Researching in Swabian Turkey is often confusing, as the church books were kept at different localities from time to time. Most of those settlements were of Lutheran or Reformed faith, whose churches and pastors were persecuted prior to the Edict of Toleration in 1784. The information below should help the researcher to find out where the church books were kept for individual localities at various times in the County of Tolna. ~Henry Fischer
Tolna (Hungarian) – Tolnau (German) – Tolnensis (Latin)
County – megye (Hungarian) – Komitat (German) – comitatus (Latin)
