Example of peasant movement and relocation

Fortunately for research, our peasant ancestors did not move around much.  Of course, it's always a good idea to look in neighboring villages and parishes for missing relatives.  However, once in a while you can come across someone moving into the village from far away. 

Here's an example of someone from Western Galicia marrying someone from Eastern Galicia, about 90 miles away.
