The households of traditional eastern Europe were frequently complex,
containing a variety of kin beyond the members of the head's conjugal family unit. In
these households, the domain of family roles was fused with the domain of kin roles.
The interaction between the household and the kin group therefore means, in these
coresidential units, the interaction of different role domains, and to understand this
interaction we have to know more about the nature of each domain and more about
how roles were enacted. This appears to be the next step in micro-level structural
research for Eastern Europe.
