This paper reports the data for endogamy, exogamy and consanguinity in 20 Sardinian villages from 1800 to 1974, divided into generational periods (25 years). The data are taken from the records of 48,262 marriages celebrated in the parishes of 20 Sardinian villages. The results for Spearman's rank correlation coefficient indicate significant positive correlations of endogamy with consanguinity (r(s) = 0.6551, percentage of consanguineous marriages; r(s) = 0.5477, Bernstein's alpha), with altitude (r(s) = 0.6386), with population size (r(s) = 0.2519), as well as a significant negative correlation of endogamy with time (r(s) = -0.4210). In addition, consanguinity shows a significant positive correlation with altitude (r(s) = 0.5717, percentage of consanguineous marriages; r(s) = 0.6295, Bernstein's alpha) and a significant negative correlation with time (r(s) = -0.2363, percentage of consanguineous marriages); the negative correlation between the mean level of consanguinity (alpha) and time is statistically not significant. In the single parishes, the levels of endogamy and consanguinity are generally higher in the mountain villages than in those situated in the hill and plain areas. Finally, it is hypothesized that, in the time period considered, the level of consanguinity and especially of endogamy were largely determined by isolation.
