Abstract

In my study, I present a partially outlined genealogical tree of the first Jewish family to settle in Szeged, examining the family relationships of Mihály Pollák and his adopted son, D. Simon Pollák. I will then present archives and sources that can serve as important resources for genealogical research. Finally, I wanted to find out what kind of system is suitable for processing and publishing the research results within the IT framework of public collections. In light of this, the outlining of the processing workflow in the Registry module of the HunTeka system is a novelty in my research. In conclusion, I describe the functionality of JaDox and Portal24, highlighting their advantages for publishing special documents of the parish and making them available to users in a dynamic environment.
