 According to Archbishop Marco Bandini's report of the canonical visitation of 1646, the "şoltuz" in Bacău was elected among Hungarians one year, and another, among Romanians.The names of most of 12 inhabitants of the town recorded in 1655 also indicate that Hungarians still formed their majority group.In 1670 Archbishop Petrus Parcevic, the apostolic vicar of Moldavia concluded an agreement with the head of the Franciscan Province of Transylvania on the return of the Bacău monastery to them in order to ensure the spiritual welfare of the local Hungarian community.
