows only the selected number of events and displays the total number of events found.

The limit applies to each parish in the search. Therefore, it is best to keep the number low if several parishes are searched at the same time. Currently the total number of events to be shown is limited to 750 by the program.

The rest of the events can be shown either by increasing the limit (if it was 500 or less) or by adding or narrowing the search criteria. To continue on to the next event in the parish, push the Continue button.

Name (first name, patronymic, last name)
See the instructions of how to input the names.

Where to, from where (place, village, house)
See the instructions of how to input the names of the places. In the books of persons who have moved into a parish "where to" has two fields (village, house) and "from where" one field (place). In the books of persons who have moved from a parish, the fields are reversed.
