Explanatory Notes for Chart

 

   1.    The chart is designed to compare family structures based on the demographic (census or survey) household
      concept with three alternatives from among a broad range of possibilities that can be derived from genealogical
      records or kinship surveys.
 
   2.    The particular family that is described in the chart is used for illustrative purposes only.  There obviously will be
      substantial variation in patterns when other families are described in similar ways.
 
   3.    Years of change are reported, along with markers for the census years.  Reference is to April of the year, when
      censuses are taken.
 
   4.    Initials refer to different family members.
 
   5.    The first column indicates who would be included under the demographic (residence-based) family definition.
 
   6.    The second column refers to the nuclear family, irrespective of residence.
 
   7.    The third column adds in the married couple's parents, children's spouses, and grandchildren in years when they
      were part of the "family."
 
   8.    The final column adds in brothers and sisters of the initial couple, but does not include their spouses or children.
 
   9.    Members are deleted in the year of death or, in one case, in the year of divorce of a child's spouse.
