Familias de migrantes en la zona rural de Molina de Seguraestrategias matrimoniales y comportamientos sociales (S. XVIII-XIX)

Resumen

Our work seeks to address a subject as complex and difficult to study as are migrations, especially rural migrations and the various social behaviors that they carry. When we look for the data of demographic growth, we forget that this growth carries with it the camouflage of other people that will thicken the demographics of these towns, villages or cities. Migratory dynamics is a conjugation of population movements that are sometimes seasonal and others are permanent. Being able to measure these movements as we can see is a complicated task because the migratory movements are difficult to analyze and more particularly in a few times like the old regime where only those individuals who were from other places were pointed, in Files such as hospitals, hospices, parishes etc, but were not counted and there were no censuses where these movements were recorded. It is in the parish archives where our work has been focused, the problem is that we do not have all the information for the problem that already have these files, so we will need the cross-linking of other documentary sources and Archivíst ICAS, and also another of the big problems of these files is that we have a lot of information but it is not classified. Our challenge has been to pass this nominal information to another numerical and therefore we have resorted to statistics, classifying data, significance and one consecutively through databases and Excel tables. To use this system is at the beginning expensive, laborious and very slow because we have to collect all the information and then pass it to numerical data, but once this is done we can access the data quickly and efficiently. The application of the statistical method and the use of concepts such as the categories, the codes of origin and the indices of origin of migration in our work has been crucial and through the study of the records of marriage applying is You method we can not only study the individual migration and family migration of the bride and groom but also the articulation and marital behavior in this rural society. We have to say that alone these records are not enough to be able to obtain all the information, because we have to contrast them and interlace them both between them as with other sources both archival and bibliographic, therefore another of our Challenges has been to interlace the different sources and information collected and thus to observe through the preparation of the different databases, how there is a marital behavior that is accompanied by parental relationships and affiliations. In these marriages we have found that strategies are established to maintain the heritage and status, no matter what we are talking about a rural society because there is also a social order that is articulated among individuals for their social preferences and convenience relationships.
