This thesis presents the historical-demographic transition and development of the population of Bogomolje parish based on historical sources: population censuses and registers of births/baptisms, marriages and deaths. Based on the data of the first Venetian census of the inhabitants of the island of Hvar from 1673 and the censuses of the Austrian government from 1857 to 1918, the movement of the total number of inhabitants in Bogomolje parish and migration to and from Bogomolje is shown. Bogomolje parish is a hill settlement on the eastern side of the island of Hvar, and it was mentioned as early as the 15th century. It was intensively populated during the period of the Ottoman conquests by the people who fled from the mainland part of the Adriatic coast, mostly from the Makarska coast during the 17th century. During the 19th century, immigration of inhabitants due to economic and existential factors influenced the increase in the number of inhabitants in Bogomolje parish. The analysis of birth/baptism registers of Bogomolje parish for the period from 1745 to 1918 yielded data on the number of births and their gender structure, the time interval between the birth and baptism of children, the number of twins and illegitimate children. Based on these data, birth rates, conception rates, monthly and seasonal distribution of births, and the intervals between the date of the parents' wedding and the birth of the first child were calculated. Data on the number of marriages, the number of repeated marriages, the age of the bridegroom and the bride at the time of marriage were obtained from the marriage registers. Based on these data, the seasonal and monthly distribution of weddings was calculated, the most common days and ceremonies of weddings and the marriageable age were determined. The number of deaths, the gender and age of the dead and the causes of death were obtained by analyzing the registers of the dead in the Bogomolje parish for the period from 1754 to 1918. Based on the obtained data, the gender and age distribution of the deceased, the monthly distribution of the deceased, the average age of the deceased and the most common causes of death are shown. The book Stanje duša from 1832 is rich in information about the inhabitants of Bogomolje parish for the year in question and provides insight into the family structure (e.g., families without children, single mothers, single fathers), marriages and immigrated spouses, order of marriages and other data. The analysis of data on the natural movement of the inhabitants of Bogomolje parish served to observe family customs during the researched period. This is the first historical demographic research of the small parish of Bogomolje on the island of Hvar and represents an original contribution to the study of the entire population of Hvar.
