Pinkamindszent, Vas, Hungary (not in Burgenland)

The village, along the Pinka brook, was first mentioned in 1221. Then already, the village had a church named for all saints ("mind-szent") which gave the village its name. Today's church furnishings are from the Baroque period.

The population, nearly 800 at the start of this century, has diminished to 183. The reason for the decline was the isolation of the village due to the nearness of the frontier (adjoins Moschendorf, Burgenland but no national border crossing nearer than Heiligenkreuz).

Catholic church built 1790 on site of much older church. Had population of 634, 111 houses.FamilySearch microfilm number 0601475.
