This was also one of the earliest villages established on the von Mercy estates and was a filial of Varsád from almost the time of its inception. It did not become a Mother Church until after the Edict of Toleration. The baptismal/birth records were kept by an unknown Levite Lehrer that begin in 1724. These entries are duplicated in the church records of the Lutheran Church in Varsád but on occasion a baptism may be recorded in only one of the two sets of records. The original families in Kalaznó originated in Upper Hesse in the vicinity of Alsfeld except for some Heidebauern. There are few entries in the baptismal records from outside of the community except for some families in Högyész, Kappóny, Mucsfa, Ecsény, Berény, Tevel and Szakadát.

They intermarried with families from Kistormás, Keszö Hidegkút, Gyönk, Varsád, Udvári, Felsö Nána, Szárázd, Missla, Ecsény, Bikal, Bátaapáti, Mucsfa, Kéty, Dalmánd, Murga, Somogydöröcske, Bonyhád, Kismányok, Mekényes, Gerényes, Kéty, Tékes, Gadács, Sárszentlörinc, Högyész, Györköny, Rác Kozar, Kapoly, Máza, Belecska, Putenda, Kötcse, Tevel, Tarrós and Nagyszekély.

Large numbers of the families in Kalaznó migrated to Somogydöröcske and Murga.
