“…Hereditary tenure of farms on crown land was established in 1869, almost a century later than in Sweden. 45 In case of eviction because of rent arrears, his heirs or relatives had the prerogative to take over the farm. From 1859, crown tenants had the right to buy their landholdings and turn them into freeholds.…”

This article addresses how long tenant farmers in the Russian Baltic Provinces of Estland and Livland managed to occupy the farms and whether they transferred them within the family in the early phase of agricultural transformation (1841–1889). It contributes to the long-standing debate over the relative power of manorial lords and tenants in the (East Elbian) manorial system. Looking at individual-level data on the changes in tenantship on more than 1,000 farmsteads across 5 parishes, the article demonstrates the relative instability of tenant holdings and lack of independence in land transfers on noble manors.

“…Netolimoje Estijoje XVIII a. pabaigoje vidutinį namų ūkį sudarė 8 asmenys, o ekonomiškai silpniau išsivysčiusiuose gubernijos pietuose -vidutiniškai 12 žmonių (Kahk et al 1982). Vidutinius namų ūkius Estijoje sudarydavo viena ar dvi vedusių brolių šeimos ir jų vaikai, tačiau kartu gyvenančios trijų ar keturių brolių šeimos faktiškai neegzistavo (ten pat; 85).…”

The paper analyzes family and household types in the mid. 19th century Vilnius and Kaunas gubernijy. The research is based on the large-scale dataset composed of the archival census-like listings of individuals by family units and defined as inventories. The dataset covers the inventories from 1847 and it includes around 20 thousand individuals. Based on the Hammel and Laslett (1974) methodology the research identifies nuclear, extended, and multiple-family households. The research is guided by Hajnal’s (1982) theory on the North-Western and Eastern European household systems. The former could be characterized by the dominance of the nuclear family households. Empirical analysis proves that around 40 percent of all households were nuclear family households. On the other hand, multiple-family households were not dominant. Thus, the main findings corroborate the idea that there was a transitional zone between the Eastern and North-Western household systems in the western part of the tsarist Russian empire.
