Introduction to Marriage Tape Docunentatlon

The marriage data file is maintained by calendar year. The file is comprised of: (1) records for all marriages received in machine-readable form and (2) sample records, or all records for those States with small nmimrs of events, received onmicrofil.m (coded and keyed by~ personnel).

The tape file includes data from selected States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, which meet certain reporting criteria for inclusion in the Marriage Registration Area (MIA). The criteria are explained in the Technical Appendix which is part of this documentation package.

Inan effort to obtain national marriage data to use along with the detailed population bases available from the 1980 census, marriage records are also imltied from five States not in the MRA. These States are identified by code ‘2’ in position 79 of the record.

Each record contains a weight field (tape locations 18-20) which is designed to inflate tabular totals to the States’ figures and to the MIAfigures. Note, however, in NCHSpublications, U.S. data and Possessions data are tabulated separately. Totals for the MRAdonot include data for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

SECTION 4- TECHNICAL APPENDIX€

SOURCES OF DATA

Marriage and divorce statisticsin this volume are based on information from three sources: (1) Com- plete counts of events obtained from all States, (2) sample:: of marriage and divorce certificates from. States meeting specified reporting criteria, and (3) preceded machine-readable data for all marriages and all divorces occurring in States participating in the Cooperative Health Statistics System (CHSS).

State and local officials annually provide com- plete counts of marriages and divorces by county of occurrence and marriages by month of occurrence. From these counts, marriage and divorce totals are derived and rates are computed for each State, geographic division, ”region, and the United States. For marriages a total is also derived for the marnage- registration area.

Sample records are obt@ned by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) from microfiim copies of the original certificates received from the registration offices of States and areas comprising the marriage-registration area (MRA) and the divorce- registration area (DRA). The statistical information on these records, including data on the characteristics of marriages and divorces and of the persons involved in them, is edited, classified, transferred to tape for computer processing, and tabulated in NCHS. Excep- tions to this procedure are statistics from those States in the MRA or DRA that submit preceded machine- readable data to NCHS through CHSS. Statistical data for 197’8 for both marriages and divorces were provided through CHSS by the following eight States: Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, New York (except for New York City marriages), Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. For mar- riages only, preceded data were provided by Florida, Maine, Montana, and New Hampshire.

The marriage totals for the MRA and each par- ticipating State derived from sample data differ slightly from the totals obtained from the complete” count described above. The two published divorce totals for each State in the DRA also vary slightly. Only one total is published for the DRA; and it is based on sample data.

Marriage and divorce statistics for the United States, for the registration areas, and for individual States are limited to events occurting during the year axial registered within the specified area. All tabula- tions are by place of occurrence and include events occurring to nonresidents. Marriages or divorces of members of the Armed Forces or other U.S. nationals that occur outside the United States are excluded. United States refers to the 50 States and the District of Columbia. .41aska has been included in tie U.S. tabulations since 1959 and Hawaii, since 1960. Data

for Puerto.,Rico and the Virgin IsIands were compiled for 1978 and preceding years except .1966-69 and 1972. Data for these areas were processed separately from the rest of the MRA and DRA and appear m section 3 of this volume.

Sources of marriage and divorce data since 1867 are shown in table 4-1; a description of these sources can be found in section 7, Volume III, Vital Statistic$ of the United States, 1960.

Nationwide counts

In 1978 the total counts of marriages by State and county were obtained from central files of marriage records for the 47 States maintaining them and ‘from the District of Columbia. Ihe registration officials of Manhattan supplied the counts for the five boroughs of New York City. In the three Statks without central files, counts were obtained from the counties by State officials or by NCHS. State officials reported the counts for Arizona and Oklahoma County totals were obtained from county officials in New Mexico. Marriages performed in 1978 were not reported by four counties in Kentucky.

Although total counts of marriages performed were requested from each county registration official, as in prior years, a small number of counties reported instead the number of marriage licenses issued. The number of marriage licenses issued is usually 1 or 2 percent greater than the number of marriages per- formed. (See page 2-1, section 2, Volume I, Vital Statistics of the United States, 1959.)

Beginning with final marriage statistics for 1978, nonlicensed (confidential) marriages registered in California are included in national and ‘geo@phic totrds and rates. Section 4213 of the California Civil Code ~lows unmarried couples who have been living together to be married confidentially without obtain- ing a maryiage license or health certificate. In 1972 this section was amended to require county clerks to keep sealed records of these marriages and period- ically to report the total number to the Wlfomia State Department of Health Services. These records may not be opened to inspection without a court order on a showing of good cause.

After “reporting began, nonlicensed California marriages increased rapidly, totaling 2,857 in 1973; 10,555 in 1974; 19,061 in 1975; 30,125 in 1976; and 32,008 in 1977. NCHS did not include these non- licensed marriages in marriage totals or rates pub- lished in Vital Stat&tics of the United States, Volume III, in years prior to 1978. Table I shows the number of marriages and marriage rates for the United States in 1973-77, including the reported number of non- licensed California marriages. Similarly, table II shows the number of marriages and the marriage rate for 1973-77, including California nonlicensed

“1’ot.alcounts of divorces by State and county in­clude decrees of absolute divorce and of annulment as well as decrees of marriage dissolution newly intro­duced in many States. These counts were obtiained from central files of the 46 States maintaining them and from the District of Columbia. Either local or State officials provided the county totals for the four States without central files of divorce records. Local ~officials in Indiana and New Mexico supplied the county. totals. State officials in Arizona and Oklahoma obtained the county totals and forwarded thcm to NCHS.

States: California (1), Kentucky (17), bntisiana ( 11 ), and Texas (10). ‘~hc number of divorces for some counties in Indiana is bawd on the number of peti­tions filed, rather than on the divorce decrees granted.

Marriages and marriage rates with seasonal adjustments

For zll years appearing in table 1-4 the number of marriages and the marriage rates have been ad­justed for Iargc seasonal fluctuations and for the effect of the number of Fridays and Saturdays in each month. Prior to 1970, adjustments were also made for Lent, but they were discontinued because of the lessening influence of hnt on marriages, Most religious denominations have reked or abol~ ishcd their rules against marriage during that period.

Registration areas

Registration areas for the collection of marriage -and divorce statistics were established in 1957 and 1958, respectively. These areas include States with adequate programs for collecting marriage and di­vorce statistics. Criteria for participation in the registration areas arc

1. A central file of marriage or divorce records 2. A statistical report form conforming closely

in content to the Standard License and Cer­tificate of Marriage (figure 4-1) or Standard Certificate of Divorce, Dissolution of Marriage or Annulment (figure 4-2)

3. Regular reporting to the State office by all local areas in which marriages or divorces are recorded

4. Tests for completeness and accuracy of mar­riage or divorce registration c~ied out in cooperation with NCHS.

In 1978 the MRA (figure 4-3) comprised 41 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the V@in Islands. The DRA (figure 4.4) included 28 States and the Virgin Islands. Table 4-2 shows when States and independent registration areas established central files and when they were admitted to the MRA and DRA. California ceased to participate in the DRA in 1978.

In the statistical tabulations in this volume, Mfzrriugc-regzktration area refers only to the 41 States and the District of Columbia. Divorce-regktration area refers to the 28 States. Marriages in the MM accounted for 79 percent of all marriages in the United States in 1978, and divorces in the DRA accounted for 48 percent of all divorces. ~

riage; month and day of week of marriage; type of ceremony, civil or religious; and the following items relating to characteristics of bride and groom: State of birth, date of birth or age, nativity status, resi­dence status, race, number of this marriage, previous marital status, and education.

For divorces (including absolute divorces, annul­ments, and decrees of marriage dissolution) the items processed for 1978 and shown in this volume were State in which divorce was granted, number of children under 18 years of age, month and year of marriage (from which duration of marriage and age at marriage are obtained), month and year of separation (from which duration of marriage to separation and duration of separation to divorce are obtained), place of marriage, and the following items relating to husband and wife: Date of birth or age, race, number of this marriage, and education.

Most of the items tabulated for marriages and divorces in 1978 were on the corresponding certifi­cates of nearly all the reporting areas in the h4RA or in the DRA. For marriages, items on age at marriage or date of birth and State of residence were included by every MRA State and the District of Columbia and were well reported. For divorces, date of marriage, place of marriage, and number of children were

included by every St:ite in the DRA and were well reported.

Information about previous marriages of the bride and groom is obtained from two items: Number of this marriage and previous marital status. For the District of Columbia and t.hc 34 States that requested both items on their marriage certificates, first mar­riages and remarriages could be identified if either item was stated. Idaho, Maryland, and Oregon re-quested only the item on previous marital status. For these States the number of not stated cases for the missing item (number of this marriage) was reduced by the number of cases assumed to be first marriages because previous marital status was stated as single. Michigan, Ohic), and South Carolina requested only “number of times previously married.” Not stated cases for the missing item (previous marital status) were reduced by the number of persons assumed to be single because they ‘had been previously married “O” times. Both items, previous marital status and number of this marriage, were removed from the Iowa marriage certificate July 1, 1976.

All of the States in the DRA request reporting of the number of this marriage on their divorce certifi­cates. Not stated cases for the missing item (number of this marfiagc) have not been adjusted where it is

stated that no prior marriage ended in dctith or di­.. vorce, because the latter item has been included on the certificates of only 15 States in the DRA and has been poorly reported in most of those States.

Race is generally not well reported on either mar­riage or divorce certificates. The item appears on the marriage forms of all States in the MRA except California, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Xew York, and Ohio. The District of Columbia no longer reports race on its marriage certificates. Race appears as an item on the divorce certificates of all States in the DRA except Michigan and Ohio.

TabIes 4-3, 4-4, 4-9, and 4-10 show which items appear on the records of the registration States and how well they are reported by each State.

SAMPLE DESIGN

Obtaining the records

Each year the states and areas participating in the MRA and the DRA prepare microfilm copies of their records, which are purchased by NCHS. Further proc­essing, including the selection of samples of certifi­cates from microfilm copies and the code-punching, verification, and tabulation of statistical data from the sample records, is carried out by NCHS. As noted

,7,;,;?/fi/{~ w PUERTO - -%;#’2 Rico

,. (

ubovc, exceptions LO this procedure occur for those States in thi MRA or DR-A which submit preceded nmchinc-readable data tapes to NCHS through CHSS. These precodcd computer tapes contain statistical data on all marriages or divorces occurring in those MRA or llRA States providing data through CHSS.

For- nmrriagcs the records refer to all marriages performed in 1978 within the 41 MRA States, the District of Columbia, Puerto RICO, and the Virgin Islands. Nonlicensed marria~es performed in California arc not included in the sample because by California la~~ the certificates for these marriages are retained as confidential records in the offices of the county clerks (see discussion in the section on Nationwide counts). For divorces the records refer to all decrees of absolute divorce, dissolution of marriage, and annulmcmt that \vere granted during 1978 within the 28 DR.4 SIatcs and the \Tir.gin Islands.

Interlocutory divorce decrees or decrees “nisi” (~vhich grant that the divorce takes permanent effect at a specific time in the future if the couple does not rcconciic in the meantime) arc included among the records of the States that grant them, usually for the ycm- in which thc~. \vcrc griintcd.

The sampling of marriage tind divorce records for States in the rcgistraticm area was initiated in 1960. For earlier yc;irs, clata On characteristics had been

SIiCrION 4- ‘~EC}iNICA1..APPI3NDIX 4-9

compiled from prwkxigncd taldcs complctcd on the basis of ;dl cv~nts ilnd submitted by th~ Stitt~s.

Sampling procedures

The marriage sample was designed to yield estimates of State totals as well as frequency distribu­tions by characteristics of the bride and groom. These estimates were made for the total MRA and each State in the MRA. A siunpling rittc was designated for each of the MRA States so that the selected sample for it would consist of at least 2,500 records. Five different sampling rates were used: All records, 1/2, 1/5, 1/1 0, and 1/20. All records were automatically included in the total hfRA sample for States submitt­ing preceded marriage data through CHSS. Overall, about 38 percent of all marriages in the MRA were included in the sample for 1978.

Sampling procedures for the divorce sample parallel those for the marriage sample. A sampling rate was selected so that the expected sample for each DRA State would contain at least 2,500 records. Five different sampling rates were used: All records, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, and .1/20. All records were included in the total DRA sample for the CHSS States. Ovcrall, about 46 percent of all divorces in the DRA were included in the sample for 1978.

The sampling procedures assure for each State a relative variance of 4 percent or less on a l-percent es­timate, that is, on an estimate of a characteristic that comprises 1 percent of the total events in the State. The sampling rates,’ number of events, and sample cases by State for 1978 are shown in tables 4-5 (mar­riages) and 4.7 (divorces).

ESTIMATING PROCEDURES

Area totals

The figures obtained from complete counts of events furnished by the State and local offices differ slightly from the estimated totals based on sample data. When possible, major differences between the totals estimated from the sample and those based on independent counts for each reporting State are reconciled before the sample data are weighted and tabulated. However, even in States where 100 percent of the records are sampled, the sample estimate may differ from the Stiite count because of differences between NCHS and State cutoff dates in accepting records.

The sample estimate of marriages in the MRA differed from the complete count by 2.1 percent. It differed by less than 1 percent in all States except California (a difference of 20.0 percent), New York (1.7 percent), and Ohio (1.0 percent). In California, nonlicensed (confidential) marriages are not available

for inclusion in the MRA marriage sample (SCC the discussion in the section on Nationwide counts). The 5-pcrccnt sample of California marriages for 1978 was drawn from 150,594 liccnscd marriages. The corresponding weight for California sample records was biiscd on this total. Since no information is iwailablc on the characteristics of persons obtaining nordiccnscd marriages, no estimate is available for the bias introduced in sample estimates by the omission of these marriages.

The sampIe estimate of divorces in the DIM dif­fered from the complctc count by 0.2 percent. It differed by less than 1 percent in all States except Kentucky (1.0 percent) and Utah (1. 1 percent).

Frequencies

Procedures for estimating frequency distributions for various characteristics from the marriage and divorce samples involve two steps,

1.€ Each wunplc case was assigned a weight which was the reciprocal of the sampling ratio used to select the case, If a marriage record was selected from a State with ii sampling ratio of 1/10, that record was assigned a weight of 10; if 100 percent of the records were processed from a State, each such record was assigned a weight of 1.

2.€ Tabulated counts consisted of summitm the records multiplied by their assigned we~ghts. Thus each frequency distribution, such as age at marriage of first-married brides, is a sum of the weighted sample cases included.

The weights for all sample records are identical within each State. However, as she@ in tables 4-5 and 4-7, the weights vary among the registration States from 1 to 20. Therefore, for the MRA and DRA, any two approximately equal frequencies may have different sampling-errors, varying with the proportion of cases for each stratum included in the estimate.

Percents and rates

Rates for 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1970 are based on the population enumerated as of April 1 in the censuses of those years. Rates for all other years are based on the estimated midyear (July 1) population for the respective years. Rates are based on popula­tion estimates including Armed Forces stationed in the United States but excluding Armed Forces abroad, except divorce rates for 1941-46 which are based on populations including Armed Forces abroad.

Allocation

On the computer tapes containing sample mar­riage records, values were allocated for missing ages of bride and groom. Reporting of these items has been

almost 100 pcrccnt complctc since 1960; in 1978 both items were more than 99.8 pcrccnt complctc for the MRA. lGicc W.W ids{) idl{)~iltcd On th~s~ siamplc marriage records where the ram of onc of the spouses was not rcporwd. For each siunplc mar­riage record where the race of only onc spouse was statccl, the race of the other (unknown) spouse was allocated to be the same as that of the known spouse. Because States in the DRA vary radically in the com­pleteness with which items ilrc rcportc~i on the divorce records, no allocations were made prior to tabula­tion of the divorce data.

Children involved in divorces

To obtain ni.ttiomd estimates fur 1970 through 1978, the average number of children under 18 years of agc per clccree for the DRA was multiplied by the national divorce total. From, 1965 to 1969 the average number of children per dccrcc was computed for the 16 Stiitcs that had reported children with a satisfactory degree of completeness in 1965 (Alitska, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kimws, Michigiin, Missouri, h40ntana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon. South llitkota, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) and the national divorce total was rnultiplicd by this average. This method was also used to revise figures for the years 1961-64 originally estimated by using a different method. Consequently data for 1961-64 shown in table 2-9 differ from figures appearing in Volume III, Vital Statistics of the United States prior to the J965 issue. In 1960 the estimate was based on sample data for the United States. For earlier years total counts from States reporting the number of children were used to estimate the children involved in divorce for the United States.

The race of ,a child involved in a divorce is inferred from the race of the husband and wife. When the spouses are both in the same racial category, the child is assigned to that category. When the husband is white and the wife is not, the child is assigned to the wife’s race. When the husband is not white, the child is assigned to the husband’s race. When the race of only one spouse is stated, the child is assigned to the stated race.

SAMPLING ERRORS

Statistics for States where all records were used have no sampling error. For other States each statis­tic has a sampling error (or standard error) denoted by 6(x). The sampling error is primarily a measure of variation that occurs by chance because a sample of records is surveyed rather than the entire population. The sampling error can bc computed because within each State or registration area the probability that ii record will be chosen for the sample is known (either all records, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, or 1/20, as shown in tables

4-5 and 4-7). For about 68 percent of all possible samples of cqui.d size the estimate from the sample would differ from the vi.duc obtained from a com­plctc count by lCSS than the standard error. For abet.tt 95 pcrccnt of all samples the difference would be lCSSthan twice the standard error.

Sampling errors are shown in table 4-6 for mar­riitgcs and table 4-8 for divorces. To facilitate compar­isons among registration States with widely varying totals of marriages and divorces, the sampling errors for the registration areas and participating States are shown for frequencies cxprcsscd as percents of Stiite or of rcgist ration itrca totals. For example, table 1-17 shows 48,508 remarriages to grooms 20-24 years of age in the MRA for 1978. This estimated frequency is about 3 percent of all grooms in the MRA (1,765,945). in mblc 4-6 under the column “3 or 97“ in the row for the total MRA wc find the sampling error 697. Thus chances are about 68 out of 100 that the actual number of rcmitrriagcs to grooms 20-24 years of age is within onc standard error of the estimate from this particular sample (48,508 ~ 697, or between 47,811 and 49,205). The interval from 47,811 to 49,205 is ci.dlcd a 68-pcrccnt confidence interval for the actual number of remarriages of grooms 20-24 years of age. The sampling error of a given frequency of marriages or divorces in it particular State can be calculated from the formula

6 (Xij) = 7

1 ?Zi-1

where ,-

i= a State or registration area - ‘:

j= a subclass, such as an age group of brides

Ni = the final count. of events reported by State i (tables 1-6 and 2-2)

ni = the number of sample records in State i (tables 4-5 and 4-7)

Pij = estimated proportion of all cases with the characteristic j to be studied for State i (shown in the spread margin of tables 4-6 and 4-8 as percent under “1 or 99,” “2 or 98,” “ 3 or 97,” etc.)

qij = 1 ‘Pij Xij = IVipij, the estimated frequency of the

characteristic under study.

In this formula we sce that when the number of sitmplc records, ni, is the same as the total marriages, IVi, the numerator becomes zero, and there is no sampling error for States that have all their records processed. We alsp scc that because the values of ~ij and qij arc complcmentmy, their product (Pijqij) re-mains the same if their values arc reversed. For

instancw, the Cstillliltcd salllplillg crrorf<)rmestimatc of 5 pcrccnt is the same as the sampling error for 95 pcrccnt. Therefore the sampling error for both values is 1istcd in one column in tables 4-6 and 4-8 under the h~ildillg “5 or 95.”

47,720, the final count of Aktbarna mar­€riages (table 1-6)€4,775, the number of sample records forAlabama (table 4-5)2,440, the estimated frequency of pre­viously widowed Alabama brides (table1-25)the number of previously widowedAlabama brides expressed as a percentof all marriages: 2,440/47,720 = .05 or 5percent1 ‘Pij = .95 or 95 percent

47,720 (42,945) (.05) (.95) = 143 = .

4,774 .{

So chances are 68 out of 100 that the actual number of previously widowed Alabama brides is between 2,297 and 2,583 (2,440 * 143).

The estimated sampling error for the MRA can be computed from the formula

42 ‘k (Nk - 7%) 6(Xj) = 2—4k=l ??k-l

Pkjqkj

where

42 refers to the 41 States and the Dis­trict of Columbia in the MRA

Nk = the final count of events rep~rted by the k-th MRA State

nk = the number of sample records in the same State

pkj = the estimated percent of all cases in Srate k with the characteristic j

qkj = 1 ‘Pkj.

Using the same formula, sampling errors for the DRA shown in table 4-8 were com-puted by summing over the 28 States in the DRA.

Many of the tables in this volume show percent distributions rather than frequencies. The sampling error for such a percent can be computed by dividing

the sampling error found in wblcs 4-6 or 4-8 by the estimated to~a] number of events for the i.trca. For example, vablc 1-10 shows that 3.8 percent of all Wyoming brides were prcvioqsly widowed. In table 4-6 under the spread margin “4 or 96” the Wyoming sampling error is 16. I)ividc 16 by 6,306, the esti­mated number of marriages in Wyoming as shown in the stub margin of the same table. The result is 0.3 percent, the sampling error for an estimated 4’ pcr­ccnt of 1978 Wyoming marriages. Thus chances arc about 68 out of 100 that the actual percent of pre­viously widowed Wyoming brides is 3.8 k 0.3, or between 3.5 and 4.1 percent.

The following formula is used to compute a samp­ling error for the proportion of events in a subclass of a subgroup, where the number of events in the sub-group is also subject to sampling error:

where

= Y the estimated frequency of the subgroup x = the estimated frequency of the subclass

of the subgroup d(y)= the sampling error of y from table 46 or

4-8 6(X)= the sampling error of x from table 4-6 or

4-8

To illustrate, if we wanted the sampling error for the proportion of all previously married Louisiana brides who were 20-24 years of age, let

x = 2,060 previously married Louisiana brides who were 20-24 years of age (table 1-18)

Y = 11,000 previously married Louisiana brides

x/y = 0.1873 a(x)= 6 (2,060) = 131 from table 4-6 under “5

or 95” since x is approximately .05 of all Louisiana brides (x/N = 2,060/39,877 = .05)

o(y)= ‘€6 (11,000) = 259 from table 4-6 under “25 or ’75” sirice y is approximately .25 of all Louisiana brides (y/ill = 11,000/ 39,877 = .28)

o(x/y)= (1/11,000) / (131)2- (.1873)2 (259)2= .0111 or 1.11 percent.

So chances are 68 out of 100 that the actual propor­tion of previously married Louisiana brides who were 20-24 years of age was .1873 * .0111, or between 17.62 percent and 19.84 percent.

The significance of the difference between two proportions may be determined by the following-formula:

--------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

4-12 SKC’1’ION 4- TKCHNICAL APPENDIX

(% h ) - (~2/Y2)

62(X1 /y, ) + 62(Jf2/Y2)

where the x‘s and y’s rcprcscnt the same subgroups as above, but of two populations, and where the de-nominator, under the square root sign, rcprcscnts the sampling error of the diffcrcncc bctwccn the proportions xl /yl and x2/y2 shown in the numerator of the formuk. If the above ratio is 2 or larger, the diffcrcncc bctwccn proportions is considered signifi­cant at the .05 level.

For example, 18.73 pcrccnt of previously married brides in Ltmisiana were 20-24 years of age, with a sampling error of 1.11 pcrccnt. Using the same procc­durc for previously married brides in Maryland, .1310 or 13.10 pcrccnt were 20-24 years of age, with a sam­pling error of .0083 or 0.83 p~rccnt. By the above formula:

.1873 -.1310 _ .0563

~ -013’= 4“1”

Since the difference in proportion divided by the sampling error is larger than 2, this difference of 5.6 percentage points between remarried brides in Louisi­ana and those in Maryland is expected to occur by chance no more than once in 20 times; the difference is statistically significant at the .05 level.

NONSAMPLING ERRORS

In addition to the sampling errors described above, there are several other sources of variation that are little affected by the size or design of the sample.

Incomplete reporting

Nonresponsc errors in marriage and divorce data may arise from any of these three sources: (1) The item is not on the certificate of a particular reporting area. For example, the item “color” WM removed

from the 1971 revision of the Massachusetts marriage record; (2) sometimes when a State revises its form to include additional items, copies of the old form are

able). A major proportion of the not stated cases for marriages were duc to the absence of items on some of the reporting forms (not reportable). In contrast, the majority of not stated items on records of divorce or annulment arose from unanswered items (not cornplctcd). On the divorce records, personal infor­mation (age, race, etc.) typically has been less com­pletely reported than information about the dissolved marriage or about the type of decree.

Other sources of error

Inconsistent responses. –Occasionally, for both marriages and divorces, the responses to related items are inconsistent. For example, the previous marital status of the bride or groom, as shown on the mar­riage ccrtificatc, may not be consistent with the stated number of times married or number of this marriage. Such differences are reconciled before Tabulation.

Amb@ous wording of items. –Some of the items arc worded so that they do not yield information” easily classified in standardized categories. This often leads to errors in classification, more frequently of geographic place names (residence, place of marriage, and place of birth) and of previous marriages.

Microfilm errors. -Errors in the arrangement of the records received on microfilm in NCHS some-times occur when numbers on the records are out of sequence, missing, or duplicated, or when records that are not part of the universe being sampled are erroneously included in the file.

Processing errors. -Errors may arise in coding, punching, or tabulating of records. However, all sample coding was verified 100 percent; data already on computer tape were edited for impossible codes and for inconsistencies. Instances of impossible codes and inconsistencies in information about previous marriages were rechecked to the records.

In general, for most of the data available from 1960 onward, the completeness fid year-to-year con­sistency are evidence of the basic reliability and coverage of the marriage- and divorce-registration systems.

still used extensive y by registration offices until a SUpply of the old version is exhausted; or (3) al­though the item may be on the form, there may be no response, or the response may be illegible or un­usable. Items on some forms are badly worded and do not elicit responses sufficiently precise to be classified.

Items not answered for any of these three reasons

are tabulated as “not stated.” Tables 4-9 and 4-10 show the proportions of not stated cases for specified characteristics of marriages and divorces for 1978. Footnotes to entries identify the specific State where an item was not on the certificate form (not report-
