AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This report describes population growth, population structure, and fertility patterns in a little-studied Amish settlement located in Geauga County, northeastern Ohio. Much of the demographic information presented in this work that relates to population size, population structure, fertility rates, age at marriage, age of mothers at first and last birth, and birth intervals, is derived from the analysis of data presented in directories prepared by the Geauga Settlement.
