Notes: [The transcription of surnames in census preparations] 1439-1914. 9 notes.
Abstract: Publisher’s abstract "Examines the transcription of surnames of residents of Bratislava, Slovakia, on the basis of sources in the municipal archives dating from the years 1439-1914. In the early centuries, Latin forms of biblical names were used with great frequency among Slovaks, though less so in the Jewish section of the city; with the appearance of the nobility after the battle of Mohbcs in 1526, Magyar surnames appear as well."
