From birth to death. Aspects of Population Dynamics in Dămăcușeni Village (1765–1918)

Summary/Abstract: This study attempts to provide a demographic perspective on the population of Dămăcușeni village between 1765 and 1918. It concerns an insular community, entirely Hungarian, of Reformed (Calvinist) confession, located near Targu Lăpuș, which has preserved its ethnic and confessional profile in time. The main studied demographic phenomena are natality, nuptiality, divortiality, and mortality. Research relies on two main sources, namely the archive documents and the censuses carried out by the Habsburg Empire (that had become the Austro‑Hungarian Empire) be-tween 1850 and 1910. Based on them, we analyzed the evolution of that population during the specified period, thus revealing the demographic analogies and particularities of that community. The data were displayed in a series of charts and tables meant to draw the readers’ attention and facilitate their understanding.
