1828 Census
This census was mandated throughout Hungary. The purpose of this census was to provide information about taxable property and conscription information. It was mandated throughout Hungary.
Census records with headings translated available on the FamilySearch Wiki at this Census link. The census is available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. The films are organized by county and within each county, the names of the various villages. Only those with taxable property are included in the census, so some households are not lists.
Headings: Nomen Jurisdictionis = Name of the district. Nomen Loci conscripti = Name of the described settlement.
Column 1: Nomina contribuentium - Names of taxpayers
Column 2: Personae Contribuentium utiusque sexus conjugatae, aut non conjugatae, inde ab expleto 18vo aetatis anno usque 60um inclusive = The number of taxpayers of either sex, married or not, between the ages of 18 and 60 incl. contributing to the financial well-being of the household (including servants)
Column 3: Ex his sunt = of which are: [Category of contributing individuals].
Honorationes = nobles (aristocracy [some nobles may have been exempt from taxation and may not be included] This category probably included professionals such as the clergy, teachers, lawyers, etc.]
Cives = citizens Polgár. One translation of this category gives the following comment: "Though non-noble landowners were sometimes classified as polgár, here I believe they mean only citizens (ie. voters) in Royal Free Cities (ie. burghers). Note: in the counties (ie. everywhere except the few Royal Free Cities) only nobles were permitted to vote".
Coloni = farmers (renting the land until 1848) One commentary describes this category as follows: "I believe this category included the non-noble landowners mentioned above, the szabados (literally freemen, peasants who bought themselves out of their feudal obligations), and the more numerous top-echelon of peasants (jobággy). These farmers had a house, kitchen garden, and sufficient land to support a large family. The key difference between these groups was that the jobággy didn't actually own their land. Rather they held feudal tenure on the land and therefore had feudal obligations to the landlord including service. It is important to note that in 18th and early 19th century Hungary, the top-echelon of peasants were often better-off than the lower nobility".
Inquilini = tenants Cotters -- in Hungarian "Zsellér." These were the lesser peasants. They typically had a house and a kitchen garden. But, their farmland was too small to support a family, so they probably also worked as "share-croppers" on manorial land.
Subinquilini = subtenants This lowest category of peasant usually did not have their own house, but had a hearth for their family in the house of another peasant. Essentially they were farm laborers on manorial land.

It is important to note that most nobles were exempt from taxes, and therefore they and their manorial land was not included in this census. Likewise, most peasants did not hold taxable property and so they also were not included. That does not mean these other peasants went untaxed. They did not. In addition to their feudal obligations to their landlord, they were taxed by the county ... just not on the basis of their land. So, who is included in this census:
Burghers: usually city-folks who were merchants, artisans, professionals such as lawyers, etc. who owned their homes and businesses.
Non-Noble Landowners: these farmers existed in significant numbers in only a few areas but overall in Hungary they were few in number.
Jobággy - the top-echelon of Peasants: whose significant feudal holdings made them subject to taxation. By1828 the distinction between the jobbágy and non-noble landowners had blurred considerably.
Tax-paying Nobles: usually the poorest of nobles who owned very little land, or in some cases none at all, who were subject to taxation as a result of recent changes in the law.
Other People: such as the "inquilini" (cotters) and the "subinquilini" (farm laborers) on this census record, who in some cases owned taxable property, but were probably more often included out of military conscription considerations.
Jews may be identified with the term “Jud” or “Judaus” before or after their name. In some instances, other terms such as Jude, Judens, Hebr, Izr, Zsido, or Mos may have been used. Sometimes, the Jews were listed with only their first name, or only their last name. It is believed some of the individuals listed in the Census were Jews but not identified as such. Some of these may be recognizable by the combination of their surname and given name. These are thought to represent a very small percentage of the total.
