 ABSTRACT = {It is known that even people who do not know their ages, know their
             kin; leading to the belief in demography that kin counts in various
             types of communities can fill in the data gaps left by lack of
             adequate census or vital registration figures. A formula was
             proposed in 1978 by Goldman, whereby the rate of natural increase
             could be estimated in a stable population from the ratio between
             the total numbers of younger and older ever-born sisters of living
             women over an age greater than the total length of the child-
             bearing span. The main use for this model is in relatively small
             communities where a survey of kin is feasible or in a situation
             where anthropoligical data has already been collected for other
             purposes. The model does not work where random variability about
             mean values is great. Computer microsimulations show the large
             statistical errors derived when the formula is used for nonstable
             populations. When the population is increasing, there are more
             younger sisters than older sisters; when the population is
             decreasing, the reverse is true. The rate of increase must,
             therefore, be included in the simulation. A variation on the
             original Goldman theory takes into account random variability,
             changing rates, and other elements in a nonstable demographic
             situation. Microsimulation with the modified version illustrates
             its usefulness in population growth-rate estimation.},
