Udvári / Udvari
Tolna County
Some Lutheran families of Hessian origin who left Nagyszekély in the 1730’s came and joined German Roman Catholic settlers already living there. Later, Reformed Germans also moved into the community and associated with the Nagyszekély congregation. The Lutherans and Reformed were placed under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic parish of Szakadát and early entries with regard to these families can be found there in addition to some entries in the nearby Lutheran congregations of Gyönk and Varsád and the Reformed congregation in Nagyszekély and some others on occasion. The Lutheran congregation received official legal status by the Emperor in 1789 as a filial of Varsád but the birth and baptismal records in Udvári begin in 1796 and are duplicated in Varsád but some are missing. Those in Varsád begin in 1789. These records also contain some references to families from Pel and Bikács.
The marriage records begin in 1791 and families from the following communities intermarried with those in Udvári: Bikács, Kölesd, Kistormás, Ecsény, Pel, Szárázd, Kalaznó, Gyönk, Nagyszekély, Belecska, Vadkert, Miszla, Keszö Hidegkút and Varsád. After 1839 the marriages can be found in the Varsád marriage register when the two congregations formed a joint parish severed by a single pastor.
