The article is the first part of statistical analysis of marriage records of Jewish people from Piotrków Trybunalski for the period of 1808–1870. The author rises issues related to the age of entering into a marriage taking into consideration: social and economicfactors, permanent celibacy, prospective spouses’ origins, seasonality, and remarriage patterns. One of the most significant conclusions is the age of concluding a marriage which is the first one for both parties, it is assigned about 20 for women and 22 for men – distinctly lower than in non-Jewish urban communities in the 19th century, like in Piotrków Trybunalski. The author points out diversity in matrimonial customs among Jewish communities of Poland of that time. The statistical evidence from Piotrków Trybunalski does not provide full explanation of the observed differences. Both frequent marriages of widowers with single women, and the duration of widowhood among the group being studied fit into a model investigated in other (non-Jewish) communities, and are contrary to traditional Judaism recommendations.

At the end of the 20th century Polish historians insisted that register books should be examined more extensively in demographic research. In the recent years it has been observed that interest in genealogy and the concept of family in the lower szlachta is growing. The article attempts to analyse and characterise marriages concluded by nobles (szlachta) in the parish of Luzino in the 17th and 18th centuries on the basis of the register books. In the Old Polish period most villages belonging to the parish of Luzino were owned by the lower szlachta. 1697 marriages were contracted there in the years 1670–1752 and 1757–1797, fifteen per cent of which were marriages between members of the nobility. The nobility of Luzino chose spouses from among their closest circles of family and friends. However, the gradual partition of estates led to more and more frequent marriages between members of the nobility and peasants. The article presents the effects of the analysis of the demographic data from the 17th and 18th century marriage certificates. The aim of the article is to reconstruct the genealogical connections between families and is a contribution to more extensive research on the structure and demography of the Kashubian lower noble family.

W artykule analizie poddano śluby w Płonce Kościelnej w latach 1826–1864 w świetle ksiąg metrykalnych. Parafia ta zamieszkiwana była przez drobną szlachtę. Do największych wsi w parafii należały Łupianka Stara i Płonka Kościelna. Celem artykułu było spojrzenie na małżeństwo jako element składowy cyklu życia jednostki i próba odpowiedzi, czy nupturienci przed zawarciem związku małżeńskiego starali się ugruntować swoją pozycję. Poddano analizie 965 ślubów. Analiza ta wykazała, że śluby w Płonce Kościelnej zawierano wcześniej niż w Europie Zachodniej. Rzadko były poprzedzone etapem służby, a nupturienci w większości do dnia ślubów pozostawali pod opieką rodziców (jeżeli żyli). Statystyczne ujęcie źródła wykazało także, że ci kawalerowie, którzy posiadali własne gospodarstwa, wcześniej decydowali się na założenie rodziny.

The article analyzes parish weddings in Płonka Kościelna in the years 1826–1864 in the light of parish registers. This parish was inhabited by petty nobility. The largest villages in the parish were Łupianka Stara and Płonka Kościelna. The aim of the article was to analyze the wedding as an element in an individual’s life cycle and to try to answer whether prospective spouses tried to strengthen their position before their marriage. 965 weddings were analyzed. This analysis showed that marriages in Płonka Kościelna were concluded earlier than in Western Europe. Seldom were they preceded by a stage of service and most of the betrothed remained under the care of their parents (if they were alive) until their wedding day. A statistical approach to the source also demonstrated that those bachelors who had their own farms decided to start a family earlier.
