Summary/Abstract: The article presents deaths in the Rzeszów parish between the years 1876–1913, based on the parish register. Attention was paid to facts, which could confirm (or deny) the process of the first demographic transition. This took place in Galicja at the turn of the 20th century and was marked by a decrease in death intensity, a subsequent increase in birth rate followed by temporary high population growth, only to establish a low, stable level in the final phase. The analysis takes into account the population of the parish, the number of deaths, death rate, stillbirths, structure of deaths according to sex, age and causes of death, along with the average age of the deceased. Statistical methods were used.
