 ABSTRACT = {An adjusted 17th C. census based on critical reading of the
             historical text is the basis for indirect estimation of uncounted
             persons. The census states no ages and excludes many categories of
             household residents. Microsimulation based on historically and
             ethnographically plausible rates and household formation scenarios
             produces simulated households that match the observable portions of
             households in the adjusted census. Microsimulation results permit
             estimation of the uncounted population, of the kinship and age
             composition of households under extant frontier conditions, and the
             probable future composition of households as the frontier
             stabilized and land shortage began to exert pressure for greater
             density and household complexity.},

 ABSTRACT = {Considering the difficulties, the Census Bureau does a remarkably
             good job at counting people. There are two current techniques for
             evaluating or adjusting the census: (a) demographic analysis uses
             administrative records to make independent population estimates,
             which can be compared to census counts; (b) datafrom an independent
             sample survey can be used to estimate population coverage. If there
             is a large undercount, these techniques may be accurate enough for
             adjustment. With a small undercount, it is unlikely that current
             adjustment methodologies can improve on the census; instead,
             adjustment could easily degrade the accuracy of the data. This
             article reviews plans for Census 2000, including proposals for
             adjustment, in the light of past experience.},

 ABSTRACT = {Microsimulation, other demographic tools, and evidence of history
             and ethnography are used to evaluate an important 17th century
             household census. Linguistic, ethnographic, and internal evidence
             allow adjustment of anomalies in census categories. Microsimulation
             based on historically and ethnographically plausible rates and
             household formation scenarios produces simulated households in
             accord with those of the adjusted census. Results permit estimation
             of the true population of the region, of the kinship and age
             composition of households under frontier conditions, and the
             probable future composition of households as the frontier
             stabilized and land shortage began to exert pressure for greater
             density and household complexity. Part I concentrates on
             historical, ethnographic, and linguistic evidence.},
