Culture, religion, and demographic behaviour: Catholics and Lutherans in Alsace, 1750-1870, by Kevin McQuillan (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1999), ISBN 0773518606. Aggregate data were collected for a sample of twenty-six villages and small towns located across Alsace, of which five were chosen for a family reconstitution study. The majority of the analysis in this study is based on the subset of five villages used for the family reconstitution: Avolsheim, Baldenheim, Goxwiller, Husseren-Wesserling and Mussig.
