Using marriage banns registers from the Amsterdam City Archives, this study identifies the demographic and spatial behaviour of Norwegian female immigrants to Amsterdam, a city that witnessed rapid economic and population growth during the seventeenth century. The article approaches the topic by making: (1) an ethnic distinction between mixed Norwegian/non-Norwegian unions and homogeneous all-Norwegian unions, as well as (2) a distinction by husband's occupation in these unions, whether at sea or on land. Like all women in Amsterdam, Norwegian women experienced a general pressure in the marriage market around 1675, though a somewhat lower pressure for homogeneous unions with sailors. Occupation may explain the residential pattern, suggesting that work defined neighbourhoods more than ethnicity.

1621-1720 年阿姆斯特丹挪威女性的婚姻模式和居住行为

本研究使用阿姆斯特丹城市档案馆的婚姻禁令登记册，确定了挪威女性移民到阿姆斯特丹的人口和空间行为，阿姆斯特丹这座城市在 17 世纪见证了经济和人口的快速增长。该文章通过以下方式接近该主题：(1) 挪威/非挪威混合结合与同质的全挪威结合之间的种族区别，以及 (2) 丈夫在这些结合中的职业的区别，无论是在海上还是在陆地. 与阿姆斯特丹的所有女性一样，挪威女性在 1675 年左右在婚姻市场上经历了普遍压力，尽管与水手同质结合的压力略低。职业可以解释居住模式，这表明工作比种族更能定义社区。
