Population
How many were they, and how long did they live?
What this measure says
These curves follow the writing of the registers as much as the lives of the people. They rise when a register opens and fall when it stops.
The 1700s bring together the most people: 862 leave at least one written trace there, a count of attested people, not a census.

Lives reconstructed end to end
348 people now carry the three deeds of a life, from baptism to marriage and on to death. 1,076 carry at least the first and the last: they are the ones that give a measured age, and their number rises with every wave of matching births to deaths.

- 1 to 4 years357
- 5 to 14 years260
- 15 to 29 years121
- 30 to 49 years61
- 50 to 69 years41
- 70 years and over26
76% of these lives end before fifteen. Reconstruction finds children first, whose baptism and burial sit in the same register: this curve says what it measures, not the life expectancy of a population.
What the priest wrote, as a check
The age of the dead is written 5,468 times out of 9,022; 4,726 of those entries can be read by our rule, the rest stay out of the measure. Where a reconstructed life and a written age meet, the two agree within five years in 176 cases out of 223. The gaps are not smoothed away: each one flags a match to review.
Lineages
263 lineages are reconstructed, the deepest across 7 generations of men.
