This book, authored by Emilia de Zayas Puig and Beatriz Mir, offers a compelling case study into genealogical exploration within Catalonia, focusing on the province of Tarragona. Inspired by research on the ancestors of Enrique Puig, the grandfather of the first author, born in 1899 in Barcelona, the book delves into numerous ancestral lineages of the region.
Of importance to genealogists anywhere are syntheses on relevant topics such as occupations, naming conventions, marriage practices, fertility, infant mortality, life expectancy, and use of notarial documents.

Included in the book are sample documents and suggestions on how to resolve the issues raised by inconsistent findings. Consequently, the lessons gleaned from this work hold relevance for genealogical endeavors beyond Tarragona so that we highly recommend this book to anyone engaged in genealogical research.
