Kinship structures and survival: Maternal mortality on the Croatian–Bosnian border 1750–1898

“…Natural growth continued, but slowed after about 1780 as peasants began to control their fertility to avoid excessive division of the land among offspring. There is evidence that medicinal and mechanical means of abortion were used at least from the 1760s, and the region was notorious in the nineteenth century for its low fertility (Tomasevich 1955;Rothenberg 1960Rothenberg , 1966Hammel 1985Hammel , 1993Hammel , 1995Andorka and Balazs-Kovacs 1986;Vassary 1989;Hammel and Herrchen 1993;Hammel and Wachter 1996a, b;Hammel and Galloway 2000a, b; see other citations in Hammel and Gullickson in press).…”

It is still not clear how the transformation process took place in a peripheral region like Subcarpathian Russia.…”
