Richard. New England mosaic: a demographic analysis for
the seventeenth century. William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 47, No.
4, Oct 1990. 477-502 pp. Williamsburg, Virginia. In Eng.
The author
presents a social and demographic analysis of historical New England in
the United States. "This investigation is based on records of 22,164
people who either migrated to New England before 1650 or were born
there between 1620 and 1649. The data come from James Savage's
Genealogical Dictionary of New England, supplemented, modified, and
corrected by genealogies and passenger lists...town, county, and colony
records, town and church histories, and firsthand accounts. The lives
collectively span the time between the 1560s and the 1740s." An
attempt is made to examine both the unique and the representative
populace of that time period.

Gerard. Mobile populations, stable communities: social
and demographic processes in the rural parishes of the Saguenay,
1840-1911. Continuity and Change, Vol. 6, No. 1, May 1991. 59-86
pp. Cambridge, England. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Spa.
"Our inquiry
focuses firstly on the population dynamics of a set of rural parishes
in a newly settled region [Saguenay, Canada]....[It] seeks to discern
new aspects of population turnover with regard to the model of a
persistent core as compared to moving margins. It also comments on the
social process of family reproduction that governed most of parish
population dynamics. In this paper, the concept of social or family
reproduction refers to the various ways and strategies worked out by
married couples in order to establish their grown-up children in an
occupation....Data from the BALSAC population database have been used
to study 13 rural parishes that had already reached the end of their
pioneer stage...between 1842 and 1891."
