| Περίληψη: | The article portrays the socio-familial network of Huguenots settled in Szczecin [DE: Stettin] in the third decade of the eighteenth century, which was the French community’s first period of existence in the city. The study aims to demonstrate the social relations and their conditioning within the parish through data on participation in baptism. Those relations were analysed using Social Network Analysis after reconstructing the network and including all of the agents, both active (adults) and passive (children). The study also used HISCLASS coding, which revealed relatively low consanguine behaviours within the community, as well as a certain “anomaly” in baptism ceremonies, where the godparent was simultaneously the parent of the child. The article’s core narrative centres around the main characters in the network, classified according to network metrics. In the Huguenot community in Szczecin, craftsmen, who dominated the network, formed strong ties. Their milieu in turn was closely linked to small-scale factory owners and medium or small merchants. These social groups formed the majority of social leaders. The fathers’ social status within the community was also one of the decisive factors in receiving a larger number of invitations to become a godparent. The Huguenots’ isolation within a hostile Lutheran environment contributed to their insularity. An exception to this rule was a select group of noblemen who initiated close social ties with Prussian officials in the province. |
