The article contains a description of the analysis carried out on the data contained in the annual shematisms (census publications) of the Greek Catholic diocese in Przemyśl, on the example of the parish in Zyndranowa in the years 1830–1936. Subsequent annals contain information concerning, among others, the number of believers, churches and parish priests; as well as the property status of parishes, schools, church and rural institutions. The author conducts a detailed review of these data, referring to the historical, social and economic context. Particular attention was paid to the demo- graphic data. In order to assess the reliability of the source, a comparison of the data with other con- temporary materials was made, including shematisms issued by the government of Galicia and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Przemyśl. The analysis shows a high convergence of data, especially those directly concerning the population, property and financial status of the Greek Catholic parish.
