Samenvatting
Swarming out or sticking together? The dispersal of siblings in the
North-Holland countryside, 1850-1940 Why were some families scattered over a larger area than others? In this article
we use a dataset with the complete life courses of all siblings originating from 210 families, whose parents married in the same village in the commercialized North-western part of the Netherlands in order to discover the determinants of
sibling dispersal. Using multinomial logistic regression, we found that the survival status of the parents, the civil status of the siblings and the size and gender composition of the sibling set were the most important factors behind dispersal patterns.
