Federal Dependencies, Venezuela Genealogy

Venezuela ► Federal Dependency


 * "The Federal Dependencies of Venezuela encompass most of Venezuela's off shore islands in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Venezuela, excluding those islands which form the State of Nueva Esparta. These islands, with a total area of 342 square kilometres, are sparsely populated - according to the preliminary results of the 2011 Census only 2,155 people live there permanently, with another hundred from Isla Margarita who live there seasonally to engage in fishing. "


 * "The federal dependencies are composed of 600 islands and smaller formations; many have an area of less than 10,000 square metres and are essentially simple rocks. The largest island, La Tortuga, accounts for almost half of the territory of the federal dependencies." -- Wikipedia
