Foundlings and Foster Children in Rural Families in 19th-Century Bohemia (Českomoravská vrchovina, Novohradské Hory, Šumava)
Original language description
The study examines foundlings brought up in rural families in Bohemia, Czech Republic. In the late 18th century, a system of foundling hospitals was established to reduce infanticide. Infants were subsequently fostered by rural families, especially in poorer, often mountainous regions, where fostering became a popular income source. The analysis focuses on several parishes located in Šumava, Novohradské hory and Českomoravská vrchovina. Historical sources show regional differences in the number of foundlings, shaped by local economics, transport, and social networks. Attention is paid to the life conditions and social position of abandoned children in foster families.
