This paper is a brief introduction to the Public Use Sample (PUS) from the 1910 United States Census of Population that was created at the University of Pennsylvania and recently released to the public. It contains a 1-in-250 sample of the total population included in the census producing a total of 88814 households and 366239 individuals. The 1910 PUS is available in machine-readable form from the ICPSR at the University of Michigan. (EXCERPT)

This paper focuses on the present methodology of computerized population registers and on the possible next generation of such systems. For these registers to survive their founders and serve multiple purposes they must be designed as evolving (as opposed to static) entities; the central element of such an approach would be a dynamic updating facility. In our view this poses a major challenge to both demographers and computer scientists. The paper is based on experience with the reconstitution of the Quebec population from 1608-1760 which was undertaken by the Research Program in Historical Demography at the University of Montreal.

This paper [examines] the marital and fertility experience of women born between 1800 and 1899 who participated in the settlement colonization and development of a region that marked one of the last frontier settlements in [U.S.] history. The focus is on the effects of different marriage patterns particularly polygyny on fertility. "In conclusion cumulative fertility behavior within periods of exposure was found to be similar across substantial variations in both marital histories and arrangements." (EXCERPT)

The authors describe computer programs that deal with the statistical analysis of family reconstitution data. They "have used a general statistical package Statistical Analysis System (SAS) which is widely available. It has been possible to produce all the standard tables used in the classic monographs in historical demography and to retain the flexibility and power of a general statistical package....The SAS programs presented here were developed in 1983 at the University of Texas at Austin and were tested and employed at the University of Liege (Belgium). The programs were applied to more than 3600 reconstituted families from nineteenth-century Eastern Belgium with great success." (EXCERPT)
