In 1910 Beregdéda has got 896 Hungarian and 2 other inhabitants,
Mezohomok has got 252 Hungarian and 8 Ruthenian inhabitants. I
think Slovakians settled to the village in 1920-1939.. but the

Beregdéda was the tenure of Erzsébet Szilágyi mother of King
Mathias (1458-1490), later tenure of János Korvin son of King
Mathias. The people of Déda is Calvinist - the fourth field of
the CoA relates to them. (The CoA of the Hungarian Calvinist
