MOREIRA, Fernando. The liberal dynasties: Family and kinship relations between members of parliament during the period of constitutional monarchy (1834-1910) . Anál. Social [online]. 2006, n.178, pp.125-143. ISSN 0003-2573.

The publication of the Dictionary of Parliamentary Biography (Dicionário Biográfico Parlamentar) from 1834 to 1910 revealed the significance of kinship and family ties between deputies (members of the lower house), senators and peers of the realm. From a total of 2070 biographies there are 928 members of parliament (44,83%) who had ties with at least one other member. These kinship ties were of all types: fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, great-great-grandfathers, sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, brothers, uncles, great-uncles, brothers-in-law, nephews, great-nephews, cousins, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law and stepsons, godfathers, godsons and fellowgodfathers.

Keywords : Parlamento português 1834-1910; Liberalismo; Monarquia constitucional; Portugal séc. XIX-XX.
