Užvenčio parapijos bajorų ir valstiečių namų ūkis 1836-1861 metais. (Lithuanian)

The article deals with the households of the nobles and peasants in the first half of the nineteenth century in Užventis parish, Samogitia. In the middle of the twentieth century, John Hajnal and Peter Laslett started researching the history of resident households. The researchers formulated theoretical and methodological foundations for household analysis and encouraged other historians and demographers to undertake similar studies. The researchers who analysed the households of Central and Eastern Europe either refuted or corrected many of the statements proposed by John Hajnal and Peter Laslett and established that the most common household in Central and Eastern Europe was a nuclear household, although in many cases it was also possible to find an extended household. However, it was not clarified at what age people started building new households and which household model dominated in Samogitia. Also, it was not known what the difference between a household of nobles and a household of peasants was. The data on the households of the nobles and peasants also interconnected. The households of landlords were bigger than the households of peasants and the petty nobility, because the menage of a landlord used to be part of the household. After analysing the aforementioned data, it has been discovered that in the first half of the nineteenth century, nuclear household dominated Užventis parish. Extended household models were often found as well. The Catholic inhabitants of Užventis parish married late and had a child every two years. Around 3500 Catholic residents lived in Užventis parish in the first half of the nineteenth century. The analysis of the data showed that nuclear household dominated the Užventis parish in the first half of the nineteenth century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taikant Johno Hajnalo europinį santuokos tyrimo modelį, straipsnyje atliekamas Užvenčio parapijos valstiečių ir bajorų namų ūkio mikroistorinis tyrimas. Siekiama išsiaiškinti, ar Žemaitijoje vyravo sudėtinis namų ūkio modelis, ar Žemaitija pagal J. Hajnalo teoriją tikrai priskirtina rytinei Europos daliai. Remiantis Užvenčio RKB metrikų knygomis ir parapijiečių sąrašais patvirtinama, kad Užvenčio parapijoje 1836-1861 m. vyravo vėlyva santuoka, o branduolinis namų ūkis sudarė ženklią visų parapijos bajorų ir valstiečių namų ūkio dalį.
