Irish Families in the Twentieth Century: Exceptional or Converging
Irish families were characterized as being patriarchal, stem-extended, large, strong, and stable for much of the twentieth century. Studies completed during the 1930s and 1940s propagated this depiction. These characteristics made Irish families an exception to the convergence of family patterns going on worldwide. Historical scholarship and empirical data are used to assess the accuracy of this characterization, chart changing patterns, and comp…

Family size in the united states: An exploratory study of trends
The processes of industrialization and urbanization have been and are frequently cited as significant factors in bringing about the decline of the extended family system. An important aspect of this contention has been the acceptance of the family system as a dependent, reaction system within society. This paper focuses upon one aspect of the familial system-family size-and attempts to explore the relationship of family size to the process of ind…
The Colonial Family in America: Toward a Socio-Historical Restoration of Its Structure
During the last two decades there have many advocates for interdisciplinary work between the fields of history and sociology. Despite favorable arguments (listing the advantages of collaboration) and the founding of committees and journals (aimed at aiding or initiating cooperation) a number of writers have noted the aloofness of both fields and the lack of any real commitment to interdisciplinary work. But with an increasing interest in the stud…
