Objetiva caracterizar as escolhas matrimoniais da população porto-alegrense, durante o final do século XVIII e meados do século XIX. Por meio da análise quantitativa dos registros paroquiais de casamentos, verificaram-se aspectos significativos sobre as relações matrimoniais, tais como: sazonalidade do evento, índice de legitimidade dos nubentes, tipos de impedimentos matrimoniais, condição jurídica dos nubentes, etc.. Além disso, a partir do cruzamento nominativo de informações entre os registros paroquiais de casamento com os Autos de Justificativa Matrimoniais, procura-se qualificar a trajetória pré-nupcial de alguns nubentes. Finalmente, pretende-se, através do uso da Relação de Moradores de Porto Alegre, complementar o estudo referente às condições ocupacionais da localidade. De modo geral, o estudo visa compreender quem, quando, como e com quem a população porto-alegrense optava contrair matrimônio. / This study investigates the main features relating to the population who would marry at Nossa Senhora da Madre de Deus Parish in Porto Alegre, between 1772 and 1835. It aims to characterize the marital choices of the population in Porto Alegre, during the late eighteenth and mid nineteenth century. Through quantitative analysis of marriage records in the parish, there were significant aspects of marital relations, such as seasonal event, legitimacy of the betrothed rate, the kinds of obstructions to marriage, the legal status of spouses, etc. Moreover, from the crossing of verbal information, between the marriage records in the parish with the Wedding Reasoning Records, we seek to characterize the path of some pre-nuptial betrothed. In addition, it is intended, by using the Citizens of Porto Alegre Ratio, to complement the study related to occupational conditions of the locality. Overall, the study aims to understand who, when, how, and with whom the population of Porto Alegre opted to get married.

<p>The subject of this dissertation is to examine whether parallels of the notations of the Swedish parish records regarding popular education could be tracked down in Hungarian church records, as well as to examine to what extent such records may be utilised as sources for the study of the churches’ role in this education. As it is shown in the study, there are remarks in the Hungarian church record about the levels of knowledge of parishioners. On that basis the dissertation also includes an analysis of these remarks and a comparison with the results of the Swedish notations of similar kind. </p><p>The structure of popular education in Sweden and Hungary from the Reformation to the beginning of the 19th century is reviewed.</p><p>The research is centred around a selection of church archives documents: registries of souls and protocols of bishops’ inspections. In the village of Kóka, which is the main object of analysis, the registry of souls analysed is dated 1794. The aim of the analysis is to point out the educational role of the Catholic clergy. Regarding the adult population the proportion of those who have been confirmed can be stated, and the proportion of men and women among them. As the sacraments are consecutive and based upon each other, there are obvious parallels with the data included in the contemporary Swedish Lutheran parish examination records.</p><p>A particular Hungarian book dating back to the first half of the 19th century has also been found in Kóka. It resembles in its structure the registry of souls, while its contents yields notes to reading and writing skills. As the church registry record comprises the complete adult population of the village, the level of knowledge of elementary skills according to age groups is analysed and also the differences in levels of knowledge between men and women.
