	Jorge Fernandes Alves

	Abstract An important migratory stream from Oporto to Brasil in the 19th century and it never has been object of an historical and social analysis. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the stream in its persistence and characteristics, on the one hand, and to study the impact on the return, on the other, paying atention in the sending society, at the regional level. In this way, we try to describe the regional relations with Brasil, in a historical perspective, and to interpret the effects of migration on family structure, discussing the role of social reproduction in this context. We confront the familiar and individual decision.making with the formulation and the application of emigration policy. We define the statical configurations of legal migratory flow (1836-1879), drawing the evolution of the most important characteristics (rates, sex, marital status, age, ocupation, regioanl distribution, illiteracy), according to passport registers (about 120.000). Finally we discuss the role of the «brasileiro» and characterize his profile, according a statistical and limited source. We try calculate the level of remigration. Using qualitative methods versus a biography file, we describe the meaning, modalities and consequences of the return and the problems created to the «brasileiros» by their reintegration
