GALLARDO-HURTADO, Georgina Yólotl  and  OSORNIO-GARCIA, Lizbeth Margarita. The parochial archives of Village of Toluca, 1684-1760. Pap. poblac [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.60, pp.215-243. ISSN 2448-7147.

As of 1684 there are registrations of casualties in the parish of Sagrario or San José of the city of Toluca, of baptisms as of 1642 and marriages as of 1666. The information is divided on the basis of castes. The objective of this work is to carry out an analysis of some of the demographic characteristics of the population of the Village of Toluca, specially mortality and fertility for the period from 1684 to 1760. Even though several problems were faced due to the quality or lack of information along the period, estimators were obtained, namely: crude death rate, infant mortality rate and crude birth rate, some per caste, so they can be compared, mainly for the times of epidemics.

Keywords : historic demography; mortality; fertility; Toluca.
