Previous studies conducted on Święta Lipka have focused on the church itself and on pilgrimages, whereas little attention has been devoted to the history of the village and its residents. In order to fill the gap for the 18th century, an analysis of the preserved parish registers was conducted. The search provided new information on the local population. It is presented in the form of tabular listings and conclusions drawn from them. The number of baptisms, marriages and deaths are given. The surnames of families with four or more children are listed, assuming that it may testify to their permanent residence in this village. The names of teachers, organists, church wardens, tailors, bricklayers, potters, fishermen, and forest rangers are established. A list of Jesuits and diocese priests working in Święta Lipka is corrected. The popularity of names of baptised children is analysed. The death register provided more detailed information about the cemeteries.
