Figure 1.--Here is the Britez family in Itá, Paraguay. It looks to depict a father with his children. However there is an age gap between the five children and the young woman. So she could be a youthful mother. The five children were all born closely to one another. This looks like a mestizo family.

Our Paraguayan archive is very small. Thus we do not yet have much information on Paraguayan families. Parguay is one of the Latin american countries with the Largest portion of Native Americans, in part like neighboring Bolivia, in the remote heart of south america. Paraguay is a multi-ethnic country with both Spanish and Native American families (primarily Guaraní). There is also a substantial mestizo population. All of this affects affects Paraguayan family life. We have Spanish (European, Native American, and mestizo families. And of course there were graditions between these groups. We are just beginning to acquire information on families at this time.
