Documenting Above-Replacement Fertility in Sub-Replacement Contexts

1/ Hidden in Paris for over 200 years: a high-fertility religious community known as “La Famille.”

Marrying exclusively within their own sect, with ~4,000 members divided amongst only 8 surnames.

A history so unusual that one of their prophets even appears in Les Misérables. Image 2/ La Famille has Christian roots stemming from 17th century Jansenism & 18th century Convulsionnaires movements.

Persecuted, in 1791 the brothers Claude & François Bonjour fled crucifixion in Lyon, settling in Paris on rue de Montreuil; where they converted Jean-Pierre Thibout Image

'Dissident Pentecostalists'
(Another) Demographically Above-Replacement Ukrainian Religious Group

Villages with very high percentages of such Pentecostals (+ some Evangelical Baptists) have abnormally high TFR rates for Ukraine, ranging from 5-6

A thread 🧵 ImageImageImage Locations such as the Village Council of Glynivska, Rokytne & Volodymyrets Raions, Rivne Oblast host large numbers

Contrasting rural Ukrainian decline:
Glynivska Coucil grew to 7,600 in 2017, of which 1,381 were preschoolers, 1,984 were school aged & births reaching 250+ / year ImageImageImage

Ukrainian Religious Group Exploding Demographically:

As Ukraine's population collapses, a small group is expanding across the villages of western Ukraine: with 8+ children /woman!

They are incorrectly labeled the "Ukrainian Amish" by media sources in Russia and Ukraine. Image

Image At first, I thought they were Russian "Old Believers" or possibly Mennonites still living in Ukraine. In fact, they are not Amish; but, have come to many similar conclusions spiritually, physically (plain clothing etc.) and technologically (no vehicles or electricity).
