Sažetak
Based on the archival sources – registers of marriages in the parish of St Tryphon from the eighteenth century – the author describes and analyzes migrations of spouses from Dalmatia to Cattaro (Kotor). The author has analyzed, as much as preserved sources allowed, the number, sex, place of origin, and migration areal of spouses. Moreover, the author examines the system of selection of marital partners and their integration within the social life of Cattaro. All these factors are investigated in the context of migrations within the Venetian realm and, at the same time, according to the groups defined according to the theory of intercultural migrations. Analysis of the registry of marriages revealed different patterns and trends between male and female spouses from Dalmatia. Namely, the marriage circle of male spouses was geographically rather narrowed, and they mostly married women who originated from the eastern Adriatic coast (including the region of Boka kotorska). On the other hand, women could pick their partners even from the remote regions of the Venetian realm. Part of these investigated migrations is connected with migrations of armies, in which women – as logistic support – had a distinguished role.
