Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An individual’s ethnic identity stems from a sense of belonging, to a greater or lesser degree, to a group with its own distinct characteristics. Since censuses and many quantitative surveys contain questions about ethnic origin, the extent to which responses match respondents’ ancestry can be examined. Using genealogical information about nearly 400 individuals residing in the Gaspesie region of eastern Quebec, this study compared participants’ reported origins with the origins of their first immigrant ancestors to have settled in Quebec. The participants’ genealogies were reconstructed, their immigrant ancestors identified and their geographical origins documented. The results show that the origins reported by respondents in the Gaspe Peninsula are consistent with their ancestry. Although almost all the participants have immigrant ancestors of various origins, in the majority of cases their reported group of origin is also the one most represented by those ancestors. Interestingly, when their paternal and maternal origins are different, respondents are more likely to identify with their paternal ones. Despite a diverse history of settlement and considerable intermingling of ethnic groups, inhabitants of the Gaspesie region have maintained a sense of ethnic identity that still reflects a certain demographic and genetic reality today. Abstract: L’identite ethnique d’un individu releve d’un sentiment d’appartenance plus ou moins prononce a un groupe possedant certaines caracteristiques propres. Dans les recensements et de nombreuses enquetes quantitatives, une question sur l’origine ethnique est posee aux participants et on peut se demander dans quelle mesure les reponses fournies correspondent aux origines ancestrales des repondants. A partir d’informations genealogiques portant sur pres de 400 individus residant dans la region de la Gaspesie (Est du Quebec), cette etude compare l’origine declaree par les participants a celles des premiers immigrants de leur ascendance etablis sur le sol quebecois. Les genealogies des participants ont ete reconstruites, les ancetres immigrants identifies et leurs origines geographiques documentees. Les resultats montrent que l’origine declaree par les participants gaspesiens trouve une correspondance sur le plan des origines ancestrales. Bien que presque tous les participants aient des ancetres immigrants d’origines diverses, le groupe d’appartenance est, dans la majorite des cas, le plus represente parmi ces ancetres. En particulier, les repondants ont davantage tendance a s’identifier a leurs origines paternelles qu’a leurs origines maternelles lorsque celles-ci different. Malgre une histoire de peuplement diversifiee et un metissage important, les Gaspesiens ont donc conserve un sentiment d’appartenance ethnique qui reflete aujourd’hui encore une certaine realite demographique et genetique. Abstract: La identidad de un individuo depende de un sentimiento de pertenencia mas o menos pronunciado a un grupo que posee ciertas caracteristicas propias. En los censos y en numerosas encuestas cuantitativas, se interroga frecuentemente sobre el origen etnico de las personas y es interesante saber en que medida las respuestas corresponden a sus origenes ancestrales. A partir de informaciones genealogicas sobre cerca de 400 individuos residentes en la region de Gaspesia (al este de Quebec), este estudio compara el origen declarado por los participantes al de los primeros inmigrantes ascendientes establecidos en el territorio de Quebec. Para ello se han reconstituido las genealogias que han permitido identificar los ascendientes inmigrantes y sus origines geograficos. Los resultados muestran que el origen declarado por los encuestados corresponde a los origenes ancestrales. Bien que casi todos los participantes a la encuesta tengan origenes diversos, el grupo de pertenencia es, en la mayoria de los casos, el mas representado en los ancestros. Igualmente, los encuestados se identifican mas con sus origenes paternos que con los maternos, cuando estos difieren. A pesar de una historia de poblamiento y un mestizaje importante, los gaspesianos han conservado pues un sentimiento de pertenencia etnica que refleja todavia hoy una cierta realidad demografica y genetica.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
