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)

Mortality trends by region for Spain in the nineteenth century are examined. The data are from those collected during the 1860s by the Instituto Geografico y Estadistico and the Coale-Demeny model life tables are used. Findings concerning regional trends in infant mortality male and female mortality life expectancy at birth and at age 11 and survivors by age and region are provided in tabular form. (ANNOTATION)

Methodological problems concerning the study of cause of death in historical populations are examined using data from nineteenth-century Germany. The main concern is how to reconcile data when different cause of death classifications were used by state and national statistical offices either simultaneously or sequentially. The unified scheme proposed is based on broad cause of death groups developed by Samuel H. Preston which are distinct and mutually exclusive on epidemiological grounds. (ANNOTATION)

S. Ruggles
The author "proposes a strategy for estimating the influence of demographic factors on the frequency of extended families and applies this strategy to the demographic experience of the West during the past two centuries." A simulation model previously developed by the author is used to estimate the availability of kin under certain demographic conditions and to calculate residential propensities. A standard propensities approach to analyzing the interaction of demography and family structure is described. The geographic focus is on the United States and England. The author concludes that "the demographic conditions prevailing since the end of the nineteenth century have been highly favorable to the formation of extended families. By contrast the frequency of available extended kin was substantially lower in pre-industrial England. We may be fairly confident that demographic change was a necessary condition for the rise of the extended family in the nineteenth century." (EXCERPT)

Estimates of adult mortality are presented for England and Wales during the nineteenth century using an indirect estimation procedure developed by S. H. Preston and N. G. Bennett which involves the use of census data. These estimates are compared with estimates based on vital statistics data. The results of these and other estimates all suggest a life expectancy of about 40 years of age in the 1830s and 1840s. (ANNOTATION)

The object of this paper is to estimate levels of life expectancy in Spain during the second half of the eighteenth century. The author uses a method developed by S. H. Preston and N. G. Bennett that permits estimation of life expectancies using information on the age distribution at two points in time plus age-specific growth rates between those points. The data are from the censuses of 1768 1787 and 1797. Comparisons are made with estimates derived from quasi-stable population theory. (EXCERPT)

Data from the Mormon Historical Demography Project are evaluated and used to analyze infant mortality in Utah in the mid-nineteenth century. The authors "describe the population under observation evaluate the quality of the genealogical records present infant mortality estimates for birth cohorts in the years 1850-1919 and assess the social-historical and epidemiological conditions that helped shape these patterns." Possible underreporting and potential sources of bias in the genealogical data base are assessed and the pattern of decline in infant mortality and contributing factors are discussed. The findings show that "an incipient decline in infant mortality appeared within both core and periphery areas as early as the cohort of the 1870s though a truly secular decline did not take place until the early 1890s."
