The work first analyzes family structure and demographic variables as they appear in population registers and other sources, and the impact of these findings on theoretical syntheses of the European family pattern. On most features, such as population structure, marriage and nuptiality, birth and fertility, death and mortality rates, family and household size and structure, as well as inheritance patterns, the Balkans show an enormous deal of internal variety. This variability is put in a comparative European context by matching the quantifiable results with comparable figures and patterns in other parts of Europe. The second section of the book is a contribution to the long-standing debate over the zadruga, the complex, collective, joint or extended family in the Balkans. Finally, the book considers ideology and mythology and the ways it has adversely affected scholarship on the family, and broadly on population history. 606 $aFamily demography$zBulgaria 607 $aBulgaria$xPopulation 607 $aBulgaria$xSocial life and customs 610 $a19th century, Demography, Family life, Ottoman Empire, Population, Social life and customs. 615 0$aFamily demography 676 $a304.6094977 700 $aTodorova$b Marii?a Nikolaeva$0458950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808146403321 996 $aBalkan family structure and the European pattern$94005917 997 $aUNINA
