Abstract
A sample of ten villages (mostly Indian) of the 1813 census has been used. The results are compared to those of the same type of document (nominal lists) for Guatemala City in 1824. The sex ratio is very low for men 15-24 years old. This is due to a strong emigration of young girls towards cities. Almost ail the Indians under age 50 are married but celibacy runs high among Spanish and mestizo maies (13 % above 50). Age at marriage is a little higher for Spaniards and mestizos. The age structure shows that young children are underenumerated. However, fertility when estimated with the ratio-children aged 0-4/women aged 15-49 is higher than that of the 18th century France.
