About education, I think you will notice what I have noticed - it depends on the family wealth.
That is at least until schooling became more enforced in the latter 1800s.

Also, the comments about educated vs. uneducated folks holds true with my family. At least seven and possibly all eight of my great grandparents were illiterate - couldn't sign their name. Three of my four grandparents were the same way. Without the ability to see what it is they were saying, it's no surprise that the spoken word would easily drift away from the written word. Speaking of education, are my illiterate ancestors typical of all the islanders? Are some of the islands more "educated" than others?
