References to the Lutheran families who settled here prior to 1730 can be found in various other parishes in the vicinity, especially in the Lutheran Church Records in Kismányok prior to the Edict of Toleration. They were officially placed under the jurisdiction of neighbouring Roman Catholic parishes but many of them sought out the closest Lutheran Churches that were permitted to function at that time. In 1770 the congregation organized secretly and had their own resident Levite Lehrer who taught in the school and led worship as a lay preacher. He began the baptismal records in 1770 but was not permitted to marry or bury officially. The marriage records begin in 1784 and the death register was opened in 1783. In addition to births/baptisms from the local community there are also entries for Lutheran families in Zsibrik, Alsónána, Balatinc, Mórágy, Domonac, Glasshüte, Cikó, Börzsóny, Szálka, and Ófalu.

The marriage records indicate intermarriages with families in Bonyhád, Kalaznó, Bikal, Hidas, Kismányok, Batászék, Kéty, Kistormás, Kölesd, Tékes, Varsád, Kaposszekcsö, Rác Kozar, Tabód, Mucsfa, Majós, Mekényes, Zsombeck, Nagyszekély, Tófü, Magyar Bóly, Paks, Hájmas, Ivan Darde, Magocs as well as those mentioned above previously.
