Research into the history of individual families and into genealogy has had a checkered past in Hungary. During the recent decades of political oppression the previously steady stream of works of family history - although often of varied quality - was effectively stopped. However, a family history is not an exercise in nostalgia, nor a self-serving demonstration of a family's origin. Rather, it is a rigorous sub-discipline of history. Its importance lies in the aim to illuminate events and historical changes seen through the lives of individuals of common ancestry; events and historical changes history otherwise presents in generalities. Family history and genealogy offer personalized history, one that differs from the more common presentation of landmarks in a nation's history. In family histories cultural, political, and economic events and processes - as mirrored in the history of one family's generations - are described in a microcosm. It is surely an instinctive pretension of Professor TOtosy, who, before acquiring his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature obtained a Bachelor of Arts in history and who also publishes learned historical works, to research his family's history. The impressive amount of information compiled in this work is a demonstration of Dr. T6t6sy's excellent scholarship. He relies on a wide variety of sources from the sixteenth century to recent times and he also pays close attention to sources about the Middle Ages. He presents the history of the T6t6sy de Zepetnek family in the compilation of its archival documents and other records of its numerous branches and its individual members. In all, the large number of archival documents and other records make the work valuable source material. In addition, the work's value is heightened as it contains, besides the Latin, Hungarian, and German documents, Hungarian translations as well as some English translations. Undoubtedly, the re-emerging literature of Hungarian family history grows richer by this publication and lovers of family histories will read it with great interest. September l, 1992. Dr. Ferenc Makk Chair, Department of Historiographical Sciences J6zsef Attila University Recordsof the Tiitiisyde lepetnek FamilyI 3 PRECIS The T6(6)t(t)os(s)(i)y 1 de Zepet(h)nek family's origin can probably be found in Zala county, Western Hungary. Between 1358 and 1562 a number ofT6t6sy families of free (noble) status were recorded in documents of the adjacent Zala county villages ofKerecseny ("de Teuteus" in 1372; "Thythewsy" in 1513 and 1562); of Baktuttos ("de Thutus" in 1358 and "Thuthusy" in I 382); of Pacsa tuttos ("Thythesy" in 1428, 1479, 1492, and 1513); of Hazugd ("Thythesy" in 1513); and of Zepethk (1549) (cf. Part I[). 2 These families were small land holders, with the occasional member active in the county bureaucracy. For example, a Paulus Totosy was iudex nob ilium [judge] of Zala county in 1415 (cf. Part II ZT4). According to J6zsef Holub and Dezso Csanki, these Totosy families settled in Zala county at the time of the Magyar Conquest of the Danube Basin in the ninth century (cf. Part If). The rarity of the T6t6sy surname led family members and others to specu late that all T6t6sy families descended from one clan or family. Contrary to this belief, previously published historical and more recently researched archival sources demonstrate the existence of a number of unrelated T6t6sy families in several counties across Western Hungary from the time of the earliest records in the thirteenth century (cf. Part If). As most of these Totosy families obtained their family name from a geographical Totos location and as these places were numerous across the counties of Baranya, Somogy, Vas, Veszprem, Tolna, and Zala, and because it may be assumed that in most cases the geographical location preceded the personal or family name, the common clan descent, while possible in the pre-Conquest period, can only be a tenuous hypothesis. Most of the Totosy families in these counties had public noble status (i.e., nobles whose status was recognized throughout the kingdom of Hungary), but in several instances they had local status of nobility or noble status recognized by the landowning church authorities only. In the period after the Battle of Mohacs in 1526 - a period in Hungarian history when the physical, material, and cultural devastation of the country and the consequent social upheaval caused by the Ottoman and Habsburg invasions resulted in the re-formation of the nobility along with the ennoblement or the re-ennoblement of large numbers of families - again numerous T6t6sy families were recorded in 1 For the various spellings of the name cf. the archival documents in this work and the Index. Throughoutthis work the forms "T6t6s","T6t6sy"; and "Zcpctnek"are used, unless differentia tion is necessary to distinguish between specific persons and/or families. 2 In the following, references in parentheseswill indicate the pertinentdocuments presented in this work, e.g., Part IV I (i.e., Risz/Part IV Document I). 4 / Recordsof the Totosyde ZepetnekFamily various registers of nobility. Most of these families possessed a Patent of Nobility (which afforded tax-free status along with other privileges), however not all of them owned land.
