“…Assim, as pessoas com mais probabilidade de casarem dentro da comunidade dos pais eram os filhos de agricultores e pequenos produtores (WALL, 1996;RABINO-MASSA, 2005apud FORNASIN, 2011. Dessa forma, "a combinação desses fatores econômicos, sociais e culturais tem importantes consequências de uma natureza biodemográfica".…”

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar o movimento de grupos de imigrantes italianos (friulanos) e seus descendentes entre a Itália e países da América do Sul (Brasil e Argentina), entre os séculos XIX e XX. Para isso, utilizamos a reconstrução de genealogias e redes parentais de determinadas famílias que se encontravam em diferentes lugares, a partir dos contatos e vínculos existentes entre elas. Os sobrenomes são usados como fios condutores para reconstruir os percursos familiares de imigrantes originários do Friuli, norte da península itálica, que, em 1880, estabeleceram-se no Rio Grande do Sul. Os deslocamentos deram vida a uma complexa teia parental composta por camponeses e artesãos que se expandiu até Mar del Plata (Argentina). Utilizaremos como fontes cartas, registros paroquiais e cartoriais, cartões postais e álbuns de famílias. A análise de tais documentos será conduzida pela metodologia da micro-história italiana, que toma o método onomástico e o estudo de experiências particulares como fios condutores para compreensão de processos históricos mais gerais.

“…People in occupations strongly rooted to the local area naturally travelled less than those who worked in more than one location and had to move around on a regular basis. In fact, employment in commerce or transport, associated with high mobility, results in more exogamic marriages, and correspondingly those most likely to wed within their parents' community are the children of farmers and smallholders (Wall, 1996;Rabino-Massa et al, 2005).…”

The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of individuals who formed exogamic marriages in the Friuli region (north-east Italy) during the second half of the 19th century. Logistic regression models were devised to measure the influence of the determinants of exogamic marriage, taking into account not only variables related to context but also spouses' economic, social and cultural characteristics. The determinants of exogamic marriage differ for men and women, and also vary by region due to differences in geographical mobility and size of the marriage market. The majority of exogamic spouses belong to one of two categories: either older individuals, often, especially in the case of men, with a previous marriage; or the upper social classes.

“…Geneticists and biologists have been mainly interested in consanguineous marriages. They have focused mostly on isolates and mountain populations, and in order to study the frequency of kin marriages, they have made use of so-called dispensation registers or have applied methods of isonymy (Abelson, 1978;Boëtsch et al, 2002;Pettener, 1985;Rabino-Massa et al, 2005). Although historians and anthropologists have dealt both with unions between blood and affinal kin, their in-depth studies were mostly based on family reconstitutions and were for that reason small-scale by necessity as well.…”

This article investigates the determinants of kin marriage on the basis of a large-scale database covering a major rural part of The Netherlands during the period 1840-1922. We studied three types of kin marriage: first cousin marriage, deceased spouse's sibling marriage, and sibling set exchange marriage. Almost 2% of all marriages were between first cousins, 0.85% concerned the sibling of a former spouse, while 4.14% were sibling set exchange marriages. While the first two types generally declined across the study period, sibling set exchange marriage reached a high point of almost 5% between 1890 and 1900. We found evidence for three mechanisms explaining the choice for relatives as spouses, centering both on preferences and on opportunities for kin marriage. Among the higher and middle strata and among farmers, kin marriages were commonly practiced and played an important role in the process of social class formation in the late nineteenth century. An increased choice for cousin marriage as a means of enculturation was observed among orthodox Protestants in the Bible Belt area of The Netherlands. Finally, all studied types of kin marriage took place more often in the relatively isolated, inland provinces of The Netherlands. Sibling set exchange marriages were a consequence of the enlarged supply of same-generation kin as a result of the demographic transition.
