Polány

Somogy County

The village had a mixed population of Hungarian Roman Catholics and German Lutherans.  The first Lutheran settlers came from Tolna County and Somogydöröcske around 1780 and a second wave of settlers arrived around 1860 with most of the new families coming from Somogyszil, Somogyvámos and Lajos Komárom (Veszprem County).  The Lutherans formed a filial congregation connected to the Mother Church in Ecsény where all the information with regard to the families can be found.
