Abstract

The article deals with anthroponymic material, but also analysis other data found in the parish registers of births (1658-1706), marriages and deaths (1663-1706) which are kept in the parish archives of the town of Murter and which are written in glagolic script. Along with the general data concerning the registers, parsons and priests which were filling in the registers, and the churches in which these ceremonies were performed, the article also outlines a series of transliterated entries and creates an index of the last names of born, married and deceased persons, from the registers. A limited statistical analysis is also applied. Special attention is paid to the first and last names found in the register of the town of Murter. The material published in this article presents a great contribution to our knowledge of the Murter population from the 17th century, and points to the possibilities and necessities of a more serious demographic research.
