One of the fields in which the closest interpersonal relationships could be define along the early modern age, in Portugal, is that of kinship systems. Two interpretations of the kinship system were used and one was, from the standpoint of the church, binding. This led to the establishment of certain behaviors and of an activity of identifying and storing of personal and family data. The system and its implementation led to the production of bans and limitations of choices in the lives of many people with regard to moments such as marriage, christenings, etc. From the systematic study of cases in which exceptional circumstances were invoked it will be possible to try to assess the real importance of the system efficiency.
