Monthly births in Dutch Limburg, 1825-1839

Between 1815 and 1839, Belgian Limburg and Dutch Limburg were one province of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands: Limburg. Thus, any provincial statistics published at the time do not distinguish between both. This can create problems when comparing processes over time using aggregated data.

In this dataset, I have attempted to reconstruct the monthly number of births in Dutch Limburg between 1825 and 1839 by counting the online indexes of AEZEL. This allows researchers to easily analyze the development in the seasonality of births in the province.
