Abstract(s)

During the 1992 Scientific Expedition to São Jorge, parish registers were consulted referring to some villages of the district of Velas, according to the following described: Baptisms (1875-1900)- Variables include date of birth, place of birth, legitimacy/illegitimacy (Velas; Santo Amaro). Marriages (1876-l900)- Variables include place of birth of the couple, residency, age, marital status, occupation and consanguinity (Urzelina-146; Velas-279; Santo Amaro-148; Norte Grande-290; Manadas-136). Deaths (1876-1900)- Variables include date of burial, sex, age, marital status and legitimacy (Santo Amaro; Velas). For purposes of this report, only data referring to the baptisms were dealt with, giving particular emphasize to the variable of illegitimacy.
