## About & Sources

### About this collection

This collection indexes the people and family relationships described in *Las familias de Bayamo, 1512–1775*. It records names, stated kinship, life events and demographic details such as birth, baptism, marriage, death, place and occupation when the source gives them. Significant genealogical context is kept in notes. Every record cites the one-based page number of the supplied PDF (`PDF 1`, `PDF 2`, and so on), so the statement can be checked in context.

The 10,005 evidence entries are person mentions, not a count of distinct historical people. Verified duplicate mentions share one indexed identity while their original evidence records and page citations remain available. Uncertain matches remain separate pending review.

The source scan is not hosted in this collection. The searchable entries are an OCR- and AI-assisted derivative index created from the supplied scan. Datalab transcribed the complete PDF directly, without page cropping. OpenAI GPT-5.4 mini extracted each page while carrying the preceding and following page as context; evidence was then reconciled against the OCR pages. A later source review identified duplicate identities and corrections to relationships and page citations. The first verified corrections have been applied; further proposals remain under review.

### Review notes

The source review covered all 158 PDF pages. It does not establish that every identity, relationship or name split is correct. Unresolved transcriptions and identity matches remain under review. Treat the index as a research aid and verify important claims against the cited source page.
