The different hereditary models help to understand the different demographic models. In this case, the resource analyses the North Atlantic model through the parish of San Martín in Caldelas (Galicia). In the 18th century, in the low-Miñoto model, we do not find a first-born son empowered through inheritance, but a distribution of improvements that affects women more than men. The author highlights a distribution close to hereditary egalitarianism only modelled by small paternal compensations given in exchange for services rendered and to be rendered (38% of the cases) or foundation masses (33%). Consequently, family, social and demographic dynamics (such as migratory movements) favoured radical egalitarianism in the transmission of property.
