Between 1820 and 1930 over 5 million Germans emigrated to overseas destinations, most to the U.S. By the 1850s the number of German migrants living in the U.S. was large, a consequence partly of cumulative causation. I provide evidence for the dramatic increase in networks by using micro-level data for the German principality of Hesse-Cassel in the mid-nineteenth century. A conservative measurement of network relationships finds that after 25 years almost half of them were related to a previous family member from the same village. Migrants who used family networks tended to move in small units. Usually only a few years separated networked family members, but some links lasted over a decade. Women were unlikely to start a network but more likely than men to travel to the U.S. Within some families, migrants switched from continental destinations to the U.S., perhaps due to the failure of the 1848 March Revolution.

Why weren't (many) European women ‘missing’?

In a 1990 article, Amartya Sen observed "More than 100 million Women … Missing" from the populations of parts of south and east Asia. Direct observation and census data suggested that gender ratios deviated sufficiently from what is known to be normal in modern human populations to suggest that the phenomenon was not random. Researchers have explored major proximate causes of "missing" girls and women such as female-selective abortion, routine neglect of young girls in their families including differential access to modern medical care, and even infanticide. This article uses Sen's work and the research of others on Asia to compare with evidence of the disadvantaging or even "mortal neglect" of girls and women in Western European society in the early modern and modern periods -roughly from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. It argues that the current state of the evidence suggests little support for similar gender-specific forms of mortal neglect in Western Europe. It explores why this may have been so, using evidence from economic, social, demographic and religious life.

El presente artículo persigue profundizar en el comportamiento matrimonial de las mujeres francesas que emigraron a Cataluña en los siglos XVI y XVII en el marco de la gran oleada migratoria que recibió la monarquía hispánica. Así, se han cruzado nominativamente, y por primera vez, los libros de esponsales de la catedral de Barcelona, recogidos en la Barcelona Historical Marriage Database; los expedientes matrimoniales de la diócesis de Barcelona y la Matrícula de franceses de 1637. Los resultados muestran un alto nivel de homogamia geográfica y social en sus matrimonios como consecuencia de un marcado desequilibrio del mercado matrimonial. En este sentido, por cada nueve franceses encontramos una sola francesa. Asimismo, estas migrantes estaban concentradas en las capas más bajas de la sociedad del momento, declarando ser hijas, básicamente, de campesinos y jornaleros.
