Abstract
Family, the Peasant Household^ Land and People Mobility in Thimerais during the 18th Century. Family structure and peasant household patterns in Thimerais during the 18th century are influenced by an egalitarian system of succession that encourages mobility. An early breaking up of the family and the consequent geographical dispersion of kin, especially prevalent among day labourers, does not eliminate family cohesion which may take the form of household co-residence. However, it is only among certain elements of the middle peasantry that kin- based mutual aide and associative practices can be observed, this being due to a greater degree of local rootedness and the presence of peasant land ownership.
