Illegitimate (fili illegitimi / filiae illegitimae) and Bastard (spuri) Children in Križevci during the 18th Century: On the Margins of Family

U radu su izloženi rezultati istraživanja o nezakonitoj djeci rođenoj tijekom 18. stoljeća u župi Križevci. Istraživanje se temeljilo na sadržaju matičnih knjiga Župe: od prve matične knjige krštenih (započeta 1689. godine) do kraja 18. stoljeća. Pristup je horizontalan i vertikalan. Horizontalnim pristupom izvršeni su statistički pregledi o učestalosti pojave nezakonite djece (kronološki i po nekim drugim parametrima), dok su vertikalnim rekonstruirani pojedinačni slučajevi. Svrha tih analiza bila je ta da osvijetli aspekte društvenog života u Križevcima i u okolnim selima koja su pripadala župi Križevci. Premda su upisi u matične knjige Župe pisani administrativnim i lapidarnim stilom, kao i s namjerom da objektivno sačuvaju bitan podatak (krštenje, vjenčanje, smrt), »između redova« mogu se iščitati i brojni drugi podaci.The paper presents the research results on illegitimate children born during the 18th century in the Parish of Križevci. The research was conducted based on the Parish registers: from the first baptismal register (started in 1689) to the end of the 18th century. Both the horizontal and vertical approaches to research were used. The horizontal approach was used to perform statistical surveys on the frequency of illegitimate children (by the chronological and some other parameters), while individual cases were reconstructed vertically. The purpose of those analyses was to shed light on aspects of social life in Križevci and the surrounding villages that belonged to the Križevci Parish. Even though the entries in the Parish registers are written in an administrative and lapidary style and with the intent to objectively preserve important information (baptism, wedding, death), many other data can be read “between the lines”
