| Summary: | Demographic data from the genealogy of one French-Canadian family extending from 1650 to 1950 were utilized for computing fertility statistics for the French-Canadian ethnic group in both Canada and the United States. These findings were then compared to available information for French Canada in an attempt to determine the validity of this methodology in deriving demographic statistics. This comparison led to the conclusion that, whenever official data are either non-existent or unavailable, genealogical information based on “typical families” can be of value in historical demography. |
