Abstract

This paper provides an account of the author’s family history in the context of her microhistorical research into the lives of her mostly peasant ancestors living in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Szentes, a small agricultural town in the middle of the Great Hungarian Plain. After becoming a recognized branch of historical research, in the past decade microhistory has made its way into genealogical research, offering an approach and methodology that allows for the piecing together of information about ancestors even when detailed accounts or documents are missing – either because they were lost or because they never existed in the first place. Such microhistories then offer insight into and provide important details for local social history, results that take family history work well beyond the personal scope.
家族微观史:匈牙利森特斯的系谱研究
本文在对她生活在18世纪和19世纪匈牙利大平原中部的一个农业小镇森特斯(Szentes)的主要是农民的祖先的生活进行微观历史研究的背景下,介绍了作者的家族历史。在成为历史研究的一个公认分支后,在过去的十年里,微观历史已经进入了家谱研究,提供了一种方法和方法,即使在详细的账目或文件丢失的情况下,也可以将祖先的信息拼凑在一起——要么是因为它们丢失了,要么是因为他们根本就不存在。这样的微观历史提供了对当地社会史的深入了解并提供了重要的细节,这些结果使家族史的工作远远超出了个人的范围。
