The article presents the vital statistics of the population of the town of Pleszew in 1751– –1793. The source materials were birth certificate registers from Pleszew parish and city records. In order to analyze the collected material it was imperative to assess the value of the research sources. The results indicate that the birth certificate registers were carefully main¬tained and in accordance with the prevailing rules but with short breaks in the registration. An analysis of marriages has shown that the most popular months for concluding this sac¬rament were January and February. The article also discusses the influx of German popu¬lation in the vicinity of Pleszew and its consequences. The author draws attention to the accumulation of marriage vows in January and February, the consequence of which was the highest number of births between January and March. Comments are provided on the issue of naming. The mortality rate in the population has been analyzed. This article attempts to present the fate of selected Pleszew families in order to prove that vital records also allow to reconstruct family trees. To further study this issue, however, the scope of the source needs to be broadened.
