    Abstract We use a set of linked reproductive histories taken from Sweden, the Netherlands, and Spain for the period 1871-1960 to address key issues regarding how reproductive change was linked specifically to mortality and survivorship and more generally to individual agency. Using event-history analysis, this study investigates how the propensity to have additional children was influenced by the number of surviving offspring when reproductive decisions were made. The results suggest that couples were continuously regulating their fertility to achieve reproductive goals. Families experiencing child fatalities show significant increases in the hazard of additional births. In addition, the sex composition of the surviving sibset also appears to have influenced reproductive decisions in a significant but changing way. The findings offer strong proof of active decision-making during the demographic transition and provide an important contribution to the literature on the role of mortality for reproductive change.

    Abstract In this paper intergenerational dimensions of reproductive behavior are studied within the context of the experience of a mid-sized Spanish town just before and during the demographic transition. Different indicators of reproduction are used in bivariate and multivariate approaches. Fertility shows a small, often statistically significant intergenerational dimension, with stronger effects working through women and their mothers than those stemming from the families of their husbands. These effects are materialized mainly through duration-related fertility variables, are singularly absent for variables such as age at first birth or birth intervals, and are much stronger in the case of firstborn daughters than with later siblings. There is a substantial increase in the strength of intergenerational effects during the course of the demographic transition, most visible in age at last birth and duration of reproduction (between women and their mothers), as well as in the effects working through the families of their husbands. These results underscore the on-going importance of biological dimensions of reproduction as well as the way attitudes toward reproduction are taught within the family. The changes identified in this study suggest that the transmission of values and attitudes became more important for reproductive outcomes during this period of demographic modernization.

  6. Article: Factors related to inbreeding components from isonymy in an urban population: Aranjuez (Spain).

    Abstract An isonymic analysis has been carried out using a sample of 1529 reconstituted families residing during 1870-1964 in Aranjuez, an urban area situated south of Madrid, Spain. The random, non-random and total-components inbreeding coefficients from isonymy were obtained and the various combinations of surnames compared in order to infer the patri- or matrilocal pattern of residence. Throughout the period studied the random component of inbreeding (F(r)) has not changed, in contrast to the non-random component (F(n)), thus suggesting the latter could be responsible for the reduction of total inbreeding. Using several methodological approaches (biplot analysis, alpha, nu and percentage of immigrants) the predominance of the immigration of grooms was interpreted in terms of Aranjuez as a matrilocal pattern of residence. From this study it can also be concluded that surnames provided by reconstituted families are good estimators of inbreeding and migration.

    Abstract Usando una base de datos constituida por una muestra de 1529 familias reconstituidas residentes durante 1870-1964 en Aranjuez (España), se realizó un análisis de isonimia. Los componentes aleatorios, no aleatorios y total de la consanguinidad se obtuvieron mediante isonimia, y diferentes combinaciones de apellidos se compararon a fines de inferir los patrones patri y matrilocales de residencia. Durante el período estudiado el componente aleatorio de consanguinidad (Fr) no se modificó, en contraste con el componente no aleatorio (Fn), sugiriendo que éste puede ser responsable del cambio en la consanguinidad. Usando distinta metodología (biplot, α, γ, y porcentajes de inmigrantes) la predominancia de inmigración de novios se interpretó como un predominio de matrilocalidad en Aranjuez. También se concluye que los apellidos obtenidos de reconstituciones familiares son buenos estimadores de consanguinidad y migración.
