"This article introduces a source that provides
extraordinarily detailed information on the lives of over 1 million
Germans during the second half of the nineteenth century. This source
[is] the Munich city police registration system (hereafter referred to
as the Polizeimeldebogen or PMBs)....Our interest in the PMBs stems
from their usefulness in studying the fertility transition in Germany
during the late nineteenth century." In addition to fertility, the
authors trace migration patterns, marriage age trends and spouse
characteristics, and occupational and status mobility
trends.

population in 1598. [Vie et patrimoine dans les Andes: la
population quirua en 1598.] Annales de Demographie Historique, 1992.

"The author
analyses the revisita of the Quiruas of Uyuni, a colonial fiscal
document dating from 1598 concerning what is today the La Paz
department of Bolivia. Two problems are examined: 1) The fact that
the revisita took up the logic notation present in previous documents,
which are, in order: the first census of Peru's colonial population,
the Visita General del Virrey Toledo (1570-1575); and the khipus, which
are a mnenonic system made of knots originally from the Andes. 2) A
general reconstruction of the Quirua population by means of a
life-course approach allows an examination of the individual
characteristics as related to the position in the household and to the
fiscal obligations. The result is that economic capacity to support
this fiscal burden varies considerably with fiscal-age and
productivity."
