The study is devoted to the creation of nepotistic ties between individual officials in the administration of the County of Spiš (Comitatus Scepusiensis, Szepes vármegye, Zipser Gespannschaft, Spišská stolica). In comparison with the County of Liptov, the ties between officials in Spiš were usually not on the level of cousin, uncle, nephew, son-in-law, brother-in-law or god-son. On the basis of the surviving registers, it is possible to conclude that the system of ecclesiastical officials also did not develop in Spiš in a similar way to that in Liptov. These phenomena were clearly connected with the lack of a firm marriage alliance between the Görgey and Máriássy families, which were comparable to the two firmly allied Liptov families: the Okolicsányis and Szentiványis. The only deputy sheriff of Spiš who systematically build up a network of relations was Stephen Máriássy.

The study presents the results of a new form of research on the official elites in the counties at the time of great changes in the role of county administrations in the 18th century. Evidence of the process of building nepotism comes from uncovering the family backgrounds of members of the Liptov official elite on the basis of registers and genealogical tables. Thus, at first sight, the study adds a new dimension to the uninteresting lists of members of the county administration. There was a dense network of blood and “spiritual” kinship ties in the background of the selection of elected officials. They started with the richest and most influential Liptov families: Okolicsány and Szent-Ivány, members of which were elected to the position of deputy sheriff. Both families relied on help from the sheriff from the Illesházy family, who appointed officials if one died or suddenly resigned from his position.
