US migration from 1850 to 1920: A comparison of family trees with linked census data
Settlement and the intergenerational dispersion of kin as a spatial process in the nineteenth century US
This study examines how families dispersed or remained clustered across three generations during the nineteenth-century American settlement process. While kin networks are known to influence migration decisions, economic outcomes, and reproductive behavior, most historical studies rely on snapshots of co-residence or proximity within a single generation. We extend this research by introducing a new methodological framework, the Intergenerational …
Population‐Scale Kinship Networks
Population‐scale kinship networks are large‐scale social networks that encompass the familial relationships among individuals within a given population. These networks provide a representation of the complex web of connections formed through blood relationships, marriages, and other kinship bonds. Crowdsourced genealogy websites provide a platform for both amateur and professional genealogy researchers to collaboratively compile and publicly shar…
Measuring and mapping long-term changes in migration flows using population-scale family tree data
Studying migration over a long period is challenging due to lack of data, uneven data quality, and the methodological challenges that arise when analyzing migration over large geographic areas and long time spans with constantly changing political boundaries. Crowd-sourced family tree data are an untapped source of volunteered geographic information generated by millions of users. These trees contain information on individuals such as birth and d…
The Changing Space of Families: A Genealogical Approach
This article highlights the usefulness of family trees for visualizing and understanding changing patterns of kin dispersion over time. Such spatial patterns are important in gauging how families influence outcomes such as health and social mobility. The article describes how rapidly growing families, originally from England, dispersed over the US North and established hubs where they originally settled that lasted hundreds of years, even as they…
The effects of family and location on wealth: A longitudinal study of the US North, 1850-1870
Family effects can be confounded with spatial effects, since family members live near each other
A Bayesian analysis of the spatial concentration of individual wealth in the US North during the nineteenth century
Kin effects can be difficult to distinguish from those of spatial proximity, since kin tend to live close to each other. Thus, past research showing correlations between the wealth of relatives may be showing the effects of proximity and shared locations
Mapping family connectedness across space and time
Understanding the structure and evolution of family networks embedded in space and time is crucial for various fields such as disaster evacuation planning and provision of care to the elderly. Computation and visualization can potentially play a key role in analyzing and understanding such networks. Graph visualization methods are effective in discovering network patterns; however, they have inadequate capability in discovering spatial and tempor…
Gender differences in the dispersal of children in northern Sweden and the northern USA in 1850
In the course of time families disperse and kin relationships change. In this study gender differences in spatial dispersion of adult children from their fathers were investigated in two areas of the world in 1850: the Skellefteå region in northern Sweden and the northern part of the USA, both largely rural populations. The results from the Skellefteå region where data on both genders were available were used to estimate gender differences among …
Migration over the life course in XIXth century Netherlands and the american north: A comparative analysis based on genealogies and population registers
Comme les sources pour l'étude des migrations sont dépendantes de chaque unité territoriale d'enregistrement, dès qu'une personne franchit une frontière, elle échappe ipso facto à l'observation des greffiers locaux. En conséquence, pour pister les individus mobiles, il faut user de sources couvrant une aire régionale, voire nationale. La chronologie et le déroulement des migrations dans la durée de vie des individus sont, pour cette raison, en pr…

Is There a Place for Anthropology in Social Science History
Imagine a fourfold table in which one dimension is “present versus past” and the other “exotic versus home.” Traditionally, social and cultural anthropology’s domain has been the exotic’s present and history’s domain the home’s past. A third box, the home’s present, has been occupied by sociology, while the fourth, the exotic’s past, has usually been the province of anthropologists too because other disciplines—with the exception, perhaps, of eth…

On retrouve des différences entre les descendants mâles des fermiers en matière de migration, fertilité et richesse dans la tranche agricole du Nord des Etats-Unis entre 1775 et 1875. Elles varient d'après les dimensions des families. Dans les families nombreuses les parents récoltent les bénéfices de leur déplacement avec les enfants, vers des terres nouvelles. Les enfants nés dans des families extrêmement mobiles connurent la réussite d'après l…
Estimates of Census Underenumeration Based on Genealogies
WE HAVE BEEN STUDYING the migrations of the descendants of nine men who came to Massachusetts before I650 and have compiled a computerized database that includes all the people born before I860 in the patrilines.Thus we have what the nine genealogists who studied these families thought was close to a complete list of family members alive in I850.Here we focus on our attempts to find these individuals on the I850 federal census.To facilitate our t…

The Construction of Primary Data in Cultural Anthropology
Wealth and Migration in Massachusetts and Maine: 1771–1798
We use a genealogical data base to question the idea that the frontier was a “safety valve” for Americans in the years of the founding of the republic. Our findings about the relative wealth of members of nine families show how the frontier affected their migration patterns. We find that it was the middle class, not the poor, who seemed to make best use of the opportunity of the frontier
Migration and the Family in Colonial New England: The View From Genealogies
This paper describes the migrations of the married men of six New England families from 1620 to 1850 using published genealogies as the data source. Their location at the time of vital events is used to investigate (1) per sistence rates; (2) distances between fathers, sons, and brothers during their life times ; and (3) the extent to which kin were found in the same community. Our data show more mobility than do town studies and reveal the impor…

Spatial Location and Social Organisation: An Analysis of Tikopian Patterns
The idea that the location of people in space may have a profound influence upon social organisation is not a new one to anthropologists. Tylor (1889: 247), for example, proposed that the societies in which people lived close to their in-laws would be the most likely to have rules that prescribed their avoidance. A popular explanation for whether clans are matrilineal or patrilineal is that they arise from residence patterns which cause matrilate…
