Felsö Mocsolád / Felso Mocsolad

Somogy County

The first settlers here were Reformed Hessians who arrived in 1723 and a congregation was established during that year.  Later, Hessian Lutherans joined them, most of who came from Tolna County.  Among their numbers were Heidebauern from Moson County as well.  Hungarian Reformed settlers followed from Zala County and gradually became the majority.  The congregation became a Mother Church and served a filial congregation in Bonnya that consisted of German settlers from Nagyszekély and Gyönk in Tolna County in the early 19th century.  The congregation also served the Reformed families who lived in Ecsény.  Eventually the German population moved elsewhere or assimilated with their Hungarian neighbours often changing their family names.
