For those interested in historical evidence the Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) drawn from the U.S. decennial censuses present attractive resources and among their most appealing aspects is the opportunity they offer for comparative analyses across time. In this article we focus on just this appeal: comparative use of the 1940 and 1950 PUMS....We review critically the original censuses and the samples taken from them in an effort to provide a `users guide for researchers. We identify some of the more salient features of the original 1940 and 1950 censuses describe how sampling teams drew the PUMS data sets from them and then discuss the consequences of both the original and subsequent sampling designs.

This article describes a new sample of 4938 males linked from the new [U.S.] Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) of the 1850 federal census of population to the manuscript schedules of the 1860 federal census of population....After reviewing the existing work on individuals linked across the 1850s I describe the collection of the new sample in detail. I then use these data to examine the geographic mobility of the population (in particular movement to the western frontier). The Appendix contains new life tables for the 1850s--based on manuscript data from the mortality schedules of the 1850 census--that were used to estimate how many survivors could be expected between 1850 and 1860 in the linkage process.

A major controversy regarding fertility transitions in historical populations concerns whether the process consisted mainly of the diffusion of an innovation in stopping behavior termination of childbearing before the end of the reproductive lifespan or an adaptation to a new social and economic climate through more extensive spacing behavior deliberate prolongation of the intervals between births. The relative importance of stopping and spacing behaviors in fertility transitions also has implications for the general understanding of the way fertility-control decisions are made. This paper uses simulation methods to examine the ability of summary measures such as mean age at last birth and mean birth intervals to distinguish between the influence of increased stopping and spacing behaviors in fertility transitions. The author finds that while increases in some forms of spacing behavior do have a nonneglible negative impact upon mean age at last birth so that modest reductions in age last birth cannot on their own be used as conclusive evidence of increases in stopping behavior a technique such as McDonalds used together with changes in mean age at last birth can clearly differentiate between spacing behavior and stopping behavior. She also investigates the small-sample properties of mean age at last birth and finds that observed differences in mean age at last birth which are on the order of one or two years are unlikely to be due solely to the random variation which recurs in the small samples typically found in family reconstitution studies. The author found in subsequent analysis that examining changes in the pattern of increase of mean age at last birth with age at marriage is a more powerful way of distinguishing stopping from spacing than is examining changes in the overall mean age at last birth. Finally the author found that changes in the means of interbirth intervals prior to the last closed interval stratified by final parity are good diagnostic tools for distinguishing between stopping and spacing even when stopping behavior is less than 100% effective.

This article argues that the accepted view of the mortality of enslaved Africans in the United States rests on fragile estimates; these estimates are not robust to flaws in the data....We examine the sensitivity of previous life table estimates for the African population of the United States to assumptions about the data. We combine modern demographic techniques and new model life tables--the Liberian model life tables--developed for the study of historical mortality....We focus our attention on two periods: 1850 to 1860 and 1860 to 1870. These periods cover the two major events that could have had an impact on the data namely the illegal slave trade and the American Civil War. (EXCERPT)

It was our purpose to show how the seasonality of baptisms can be employed to assess the speed with which holy days disappeared in early modern England. In a case study of Ludlow Shropshire it was demonstrated that old Catholic holy days exercised a strong but slowly declining influence on the timing of conceptions before outbreak of the Civil War. After the Restoration no connection between the seasonality of conceptions and old feast days can be discerned. These findings lend support to De Vriess hypothesis that labor input in the English economy between 1500 and 1700 must have increased very considerably. (EXCERPT)
