Fertility Change on the American Frontier
The Utah Population Database. A Model for Linking Medical and Genealogical Records for Population Health Research
Improving our understanding of the socio-environmental and genetic bases of disease and health outcomes among individuals, families, and populations over time requires extensive longitudinal data on multiple attributes for entire communities, states or nations. This requirement can be difficult to achieve. In this paper we describe a successful example of a database that meets these needs. The Utah Population Database (UPDB) is a unique and power…
The Utah Population Database. The Legacy of Four Decades of Demographic Research
This paper summarizes the unique characteristics of the Utah Population Database (UPDB) and how it has catalyzed demographic, social and medical research since the mid-1970s. The UPDB is one of the world’s richest sources of linked population-based information for demographic, genetic, and epidemiological studies at the Individual-level. UPDB has supported hundreds of demographic and biomedical investigations, with heavy emphasis on families, in …

Are Girls Good and Boys Bad for Parental Longevity
Adult mortality risks and religious affiliation
L'objectif de l'article est de preciser comment l'appartenance religieuse modifie le risque de deces. La base de donnees de la population de l'Utah est ici utilisee afin d'etudier la mortalite generale d'un echantillon d'hommes et de femmes maries qui ont survecu a leur quarantieme anniversaire. Les individus appartiennent aux generations 1850-1919, ils sont suivis pendant toute leur vie et se situent a l'epoque de la transition demographique. Le…
Fertility and post-reproductive longevity
We examine the effects of reproduction on longevity among mothers and fathers after age 60. This study is motivated by evolutionary theories of aging and theories predicting social benefits and costs of children to older parents. We use the Utah Population Database, that includes a large genealogical database from the Utah Family History Library. Cox proportional hazard models based on 13,987 couples married between 1860-1899 indicate that women …
Historical trends of survival among widows and widowers
High-Risk Childbearing
Historical analyses of demographic phenomena from the past few decades have provided new insights requiring the reassessment of a number of traditional paradigms, such as the venerable demographic transition theory. Fertility studies have dominated this research, but there is a growing interest in the interrelationships of several demographic variables, such as family formation and infant mortality (Knodel and Hermalin 1984; Nault et al. 1990; Po…

Fertility Change on the American Frontier
The authors analyze fertility changes in the population that colonized the western American frontier in the last half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. The data are from a set of 185000 family records concerning women born between 1800 and 1899 created from the database of the Genealogical Society of Utah. The first part of the book examines theoretical concepts and the strengths and limitations of the Mormon Historical D…

Fertility Change on the American Frontier. Adaptation and Innovation
Fertility Change on the American Frontier
With findings that challenge conventional wisdom, Fertility Change on the American Frontier will interest demographers, sociologists, and historians. Examining the marriage and childbearing behavior of one predominantly L.D.S. (Mormon) population, the book calls into question traditional concepts and methods used to study high fertility populations. Mormons were responsible for the settlement, colonization, and development of one of America's las…
Description and Evaluation of Linkage of the 1880 Census to Family Genealogies
In this article we summarize the methods and present the initial results from a linkage of [U.S.] genealogical records from the Mormon Historical Demography Project (MHDP) to records from the 1880 Manuscript Census of Utah Territory. Our primary objective is to recount the linkage methods involved and to evaluate the representativeness of the genealogical records as reflected in the correspondence between longitudinal and census data. The data se…
Migration and Fertility
This study focuses on the relationship between fertility and migration in families settling the Utah Territory. Genealogical data are used to identify the timing of migration (i.e., after, during, or before childbearing) and country of originfor migrants; and to analyze both fer tility levels for different types of migrants and the changes in fertility behavior associated with these levels. The highest fertility levels are among adults who migrat…
The Fertility Effects of Marriage Patterns in a Frontier American Population
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 va…
Intergenerational transmission of relative fertility and life course patterns
The direct relationship between fertility and fertility behavior of mothers and daughters was examined. It was hypothesized that the relative propensity to control family sizes in 1 generation is transmitted to the following generation and that transmission of fertility levels across generations is in part a result of the transmission of specific fertility-determining life-course behaviors across generations. The data were derived from the Mormon…
The Polygyny–Fertility Hypothesis
Previous studies of the relationship between polygynous marriages and fertility have produced mixed results, although on balance evidence suggests that fertility levels are lower in polygynous than in monogamous marriages. It is argued that the inconsistent results stem from the aggregation of fertility data among all wives in polygynous unions, and that major differences are due to variations in fertility by wife-order and number of wives in pol…
Estimates of Infant Mortality on the Western Frontier
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 pote…

Mormon Demographic History II
The concept of the family life-cycle has been central to a substantial body of literature in both demography and family history.1 Because the information necessary for a full description of the family life-cycle is often difficult to obtain in most of the studies made, twentieth-century perioddata have been used. Glick has provided a somewhat longer time series with his description of the life-cycle of the American family beginning with cohorts b…
Survival of offspring who experience early parental death
A Macrosimulation Approach to the Investigation of Natural Fertility
This paper is part of a long-term investigation known as the Mormon Historical Demography Project. It examines the capability of a simulation model, originally proposed by John Bongaarts (1976), to fit the natural fertility pattern which characterized the mid-nineteenth century Mormon population. Application of this model permits estimates to be made of the historical timing and age-incidence of fertility limitation. A sensitivity analysis of the…
A specification of marital fertility by parents’ age, age atmarriage and marital duration
The positive association between wife’s age at marriage and fertility experienced at the older reproductive ages, cited in recent natural fertility literature, is explored using Mormon birth cohorts from 1840 to 1879. When this relationship is specified by husband’s age at marriage and marriage duration, the results indicate that older-aged husbands depress marital fertility only at higher marriage durations. The general decomposition of age-spec…

Adoption of fertility limitation in an American frontier population
This paper investigates a late nineteenth‐century fertility transition in a predominantly Mormon population of the western United States. A unique set of longitudinal data composed of 31,500 computerized family genealogies is drawn upon to examine a number of problems identified in reappraisals of fertility transition research (Caldwell, 1981; Freedman, 1979). Four subcohorts, differentiated by religious commitment and exposure to urban influence…

La mortalité maternelle autrefois
When studying the death rate of women who died during or soon after child birth, a number of special precautions should be taken : one should have a large sampling, a methodical choice of observations, and information about the conditions of delivery. Although deaths in this category can sometimes be attributed to various infections, infectious diseases were not as important a cause of death as is generally believed. A comparative study of differ…

Evolution différentielle de la fécondité et groupes sociaux religieux
Dans cet article, les auteurs présentent une analyse de fécondité différentielle. L'intérêt de cette recherche est double : d'une part, elle apporte des résultats concrets sur les facteurs de transformation des comportements ; d'autre part, elle s'appuie sur une méthode d'analyse catégorielle qui permet de prendre en compte simultanément diverses variables explicatives. L'adhésion religieuse et le mode de résidence jouent indiscutablement un rôle…
