Abstract

The study aims to introduce the steps of creating a database based on historical nominal sources. Two individual level census materials (from 1857 and 1869) and an online genealogy based on vital registers were linked in case of Bonyhád. While the censuses provide a particularized but static picture of the population, creating a database with linking them to the genealogical records offers a dynamic analysis on a broader spectrum
