TOVAR PULIDO, Raquel. Family and Heads of Household near the End of the Reign of Fernando VII: The City of Trujillo. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.154, pp.137-172. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v39i154.384.

This article analyzes families in the city of Trujillo -in the high Extremadura- in the 1920s. The study is based primarily on a documentary source of extraordinary value: a census of the inhabitants of Trujillo that includes complete listings of every family living there. The family recomposition method applied by P. Laslett in the 1970s allowed us to approach two important variables in the fields of historical demography and family history: first, regarding knowledge of family models, we elucidate the nature of the household aggregates and the kinship ties that exist among their various members; second, the study analyzes the figure and role of the head of household or head of family, whether this position was occupied by a man or a woman.

Palavras-chave : family structure; heads of household; Extremadura; Iberian Peninsula; Old Regime.
