A model adapted to a general linear model of phenotypic transmission (two components:(1)
genetic additive,(2) cultural [age at marriage]) has been used to analyse the familial
correlations of fertility (number of children) born before the demographic transition at Arthez
d'Asson (Béarn, 1744–1889). The model is rejected: x 2= 55· 7 with 6 df In the ancient
demographical regime, reproduction and nuptiality of a couple were not influenced by their
parents but by their generation.
