S. Ruggles
The author discusses problems involved in modeling the effects of demographic factors on historical kinship patterns with a focus on microsimulation models. "Since microsimulations of kinship ignore the correlations in demographic behavior within kin groups they ordinarily understate the variance of kinship distributions; for many kin types they also underestimate the expected number of kin." The author concludes that "those who design demographic models of kinship should be sensitive to the potential for systematic error." (EXCERPT)

S. Rogers
The author presents a case study of a French community "in which there exists a convenient fit between the manner in which data are organized in the national census on one hand and local notions about how families and households should be organized on the other. This means that data series from the census can in fact yield a revealing picture of patterns of change over time in...family organization....Although the French census has certainly not been designed specifically to accommodate the premises of [the towns] family organization it nonetheless happens to do so. This suggests that the census structure and family structure are sometimes related such that the one is a demonstrably satisfactory source of information about experience within the other even when each is premised on rather different ideas about family organization."

M. Sobek
In this article I will examine the possibilities for a Marxist analysis of class through the use of the information available in the various U.S. census public use samples....The public use samples are machine-readable individual- and household-level microdata samples entered from the original census manuscripts....Public use samples of varying densities exist for 1880 1900 1910 1940 1950 1960 1970 and 1980. The author concludes that the census data are useful but that "the social scientific mapping of classes explains nothing until we can make connections to the other levels of class formation. The public use samples need to be used to help us understand the historical context within which the process of class formation has taken place. By applying the public use samples we can attempt to compare the relative influences of class gender and race over time." (EXCERPT)

The author describes the use of computer map-making programs to develop contour maps illustrating demographic and economic data. Data concerning rural industrialization and the population shifts that occurred with the expansion of the silk industry in the French province of Isere in the late nineteenth century are used to demonstrate the process. Some of the values and limitations of computer mapping are considered; and suggestions for other applications are included. (ANNOTATION)

Generalized inverse projection is able to produce estimates of the population sizes age distributions and vital rates derived from vital-event series of births and deaths and a terminal age distribution. This paper discusses some of the results obtained from the application of this method to the population of the town of Lucerne Switzerland from 1700 to 1930. It might also contribute to the discussion of the role that generalized inverse projection could play in the study of urban population development. (EXCERPT)

Problems associated with the application of statistical methods and model building to the analysis of historical demographic data are examined with particular reference to data from population registers. "The object of this paper is to present a set of statistical models--generally termed event-history or proportional-hazards models--that not only deal effectively with the kind of data that the population registers make available but for which the population registers are one of the best existing data sets." The models are tested using data from Japanese population registers. (EXCERPT)

The author uses an article by Steven Ruggles on aspects of family demography to examine two broad questions. One concerns the relatively small overlap between demography and family history. The other addresses the potential that demography has to offer family historians. She concludes that the conceptual differences between family history and family demography limit the applicability of demographic methods for the study of family history. (ANNOTATION)
