Event Details
The records of births, deaths and marriages in Massachusetts during the past year develop some curious facts. A comparison between the marriages of American and foreign born persons in the State, and the births in the families of the same extraction show that, while there were twice as many 'American' as 'foreign' marriages there were more children born of the latter parentage than of the former. In Boston, the two classes of marriages were about equal in number; but the births of foreign were as 7 to 5 of American parentage.
