Zemplén County, 1500s-1800s - View Here
This is essentially an index to the nobility records for Zemplén megye. This index is an extract of the surnames that appear with the Elenchus Actorum Nobilitarium.
The original records are organized alphabetically, then chronologically. Most entries provide a brief description, written entirely in Latin, of each document being cited. Each entry will be followed by a corresponding file number; example: “Prot. 2 Pag 54,” or “Fasc. 10 No 926.”
“Prot.” is an abbreviation for Protocollum, a Latin word meaning “the first sheet of a volume on which contents and errata were written”. All Protocollum documents correspond with a specific page, not file number.
“Fasc.” is an abbreviation for Fascis, a Latin word meaning “bundle, packet, package, or parcel.” Fascis files from this time period typically contained several pages, with the cover/title page being the last page of the entire fascis file. An example: Fasc. 9 No 855 contains 5 pages in total, the title page being on page 5 and pages 1-4 containing the actual documents.
Once you have found an entry with a Fasc. or Prot. number, you can then consult the title page in the FamilySearch catalog, sourced below, to review the actual documentation.
