Murga

Tolna County

This was a secondary Hessian settlement with Lutheran families coming primarily from Kalaznó and Roman Catholic settlers from various German Roman Catholic communities. Both groups were placed under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic priest in Zomba and entries with regard to the Lutheran families will be found in those church records up until the time of Edict of Toleration when the Lutherans in Murga became a filial congregation of nearby Kéty that was a Lutheran Mother Church. There was an illegal schoolmaster at work in Murga by 1778 who began the baptismal/birth records of the congregation. There are also entries for families living in Zomba, Kéty and Kistormás. All of the marriages for families in Murga can be found in Kéty Lutheran records for the period after 1784. There were however some families during the early period who sought out pastors in nearby Lutheran congregations for marriages and baptisms and can be found in the records identified previously above.
