Population Reconstruction

	Population Reconstruction Population reconstruction is a method used by historical demographers. Using records, such as church registries, the size and composition of families living in a given region in a given past time is determined. This allows the identification and analysis of patterns of family formation, fertility, mortality, and migration, and of consequent trends such as population growth.

	Historical Demography Historical demography is the quantitative study of human population in the past. It is concerned with population size, with the three basic components of population change (fertility Fertility in colloquial terms refers the ability to have offspring. In demographic contexts, fertility refers to the actual production of offspring, rather than the physical capability to reproduce, which is termed fecundity. The fertility rate ..., mortality rate, mortality, and human migration, migration), and with population characteristics related to those components, such as marriage, socioeconomic status, and the configuration of families. Sources The sources of historical demography vary according to the period and topics of the study. For the recent period — beginning in the early nineteenth century in most European countries, and later in the rest of the world — historical demographers make use of data collected by governments, including censuses and vital statistics (government r ...

	One-place Study One-place studies are a branch of family history and/or local history with a focus on the entire population of a single road, village or community, not just a single, geographically dispersed family line. Introduction In the course of a one-place study, a prime objective is to transcribe the registers of christenings, marriages and burials of the parish church so they can be restructured into family order in a database. This is then correlated with other archival records such as tax, land and testamentary documents, and published as a biographical index. When such a study is done scientifically as a precursor to academic analysis, it is known as family reconstitution. The term one-place study is sometimes also used for a microhistory of a single urban street and its residents, including the changes in land ownership, agricultural or commercial activities. Unlike a local history, which focuses on the past as described by residents, a one-place study can provide a statistical approa ...
