Ciframajor was founded by Ignác Kiss of Taródháza. Although he reportedly lived a rather extravagant lifestyle, he nevertheless laid the foundations of a well-functioning agricultural estate. After Ignác Kiss, the manor passed to the husband of his daughter, Terézia Kiss — Antal Inkey — and after his death it came into the possession of her second husband, István Majthényi. Their daughter, Eszter Majthényi, brought Ciframajor into the holdings of Antal Forgách as part of her dowry. Later, Antal Freystädtler purchased the estate, and together with his son Jenő they developed it to such an extent that by around 1900 it rivalled the Village Manor as one of the strongest agricultural enterprises in Szigliget.
Despite this, the first parish record connected to the manor dates only from 1864, referring to Pál Pintér, who worked there as a shepherd, as did Ferenc Cser (1867), János Csali (1868) and József Nagy (1874). Estate stewards (kasznár) included József Gruber (1868), János Bata (1873), Ferenc Talabér (1876) and Imre Menczeli (1881), while János Fülöp worked as a coachman. The pigs were tended by János Szép (1873), and the cattle by István Nyers (1881). Mária Pintér (1882) appears in the records as a servant maid. Mihály Németh (1884) worked as a farm manager, probably in a supervisory role — he was not identical with the namesake previously mentioned at Kongó Manor. Ciframajor also had its own estate guard: József Csatovics (1888), born in Felsőperesznye, fulfilled this position.
Let us now turn to the workers of the Village Manor. János Szívós (1861) was probably the estate steward of this unit. Terézia Sóstai (1868) worked there as a servant, József Varga (1869) as a wheelwright, Pál Ferenczi (1870) as a coachman, and Flórián Németh (1874) as a swineherd.
For the majority of the individuals listed in the parish records, however, the exact estate where they worked was not specified. Therefore, they can only be listed by name, with their occupation in parentheses, and — if they did not live in the Old Village or in estate housing — their place of residence as well.
