title: [Orphans and adult mortality.  The example of France between 1740 and 1829].
abstract: The relationship between adult mortality and the proportion of orphans in France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is analyzed.  Data are from a research project developed at the Institut National d'Etudes Demographiques [INED] and concern data for some 400 communes, together with life tables developed for the periods 1740-1749 and 1820-1829.  "This paper is divided in two chapters.  The first chapter examines the different proportions of orphans, observed in the above mentioned periods.  The second one confronts these proportions with comparable values derived from mortality tables." Consideration is given to the relationship between parents' death and timing of marriage of
