Research paper abstract!!

Patterns for the demographic study of one population: Vilanova de la Muga during the years 1796-1806 and 1864-1875.

This research project deals with the study of the demographic features in a little town called Vilanova de la Muga. Doing this work I want to know the behaviour of the demographic variables in these two time periods.

I have researched the parish registers to establish the resulting features. We can find these documents in the Diocesan Archive of Girona and on the website Family Search. In particular I have worked with this website: www.familysearch.com. Of course this research project is divided in a theoretical and a practical part.

The first one consists of the origin of these registers and the Concilian of Trento. Moreover I have contextualized the political, demographic and the socioeconomic situation of our continent, Spain and Catalonia to know and compare if what occur in this places happen in this village.

The practical part consists of the research of these registers and then their respective graphs, trying to interpret the results.
