'''Research use:''' These records link families together into family groups and greatly supplement the research process. They are extremely valuable in locating birthplaces, and determining ages, and relationships and lead to primary vital records sources, making them very valuable for pedigree links. Each census is important by itself but each should also be used with church records and other censuses. | '''Research use:''' These records link families together into family groups and greatly supplement the research process.

The ''Register of Subjects According to Their Religion'' was drawn up in 1651 as part of the attempt of the Habsburg monarchy to re-Catholize Bohemia after victory at the Battle of the White Mountain in 1620. Bohemian nobles and higher clergy were largely anti-Habsburg and continued to hope for a restoration. | [[Image:1651 census of Podebrady.jpg|right|300px|1651 census of Podebrady.jpg]] The ''Register of Subjects According to Their Religion'' was drawn up in 1651 as part of the attempt of the Habsburg monarchy to re-Catholize Bohemia after victory at the Battle of the White Mountain in 1620.

When the Thirty Years War ended in 1648 the situation in Bohemia became much calmer. This made it possible to establish a politically stable government, to begin to re-Catholicize the Protestant sections of the population, and to create a new and functioning organization of local parish churches. A prerequisite was to obtain information about the true situation in all Bohemian regions at that time. | When the Thirty Years War ended in 1648 the situation in Bohemia became much calmer.

Most feudal estates had complied with the requirements of the ''Patent'' by the summer of 1651. But on June 1651, before the project of writing up the register had been completed in all regions of the country, the office of the Governor of Bohemia issued a second Patent, abandoning the detailed, standardized form and ordering local administrators simply to provide a brief report concerning non-Catholic individuals. As a result, on some feudal estates the register in the original format was never drawn up at all. In others, it had already been written up but it had not yet been sent in to the central government. The situation differed from one region to another, and it is sometimes impossible to discover, why it has not survived. | Most feudal estates had complied with the requirements of the ''Patent'' by the summer of 1651.
