Abstract:
"The purpose of this paper is to describe, analyze, and compare the characteristics of three Dutch emigrant groups--Dutch Reformed, Seceders (Afgescheidenen), and Roman Catholics--in the nineteenth century. Because the Catholics are a neglected group in emigration research, the paper will focus on the Roman Catholic emigrants from the southern provinces of the Netherlands (Limburg, Noord-Brabant, and Gelderland), although the other two groups will form a reference for comparison throughout the paper." Data are from official Dutch emigration records.
