Ipums full count datasets of enslaved persons and slaveholders in the United States in 1850 and 1860
Historical context and creation of the Ipums Ancestry full count population census data 1900–1930
IPUMS recently released final versions of full count census data for the United States 1900-1930. The information contained in these files is the product of three broad work stages: historical census enumeration, digitization, and IPUMS processing. The data were produced within an evolving institutional context and subjected to subsequent processes that had important ramifications on the final product. This paper documents these histories and pro…
New data sources for research on the nineteenth-century United States
IPUMS has finalized databases for each of the United States population censuses from 1850 to 1880. These data are the result of collaborations between FamilySearch and Ancestry.com, which provided the raw data, and IPUMS, which enhanced the data with editing, standardized coding, inter-census harmonization, and documentation. We discuss the data capture process conducted by the nineteenth-century United States Census Office, construction of the m…
The Ipums multigenerational longitudinal panel
The IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) is a longitudinal population panel that links American censuses, surveys, administrative sources, and vital records spanning the period from 1850 to the present. This article explains the rationale for IPUMS MLP, outlines the design of the infrastructure, and describes the linking methods used to construct the panel. We then detail our plans for expansion and improvement of MLP over the next fi…
Ipums full count datasets of the United States censuses of mortality, 1850–1880
This article describes four new IPUMS datasets constructed from the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 Censuses of Mortality of the United States. We discuss the creation of the datasets, the variables included in each census year, and their potential for social science research. We highlight several limitations in the data and caution users about potential biases. Finally, we illustrate the usefulness of the new data by analyzing the relationship betwee…
Identifying matrilineal kin networks in the United States 1900–1940
National-level analysis of historical women's life courses and kinship networks is understudied due to data limitations. Previous analysis of patrilineal kin propinquity in the United States relied on surnames to identify the probability of non-random isonymy (same surname) as a proxy for nearby kin. One limitation of this approach is losing matrilineal kinship networks due to women's changing surnames upon marriage. Using linked census data from…
Giving and Receiving Aid
American Generation's Journey Through the 20th Century is a comprehensive study with origins dating to the 1960s. The authors look at how a rapidly changing society influenced the lives of 210 middle-class and working-class couples who were members of the 1900 generation. The 1900 generation was defined as those born between 1885 and 1908 who had children born in 1928-1929 were included in the longitudinal Berkeley Guidance Study led by Jean Walk…
The Influence of Kin Proximity on the Reproductive Success of American Couples, 1900–1910
Children require a large amount of time, effort, and resources to raise. Physical help, financial contributions, medical care, and other types of assistance from kin and social network members allow couples to space births closer together while maintaining or increasing child survival. We examine the impact of kin availability on couples' reproductive success in the early twentieth-century United States with a panel data set of over 3.1 million c…
The decline of patrilineal kin propinquity in the United States, 1790-1940
BACKGROUND: Historical change in the availability of kin beyond the household has long interested scholars, but there has been little comparable evidence on long-run change. While generally accepted that individuals lived near kin historically, no systematic measures have been available to assess historical kin propinquity at the national level. METHODS: With the release of historical complete count United States census data from the Integrated P…
